so if i understand this correctly, gaines has made her career by publicly calling trans athletes predators and threats to women while completely failing to ever mention even once that her mentor/college swimming coach was sexually assaulting and harassing women on the team while she was there?
Riley Gaines climbed the MAGA ladder by vilifying trans women in sports. Now, teammates are speaking out about the real problems on her team: abusive coaching, sexual harassment, eating disorders. ow.ly/o3wq50XuCzp

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

I get that part of the media cycle is for deep thinkers to come up with global Takes on what the Nuzzi outrage means for our culture, but...like, the main thing to me seems to be that she helped whitewash a genocidal eugenicist? who is killing people? right now?

They’re gonna invade Venezuela without doing *any* Iraq style manufacturing consent ground work, most Americans will not know that it happened at all, the democrats will sweep the house regardless and they’ll slow walk ending the conflict because, as long as we’re already there, we DO need some oil.

When genAI is used, on however small a part of the project, it is absolute proof that the person is willing to slather hot dogshit on the parts of the project they give the least fucks about.

They already did, you can see right there where they did it. It stands out for being so fucking sloppy.

It costs next to nothing to wear a mask

It’s one of the best investments you can make in your long term health

Covid is still here & still disabling

It only takes one infection to change your life forever

Masks, especially N95s, are great protection!

If you can’t afford one try a mask block:

Even if you were recently vaxed it doesn’t prevent long covid. It might offer a 15% reduction in the likelihood of long covid. That’s something but it’s not huge. I was at peak immunity (& extremely fit) and still got LC

Also: what someone is eating or not eating isn’t any of your business.
Holiday reminders:

- If someone has a new relationship, they’ll tell you. You don’t need to ask.
- If someone is pregnant and they want to share that, they’ll tell you. You don’t need to ask.
- If someone’s body has changed, they’re aware. You don’t need to point it out.

It’s my birthday, but it’s also unfortunately the third anniversary of the day I got the Covid infection that disabled me. This year has been the hardest with the disease. I encourage you to be careful this holiday season, wear a mask and test, do not get or give Covid to anyone.

i am willing to compromise by just insisting on prison terms for ICE employees. that is the moderate position.
if there's a reason to keep up the "tribunals for all involved" discourse one such reason it is to put in stark relief how far away some of the Dem politicking is from the mood on the ground
eric swalwell said on msnow that a major goal of a dem majority after the midterms would be for ice masks to come off and badges to come out, this is insufficient

And yes, vaccines help…lessen the severity if and when you do catch them. They aren’t sterilizing.

That doesn’t mean they’re unimportant. It just means they should not be your only layer of protection—and certainly not your family’s.

Mask up in the germ tubes and the places they stop.
We always see a surge of infectious disease, including COVID, RSV, etc etc around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Unless you want to gift your fam with a few weeks sick this year, mask up as you travel!
