on top of that they highlight repeat guests which makes no sense. and the fact that they highlight them specifically is very fishy.

these seem like very flawed metrics to say the least. but then for twitter journos, twitter is everything.

> We cannot let prisons continue being factories for drug addicts and career criminals

or literal factories. prison labor is not always forced, but always cheap labor and some of it even dangerous. imagine getting paid 2$ a day to fight CA's wildfires

the term "astronaut" is not tied to universal characteristics such as having been to earth's orbit. instead, the term was introduced by NASA and is explicitly reserved for crew members of NASA space programs who have been to orbit or beyond. therefore there are also no soviet astronauts

this is true, they were in space for just as long.

that sounds about right. but if you're not married, you're more likely to get to ~3,800€ a month after taxes and social security contributions, which comes in at ~42% combined.

there are apparently 50k names in that list, last I've checked they confirmed ~180 journalists are among them. spying on journalists is atrocious, but who are the other 49.800?

incentivizing sterilisations seems like a slippery slope for a democracy.

next step is having more than 2 kids will wreck your credit score and this kid will be denied higher education. this is some text book china shit.

I'm approaching ~100 days of running. after ~2 weeks it quickly became a habit, so much so that during the two days I could not run (vaccine), I felt a constant itch to do so.

started with 4k everyday at a 7min pace, now it's down to 5:30 and I do 8k everyday and 10-15k on weekends. Usually I do this in between coding sessions and use my run to listen to some podcast and/or think about a current issue. never been more productive while also feeling much more healthy.
