David Lynch spent the last portion of his life in isolation. He said it was due to being high-risk and unable to risk getting COVID.

He’s not the only person with disability or illness who’s been left behind.

Everywhere you go without an n95 is a place you’ve decided disabled people don’t belong.

25 wealthiest Americans “saw their worth rise a collective $401 billion from 2014 to 2018. They paid a total of $13.6 billion in federal income taxes… it amounts to a true tax rate of only 3.4%.”

The median family paid a far, far higher rate on their incomes.

US’s inequalities in stark detail:

I was preparing to pitch an op-ed on the nationwide protests calling for President Yoon's resignation, aiming to provide global context amid the limited international coverage.

Given the urgency, I’m sharing it now. I didn’t expect events to escalate this quickly. #SouthKorea #Democracy

You used to call me on my self-own

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket.

Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

There you have it. Texas is the first state to officially offer up their state for the concentration camps

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

Text: #NEVERSAYHISNAME Daughter of MLK and Coretta Scott King posted this advice as the next 6 months are going to "get real". 1. Don't use his name; EVER (45 will do) 2. Remember this is a regime and he's not acting alone; 3. Do not argue with those who support him-it doesn't work, 4. Focus on his POLICIES, not his orange-ness and his mental state; 5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow; 6. No more helpless/hopeless talk; 7. Support artists and the arts; 8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Check it, 9. Take care of yourselves; And 10. Resist! When you post or talk about him, don't assign his actions to him, assign them to "The Republican Administration, or "The Republicans." This will have several effects: the Republican legislators will either have to take responsibility for their association with him or stand up for what some of them don't like; he will not get the focus of attention he craves.

Seems like decent advice.

The President of the United States will come into office with his own social media platform.

That, combined with X, means Trump will have turnkey state-run media.

I don’t think the media has fully grasped that yet.

It’s mostly white people who talk about echo chambers. Maybe you need the internet to meet people with different ideas but the rest of us do not. We know what the “other side” thinks because we deal with it every day! Everywhere! We’re fine. Carry on. Happy Saturday!

Remember that instead of reading a stupid and bad essay in the Atlantic, you can make yourself a lovely roast chicken or go for a walk.

To mark the centenary of James Baldwin, I wrote a short essay for @TheLancet. On what he's taught me about responding to pushback.

To beware of "strategic ignorance" and "the imaginary line of selective judgment".

RFK Jr is an extraordinarily dangerous man, with a body count in Samoa, and any reporter who just calls him “a vaccine skeptic” is doing the world a profound disservice.

The US government literally tried to do this 100 years ago (look up “The Narcotics Farm”) and it didn’t work and leads to worse outcomes (more deaths, more drug use) than doing nothing at all…

We're inventing a whole new type of ratio, the block-to-follower ratio. It's when you have more people blocking you than you have followers.

“It’s important not to have this place be an echo chamber” is something that sounds correct but falls apart when you realize it actually means pretending arguments done in bad faith are genuine. It’s the “I’m just asking questions” of social media
