I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was

It was the day my grandmother exploded. I sat in the crematorium, listening to my Uncle Hamish quietly snoring in harmony to Bach's Mass in B Minor, and I reflected that it always seemed to be skipping dipshits that drew me back to Gallanach.

Evidence Does Not Support the Use of the Death Penalty Capital punishment must come to an end. It does not deter crime, is not humane and has no moral or medical basis

Yes, the death penalty is cruel, brutalistic, immoral, retrogressive, unevenly distributed among races/ethnicities, and plays to our very worst instincts as a species. But: it also doesn't fucking work. So that's neat. www.scientificamerican.com/article/evid....

If you’re a CEO who can’t produce another year of growth for your mega-profitable corporation, it’s because infinite growth is a lie sold to MBAs and you’re a mark.
