When tens of thousands of Kansas City residents take to the roads and skies this holiday season, they will unknowingly spread germs as they go. That’s where the Kansas City mutual aid group 816 COVID Crew comes in — by helping provide free, high-quality masks to the public.

An investor called $140,000 the new poverty line. Experts disagreed but said he had a point.

I wrote a book about US media’s complicity in the Gaza genocide. It's available for pre-order. It’s a data-driven and, I hope, thorough account of how center-left media sold the American public on mass death in Gaza.

Living with Long COVID often feels like living in a horror movie. Along with your disease comes a creepy Hive Mind refusal to acknowledge the dangers of COVID infection. In Vince Gilligan's new Apple TV show Pluribus, the Hive Mind comes to life:
