I love Powell's. Amazing bookstore.

I thought this was going to be one of those, this didn't age well, quotes, but it's from 😳😂

Is There Any Hope? Has the plane already crashed?

I love reading James Fell and this is great reminder that even when everything seems to be going sideways, we shouldn't stop trying. It sucks that we're in this situation, but we must persevere.

Excellent description of today's MAGA-Republican Party. They're not capable of empathy or compassion. It's all about the cruelty with them.

What a $2 Million Per Dose Gene Therapy Reveals About Drug Pricing Taxpayers and charities helped develop Zolgensma. Then it debuted at a record price, ushering in a new class of wildly expensive drugs. Its story upends the widely held conception that high prices ref...

New, from @propublica.org

Taxpayers and charities subsidized much of the science that led to Zolgensma.

Yet that support came with no conditions for the companies that brought the drug over the finish line, even when it came to setting a price: $2M+ for a single dose!

If you really

concentrate

you can see these “detention centers” as what they truly are.
