  I don't know that I'd be talking loudly to my accountant about my tax situation in the middle of a busy coffee shop, but hey—maybe that's just me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

  Thanks to a re-watch of the Backrooms videos last weekend, my YouTube recommendations are now a giant slab of dead mall and abandoned places walk-throughs, interspersed with a few "This mall is surprisingly not dead" videos.

  I'm watching the Monaco qualifications and I gotta say, they're not doing much to disabuse me of my opinion that F1 is a snooty European rich-guy sport.

  Watching the Monaco GP and I don't know any of these drivers or teams, but I gotta say I'm happy to see the cars that say "Oracle" on them not doing well.

  As I said last week (or whenever), I was glad to see the verdict against Facebook and YouTube for deliberately designing a harmful and addictive product. But I wonder if the better analogy than the tobacco industry is how we regulate gambling. Or at least, how we *used to* regulate gambling, because now it seems we have decided as a society that gambling is awesome and should be integrated into every part of life. https://yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/p/what-many-parents-are-missing-abou...

  For no particular reason, I was just thinking about all those friends' houses from the late 1970s and early 1980s that had the bathroom wallpaper that looks like old-timey 19th century newspaper, with the ads for horseless carriages and Dr. Phosphate's Miracle Health Drops and whatnot. I was always kind of jealous.
