@inthehands I think I agree with you. I was on the bleeding edge of #InformationWareHousing #TeraData #Oracle #Cobol #Cscripts when Merck vertically integrated with Medco which became #ExpressScripts. Layer on #Y2K and #AnthraxEnvelopes. The question is what is the cost for the damage in human lives compared to the cost of code. With the #NewNihilism there will be #Wreckage if #RedStates are wrecked more than #BlueStates #WeAreWinning.

And finally, new data from Nameberry says people in red states are giving their kids the classic Jewish name Cohen (sometimes with the spelling Kohen). Our @CultureDesk featured this Forward story by Benyamin Cohen and Mira Fox, who are trying to figure out why. Theories include that people are naming their children after the directing duo the Coen brothers, or that it’s a co-opting by Christians of Jewish traditions. Says Benyamin: “I think it’s clever to give pets human names. We have chickens and each one is named after an NPR broadcaster. We have Terry Gross, Yuki Noguchi, Nina Totenberg and so on. We’re actually on our third Melissa Block. The first two, alas, are in chicken heaven now.” Mira replies: “And they all, of course, have your last name.” Benyamin: “Yes, yes. We call them the Co-Hens. I wonder what Nameberry would think of that.”

The Forward · How two Jewish names — Kohen and Mira — are dividing red and blue statesBaby names reflect America’s political and religious divides — with Jewish names like Kohen and Mira gaining traction in different places.

Trump appointed #AlinaHabba #AttorneyGeneral for #NewJersey Like watching the #Wreckage in a #BadMarriage and #AbusiveRelationship: #Trump and the #GOP is the #AbusiveHusband and #SenSchumer and the #TheDemocrats is the #AbusedWife. #RedStates side with #Daddy #BlueStates side with #Mommy #ElonMusk is a #WeirdUncle and everyone is in #Denial. In this #Nihilism there WILL be #LotsOfDamage. The only positive can be that the #RedStates recieve more damage than the #BlueStates which subsidize them.

"People are fleeing Austin, #Texas in droves. The city lost -13,500 ppl to outbound migration in 2024.

The biggest drop the city has ever experienced.

This outmigration has now caused Austin's #housing market to collapse. With home prices down 19.5% over the last two+ years.

Some of these ppl leaving Austin head to the suburbs like Williamson & Hays County, others are going back to CA & NY."
-N Gerli

It's hell living in TX -many ppl are fleeing the fascist state.
