Supposedly, there's an old Chinese saying that goes, "May you live in interesting times."
Well, fuck you, China, you bastards!
This is all your fault!!

Just cause it's Super Bowl day:
At a glance:
- New study of nearly 2,000 former NFL players found that 34 percent think they have CTE, a condition it is not yet possible to confirm in a living person.
- Former players who believed they had CTE reported significantly more cognitive problems, depression, suicidality, chronic pain, and other problems than those who did not have concerns.
- To reduce chances of players prematurely attributing symptoms to CTE, which may lead to hopelessness and thoughts of self-harm, authors recommend identifying and treating any conditions that cause similar neurocognitive symptoms.

I posted two comments in an X thread. One snarky comment about kids and one noting that like X, Trump is barely breaking even in the polls. The latter post disappeared.

Maybe an asteroid hit is what we need.
Let's call it target practice.

^I strongly support an asteroid strike. The IUOSSR [Interplanetary Union Of Scary Space Rubble] simply wants better pay and working conditions for its member lumps. I don’t see how any reasonable person could object to that.
