We were then told facemasks don’t work, without them telling the public that ffp2 respirators like the 3M Aura do work. This was only corrected in the press in Forbes. www.forbes.com/sites/brucel...

Fuck Gavin Newsom. I will never vote for him and you shouldn't either.

Here’s the thing I wish everyone could hold in their minds about writers—we love em dashes. We use em dashes. We are humans and not AI. We will not be deleting our em dashes just because AI uses them too. We were here first. You can pry my em dashes from my cold dead hands. F*ck AI.

An airport in Los Angeles was completely without an air traffic control unit for several hours yesterday. That’s just the first such report of an effect this shutdown is having on the country.

If you live in dc and love theater, make a point to see the production if Cyrano by Taffety Pubk theater. Some of the best theater I’ve seen in years. Just staggering.

My feed was FLOODED with absolutely reckless disinformation from @washingtonpost.com today, as usual.

They are one of the worst perpetrators of clickbait chemophobic disinformation.

And yet scream about the threat that is RFK Jr while parroting the exact same lies.

if this were true, it would be the entirety of the news cycle, we'd have bodycam footage, gofundmes for the wounded, and the fed be sending in way more than a few guardsmen. Be serious.
