Walk-in clinic is playing some kind of terrible blandwave country cover of one of my favorite Magnetic Fields songs. Am I in a coma?

@AmyStephen What comes through in anti-immigration arguments is fear. "Culture fit" is highly subjective. I want to debate on data.

Home broadband is actually declining, while smartphone use continues to soar. Amazing to watch. https://www.edsurge.com/news/2015-12-28-the-digital-divide-battle-comes-home-broadband-adoption-decl...

Full-on cold. Good thing there are no parties or celebrations this week, and I'm not in the home of an immunosuppressed person!
