I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs.

We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives.

RFK Jr. is a disgrace.

If you haven't alread, pull your stuff from Academia edu IMMEDIATELY, especially if you have unpublished and draft ideas on there.

Getting through autocracy one pomodoro at a time.

what even is the fucking point

Call Them What They Are The Republican Party has become a haven for Nazi sympathizers.

"If wannabe Nazis now confidently roam the halls of power—and the streets of American cities—it is because Republican leaders have made them feel at home."

They are stealing children in order to brainwash them into becoming the next generation of psychopathic fundamentalists, and that is not an exaggeration or a conspiracy theory.

X Really Is Pulling Users to the Right Elites may not be as immune to this kind of algorithmic radicalization as they think.

You can explain a lot of the shift towards blatant transphobia by the centrist political class from them remaining on Twitter after Elon bought it. It's one of his singular missions to destroy the trans community to get back at his daughter Vivian.
