Well, I guess at least you’re just a bigot and not also a hypocrite.

“Do not oppress a foreigner; you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners, because you were foreigners in Egypt.
—Exodus 23:9 (NIV)”

I hope you don’t call yourself a Christian.

Oof, yeah. It’ll be time to break out my N95s again

Anticipation of surge? We’re already on the downslope of a recent tiny surge up here in the Boston area:

They’re game devs, not an acquisition and mergers team. “We signed contract to do business with xyz terms” should be plenty reliable enough for conducting business. Not “Lol, whut? You didn’t read the fine print? Psyche! We’re changing everything.”

Unity deserve to get sued into oblivion for this

Maybe let’s try focusing on content and not personal characteristics of the presenters:

I’m way more annoyed by that terrible echoey microphone

I don’t understand what you mean. We solved sexism and racism, didn’t you hear? These are no longer problems that actually exist in the world and we’re all just whining about nothing.

“Overwhelmingly, we’re seeing these challenges come from organized censorship groups that target local library board meetings to demand removal of a long list of books they share on social media.”

Maybe you should try reading sometime.

Yeah I have no idea how this was arranged, but it’s a very cool thing to have happened. God bless Mo and his family.

“Women are specifically stating that the direct reason they’re choosing to delay pregnancy is the fall of Roe creating emergency health concerns.”

“I dunno, are you sure you can believe what women say? Did you check the “real” data?”

“The truth is you love censorship, and so does everyone else. The only question is whether you’re ready to admit it.”

YEP. Same. It’s always entertaining at work to watch a colleague who’s never heard my accent before hear me speak to a patient from Appalachia or the south

This is why antimaskers are extra fucking dumb. We were always fairly certain all the cardiac effects we’ve seen in people right after a Covid infection were because of the virus, but they chose to go out there and throw themselves in front of the train anyway.

Yeah I’m absurdly good at not speaking in my native Appalachian accent, opting instead for a sort of “generic midwest.” Unless I’m tawking to ma day-ed-dy, n’ then all bets is awf."

My sister and I cover so well and so often that none of her four children who are literally being raised in Charleston, West Virginia has even a trace of our accent.

Their content promotion algorithms are not protected by section 230. Those algorithms are the real problem, pushing more and more radical content onto vulnerable minds. (The alt-right YouTube pipeline is pretty well documented. Reddit, I think, less so. But they still promote “similar content”)

It’s a rather bizarre argument, essentially saying “it’s not the whole solution so it’s not a solution at all”

Lawdamercy, can you please say it louder for the people in the back whinging that they refuse to vote for Biden because his Climate Bill wasn’t perfectly everything all at once? In the face of the Republican denialist obstructionism, it’s pretty fucking miraculous. The ultimate solution to climate change is going to be a patchwork quilt of a million different tiny solutions

AirBNB was great back when it was just a viable means for finding a room in someone’s house to crash for a few days. Then the profiteers found it and AirBNB sacrificed their entire reputation for short-sighted greed. Add with everything in the past 20 years

Except no one pushed for business as usual? Quarantines and higher level pandemic interventions are not appropriate for an endemic infection. We should be vaccinating and masking when there’s an increase in Covid infections. But we should also be doing that for influenza and we don’t.

I’m not arguing semantics. Pandemic vs. endemic is a factual epidemiological definition. The problem is that we routinely choose not to deal with dangerous endemic infections like influenza. We should always have been doing more.

If you remove the capital letters, “the first lady” got Covid could imply that only men have gotten it up to this point
