Too bad the word “lunacy” is already taken. It would be a good fit for the NASA of today (and likely tomorrow). I guess there must be a special place in the heavens of transmuslimsofcolor.

so it can deliver staffing decisions virtually

Some years ago, a young lady I knew was a road warrior in sales. When the company decided to do a reorganization, she got a call from the VP congratulating her & advising her she was being promoted from grunt to area manager. Her first task as Area Manager was to call the current Area Manager and let her know she was being terminated.

Management too often lacks courage, or even basic human decency.

Brave new future of brain-damaged politicians!

The 53-years-old Democrat from Pennsylvania entered the hospital in mid-February after struggling with what an aide said was clinical depression that left him unable to take care of himself in basic ways, like eating or drinking. He had suffered a stroke on the campaign trail last year and had been left with speaking and auditory-processing difficulties. To understand what was being said, Mr. Fetterman had to rely mostly on a tablet to transcribe what people were saying.

Brain Disorders: Impact of Mild SARS-CoV-2 May Shrink Several Parts of the Brain

When compared to a control group, people those who tested positive for COVID-19 had more brain shrinkage, grey matter shrinkage, and tissue damage. The damage occurs predominantly in areas of the brain that are associated with odour, ambiguity, strokes, reduced attention, headaches, sensory abnormalities, depression, and mental abilities for few months after the first infection.

Direct and indirect impact of SARS-CoV-2 on the brain

Besides the acute and severe neurological problems described, as encephalopathies, leptomeningitis, and stroke, after 2 years of pandemic, the chronic impact observed during long-COVID or the post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) greatly intrigues scientists worldwide. Strikingly, even asymptomatic, and mild diseased patients may evolve with important neurological and psychiatric symptoms, as confusion, memory loss, cognitive decline, chronic fatigue, associated or not with anxiety and depression.

Twitter has changed its logo from the “blue bird” to the Dogecoin Shiba Inu.

CoinTelegraph reports “Elon Musk changes Twitter icon to Doge after seeking lawsuit dismissal”:

Dogecoin is up sharply in light of the news, with its price surging by more than 22% in the past hour to $0.09784 apiece. The icon change took place platform-wide and is directly visible by the social media giant’s estimated 360 million monthly active users, and visitors to the platform alike. Musk’s lawyers reportedly argued that “funny pictures” and “tweeting words of support” do not amount to a fraud claim.

CoinTelegraph reports, “Bitcoin Ordinals daily inscriptions surge due to ‘BRC-20 tokens’ ”.

A new daily all-time high has been recorded for the number of Ordinals inscribed on the Bitcoin network due to a recently launched “token standard” for the blockchain.

Bitcoin Ordinals reached 58,179 inscriptions on April 2, smashing the previous all-time high of 31,692 on March 9 by 83.5%, according to Dune Analytics data.

The surge is believed to be driven by the recent creation of “Bitcoin Request for Comment” (BRC-20) tokens on the Ordinals protocol by a pseudonymous on-chain analyst named Domo in early March.

Over 55,000 of the inscriptions on April 2 came in the form of text-based Ordinals, many of which were represented by BRC-20 tokens, according to “Leonidis.og,” the host of an Ordinals-focused podcast.


This explosion in the creation of “Bitcoin NFTs” has caused Bitcoin transaction fees to skyrocket. While a few days ago you could generally get transactions on the blockchain for less than 10 satoshi/virtual byte, at this writing the minimum transaction fee in the last four blocks published were 28, 33, 23, and 27 sat/vB respectively. I don’t know whether this madness will last or for how long, but at the moment it’s become a lot more profitable to be a Bitcoin miner.

Here is a semi-literate description of BRC-20 ordinals by their pseudonymous creator, “domo”, “brc-20 experiment”. No, I don’t understand it either.
