Oh damn, fungal pathogens… yet another emerging risk worthy of our attention and a modicum of worry. Anyone else kinda freaked out by the potential pathobiology of #climatechange and #globalwarming ?? I mean when the polar permafrost starts melting all kinds of nasty shit may come to life and be released. As if there weren’t enough to worry about already. If you thought masking for Covid was a pain, just wait for this shit to hit the fan. #epidemiology #publichealth https://www. vice.com/en/article/wxj8ny/pan doras-box-doctors-warn-of-rising-plant-fungus-infections-in-people-after-first-of-its-kind-case

I’m saddened to report the passing at 82 yrs old of my friend Emmy Award winner Leo D. Sullivan - the 1st Black animator in Hollywood. Leo worked for the great names on some memorable shows. Fat Albert, Soul Train, The Hulk cartoon, the Cosby Kids, & other well known names. It was a pleasure to work with Leo on his Afrokids project - which delivered culturally sensitive content to #Black families. We wrote a staff memorial note: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Le EZAv2Blk4QBrPUS5Kn_XHY6CoS-GjBjb7sgXvBiA4/edit #BlackFriday #BlackFedi #blackmastodon

Economic warning signs are flashing yellow, says Mohamed El-Erian, president of Queens’ College, Cambridge & chief economic advisor at Allianz. Though we may have made it past the recent #banking crisis, significant headwinds remain as does the risk of #stagflation. Tightening credit by banks paired w/high interest rates will slow down the economy substantially. When coupled with very high personal & corporate debt levels, it is clear lots of defaults are on the horizon. https://youtu.be/hCUBnCVH-9k

My 2 favorite & trusted economists are Mohamed El-Erian & Nouriel Roubini. Follow these two experts to break down the current macroeconomic scene & predict future moves, these are your guys. Roubini, aka Dr. Doom, accurately predicted the 2007-08 crash. He is professor emeritus at the Stern school of Business @ NYU. In this video he dissects the latest economic crisis & predicts a #hardlanding in Q3-4 of this year. Get ready. https://youtube.com/watch?v=xa127Txog0 M&feature=share #economics #recession #economy #banks #banking

“My dream job has become obsolete bc of AI and I feel like nothing is real” - It’s already begun folks, & #automation and #robotics is going to make many more jobs obsolete in the near future. What will become of the working class? This is why we need unions, strong ones, to bargain on our behalf. This is why we need woke progressive politicians to fight for our rights. Otherwise, think about it, the giant Corps will reap all the benefits & leave us behind. https://old.reddit.com/r/SuicideWatch/comments/123rdrv/my_dream_job_has_become_obsolete_bc_of_ai_and_i/

House full of daffodils currently, we picked 147 stems from our clump of wild, naturalized yellow daffodils a couple days ago. Down at the bottom of a swale, this clump has been growing naturally for decades. Really makes it feel like Spring inside, even when a last winter storm is blowing through. #garden #flowers #daffodils #spring
