You should just do this on a regular basis. Because I'm enthusiastic, fastidious and clever, I don't worry much. All the big, meaningful accounts were safe, but one of the tiny's got pasted.
I seem to remember taking the Myers-Briggs test some years ago, but I'm not sure I remember the circumstances. I'm sure I don't remember my score.

I didn’t even break a sweat over the Buzzfead story. I implemented a 72 hour “breaking news timeline” a long time ago. Lately they reveal themselves as fake in less than 24. Talk about losing your audience. I’m completely desensitized to “breaking news” now. Kind of scary.
Jobs, minimum wages, hours worked, robots. What could go wrong?
Well, well, well. In a case of "we told you so," liberals who work in the restaurant industry are finding that 2019 has brought them fewer hours at work. Sure, they now get that beloved $15 an hour (why just $15 an hour? Why not $20 or $25 or even $100 an hour?), but that new minimum wage law they love so much is forcing restaurant owners in New York City to cut hours as well as cut staff and raise menu prices. If only someone had warned them this would happen.
Faced with a worker shortage, restaurants and cafes are hiring robot chefs to cook burgers and fries, bake bread, and whip up premium coffee. Several companies developing food and beverage preparation robots came to CES 2019 to promote their businesses this week.
Less "worker shortage" and more "my margins are paper thin". Good thing that AOC got that sweet, sweet congressional gig. The de facto minimum wage has always been $0.00.
"...Men like Lader and Nathanson offered abortion as a way for women to achieve equal treatment in the workplace. But to say that abortion is the solution to a woman’s pregnancy is, in essence, to agree with a boss who thinks a pregnant woman isn’t worth keeping on the job.
"Abortion has done nothing to correct the oppression and inequality that women face; instead, it has perpetuated that oppression and inequality. Abortion is one more excuse to neglect and discriminate against pregnant women, because it gives women the Faustian bargain of purported equality in exchange for the life of their child..."

So I'm supposed to believe that if contraceptives were legal but abortion wasn't, employers wouldn't at least be strongly tempted to fire a pregnant worker, whether she planned to get pregnant or not? Seriously?
(Reminder: ALL contraceptives have a failure rate, even sterilization.)

I'll never understand how this orange baboon, named in over 1,100 court cases, ever made it through campaign, let alone the election, without a decisively wounding legal encumbrance. Some agency, some prosecutor, some attorney somewhere in the system should have been able stop him cold. (Same for Hillary.)
But none could find the legal reasoning, or the supporting political wherewithal, to bring him to a halt.
He's in the White House now. There will be no smoking gun. Too many flaming arsenals of legal misconduct on Trump's part have been smokelessly buried in sand for any sane person to think that legal proceduralists are composing a more virtuous tomorrow... Not after the mess they've made of yesterday.
Mueller-masturbation is pathetically naive, not thoughtfully optimistic.

Mueller-masturbation means never having to compromise with a president you despise. Convinced that the special prosecutor is just days away from indicting the president on charges, Democrats can blow off any policy agenda Trump puts forward and refuse to negotiate with what they petulantly insist is an illegitimate president.
To a lesser degree, the Republicans behaved similarly toward Bill Clinton just before impeaching him.

I hereby recant 5:32 AM. By definition (my own), "problems" means that not everyone will benefit. Some people will, without a doubt, suffer terribly.
But on the whole, I think Crispr'y innovations will leave us in a much stronger, safer, kinder condition, for the benefit of people a hundred thousand other organisms.
Bad things happen. A dear woman died in a car crash. But her life, and that of her family, was infinitely richer for her access to automotive travel.

Annie the Cee-girl was right about Trump before anyone else in 2016, and I think she's right about him today.

Remember-- There *will* be problems, no matter what happens.
But CRISPR is good. It will make things better for all of us.
