My tweets are fleeing the dark place - please welcome them! And keep a kind wish in your heart for the blue bird who deserved so much better - perhaps it will again fly free of evil billionaires.

Welp, time for @BBCWorldService's regular Two Minutes of Hasbara Hate: leading off Gaza coverage with ex-Knesset member's propaganda re UNRWA, then thoughtful ex-UN undersec, then host platforming of Netanyahu promising help.

Oh heck - time to relearn strategy for FPTP voting with @SFElections!
(If I only like two of five candidates, do I vote them "all the way down? Or say one of five candidates - same? Brain hurts!)

Sad for excellent @LATimes staff that folks respond to their billionaire owner's sabotage of editorials with cancellations &/or ad hominem attacks on anyone else at LAT.
Only person responsible for billionaire owner is his cowardly, servile self.
He's on here: folks can tell him.

Welp, missed window to get to Blaine outside of pouring rain..so went ahead & added Moderna (updated) to my flu shot. Grateful both are free in BC (> $350 US w/o insurance): but Canada/BC’s failure to order more effective/better tolerated Novavax will cost health & lives.

"The Goldwater Rule is flawed. It is an anachronism, a bastion of a bygone era where censorship and status ruled."

"Furthermore, the APA's proscription on diagnosis without formal interview can be questioned, since third-party payers, expert witnesses in law cases, and historical psychobiographers make diagnoses without conducting formal interviews."

The Ethics of APA's Goldwater Rule Section 7.3 of the code of ethics of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) cautions psychiatrists against making public statements about public figures whom they have not formally evaluated. The APA's concern is to safeguard the public perception of psychiatry as a scientific and credible profession. The ethic is that diagnostic terminology and theory should not be used for speculative or ad hominem attacks that promote the interests of the individual physician or for political and ideological causes. However, the Goldwater Rule presents conflicting problems. These include the right to speak one's conscience regarding concerns about the psychological stability of high office holders and competing considerations regarding one's role as a private citizen versus that as a professional figure. Furthermore, the APA's proscription on diagnosis without formal interview can be questioned, since third-party payers, expert witnesses in law cases, and historical psychobiographers make diagnoses without conducting formal interviews. Some third-party assessments are reckless, but do not negate legitimate reasons for providing thoughtful education to the public and voicing psychiatric concerns as acts of conscience. We conclude that the Goldwater Rule was an excessive organizational response to what was clearly an inflammatory and embarrassing moment for American psychiatry.
