Jay Bhttacharya wrote a piece with the headline "Is the Coronavirus as Deadly as They Say?" on March 24, 2020.

As NYC was parking refrigerator trucks on the street to accommodate all the bodies.

And now he's the head of CDC and NIH. Truly awful.

Alysa Liu is breaking the conservative ecosystem. The far-right rage accounts are trying to get people to hate her for her dance, her body, her implicit (and sometimes explicit) queerness, her "wokeness."

And yet so many people who have been receptive to that are rejecting it, saying they love her.

I am never going to get over the fact thar so many Americans died that corpses stacked up in nursing homes and hospital morgues, that refrigerator trucks had to be brought in for the overflow, and that the big takeaway from Important Pundits is there should have been *less* mitigation.

Now that the catโ€™s out of the bag, and thereโ€™s no way to put it back in:

I need everybody to know that yes, my last name really is Manlove, so thatโ€™s one more point on the board for nominative determinism

aside from being a right-wing ideological project, substackโ€™s entire goal is to trap writers and readers in their platform. it sucks to use, it sucks be a reader of. a worse user interface, worse fee breakdown for writers, and directly supporting nazi blogs. ditch it.

She never lived to see this moment, but itโ€™s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrewโ€™s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Watching other countries actually make their leaders and powerful men face consequences with jealousy.

No, I'm sorry, I mis-remembered. Someone reserved SEVEN rooms and is now charging people extra for a spot. Why.

Frustrated with what the hotel share situation at pax has turned into. People buying like 4 rooms to rent out and everyone is charging more than the actual cost of the rooms. Had someone cancel on me because they reserved three different spots until they had their PTO approved yesterday & ...

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

When Racism Stops Carrying Consequences Opinion: Trumpโ€™s attacks on the Obamas reveal what happens when open bigotry no longer disqualifies a presidentโ€”and how that shift could endanger civil-rights protections.

Trump posted a racist video depicting the Obamas as apes. My piece isnโ€™t about the insult. Itโ€™s about what followed: minimal objection, mostly silence, no consequence.

I argue that when racism carries no political cost, enforcement of anti-discrimination laws will bend toward whoever holds power.

....what was important to write down. NTID kids (and I'm sure others, but it was overwhelmingly NTID) could put in a request for an interpreter or a note taker or both. Seemed to work pretty well!

I went to RIT which has NTID on campus. For several years I was a student notetaker. We had training and were paid minimum wage. I'd drop off my paper notes and they'd scan and upload them for the students. Upper level classes had requirements to know the source material in order to recognize (1/2)
