Why does this blood pressure cuff have a Phyrexian symbol?!

I have a doctor’s appointment this morning and they’re running late. Stream will be up when I’m home.

I still haven't read a treatment of @balajis's network state thesis that resonates, so I wrote about what it means to me, and how I reconcile it with my love of America, in an essay for The Point. thepointmag.com/politics/silic…

Sometimes people have just "lost their keys" and while it's tempting to ask them a bunch of questions in order to "empower" them to find their keys on their own, if you happen to be sitting on their keys it's sometimes more helpful just to tell them. Keys are a metaphor.
