So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.

It might just be me, but it's got a sort of Kandinsky thing going on. I like it.

High net-worth individuals can afford better lawyers and tie things up for years. The auditors are evaluated based on how many cases, and their outcomes. The system is designed to reward going after people who lack the means to defend themselves.
"the researchers suggest that the I.R.S. has focused on audits that are easier to conduct and as a result, finds itself disproportionately auditing a historically disadvantaged group rather than other taxpayers, including high net-worth individuals."

Breaking News: Black taxpayers are at least three times as likely to be audited by the IRS, a study found. The agencyβs algorithms could be a factor. https://nyti.ms/3Rjwm8a

Structural, yes, there are differences between male and female brains. Functional, no, it's just two paths to the same destination.

I foolishly agreed to a work/lunch meeting and took off my mask while the food was there, and had to quarantine for the next 10 days because a co-worker exposed the entire department.
Last time.
Almost every person I know who has been like "welp everyone is going to get covid eventually" has gotten covid. Not [all] of the people I know who are going hard have avoided getting covid. But enough folks have avoided getting it this whole time, including myself, that I know that masking and social distancing works. One of the only times I made an exception, in December 2021 I hung out with 3 friends. All of them got covid. Scared me straight and I've been more or less locked down since.
Good morning everyone and Happy Friday! Today I have lots of errands to run and things to tend to. I'll try and work on some art later. Traffic to my site has been super slow past few days, so not sure if folks are just busy or bored with my stuff already or what, but hopefully I can get things moving there again.
Here is a viking cat to start your day!

New server so now seems like a good time for introductions. After 14.5 years on that other site, it feels odd to start over.
I lead technical teams by day, I read transit reports by night, and I curl on the weekends.

Hi!
russiaβs disinformation
βThey have been investing massively, much more than we invest in fighting against disinformationβ¦ #Disinformation and #propaganda outlets are today a weapon of the kremlin. And this weapon is a weapon β it hurts, it kills. It kills the capacity of the people of understanding what is going on, and, as a consequence, the position of governments and the decisions of international organisations.β

@skaly good god this is wonderful

That's one way to catch a fish.
@ScottSoCal @ferrous@weirder.earth you could! And I could respond 'oh sure, I know a Helen or two! Hey, I see you're in southern California - do you know Kate?'
