40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

October 31 should not be a spookiness cliff, where spookiness drops precipitously the second it's over. There should be a slow, month-long decline in spookiness where spookiness levels gradually drop off during November at the same rate per day as they increased in October.

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda

Screenshot of a highlighted snippet from Hemlock and Silver: "I genuinely wanted all my patients to be healthy and happy. I just didn't feel any need to be involved with that beyond solving their current problem."

Oh my god T. Kingfisher has given a perfect description of a lab tech in her latest book! 😍😅 @tkingfisher.com This, and all the related paragraphs, are exactly on point for how many of us in the lab feel (and why we're there and not seeing patients!)

Just finished Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green and if I wasn’t already enraged about health care in the US let alone on the planet, I sure am now. Fascinating read on the history of the disease, and development and disparity of treatments.

I can’t wait to hear more about the gold cybertruck owner being ostracized now that his tailgate says “MAKE YOUR HAIR GREAT AGAIN”. Time to tune up my tiny violin.

The media needs to stop referring to RFK Jr. as a "vaccine skeptic." He is a conspiracy theorist and a vaccine denier.
