Six years ago today: "We may think we're being informed by these great social media tools, but more likely we're being fed. High fructose emotional rage medicine. Here's the next thing to be angry about. And the next and the next and so on."#
There's another reason to be in a hurry to get everyone vaccinated. As time goes by, the virus is mutating. Maybe a strain will come along that's resistent or immune to the vaccine. It makes sense that will happen faster as people are vaccinated. To work best it should happen fast. There's a lot of subtlety that is being missed in the press coverage. There is a new strain apparently in the UK now that is more communicative. Also, if history is a guide, the new strains will be less lethal. That's good news of course. #

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
