MO folks - I'm at Walgreens to get a COVID shot and the pharmacist just told me that you don't need a prescription or to have a condition that makes you extra vulnerable in order to get a shot. Apparently this just became the case. So hurry on out and get boosted while you can.

I know it’s probably because I grew up here, but I’ll be damned if I don’t love a mid-sized Midwestern city.

NEW: We got access to Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo inbox — more than 18,000 emails.

I couldn't find one when i made this post, but it's possible that's changed in the interim?

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

Karen is right.

Charlie Kirk was a violent person and violent people often come to violent ends.

The only reason it feels shocking is we’re so used to straight, white, Christian men leveraging their power and privilege to avoid the same violence they promote.

Do your mental health a favor and turn this on for today. You really don't want to watch this. It is awful.

can we skip the entire meta-conversation about how everyone on Bluesky needs to police everyone else on Bluesky about how to respond to an act of political violence
