Civilization would collapse if people communicated with each other in real life the way they communicate online. The disgusting vitriol that's now run-of-the-mill online discourse from the safe anonymity of a screen would tear society apart if it were the way people talked to each other offline.

High school friend of Alex Pretti:
"He was a singer, a dancer. He was a very funny individual, and he was a role model... He was one of those effortless leaders, through his kindness and his generosity. He was the best of us."

I feel for the journalists at WaPo, CBS, and other outlets getting vacuumed up by oligarchs, but how could they not see it coming before the ink was even dry? Denial? There was never going to be another outcome.
I'm seeing Washington Post reporters post desperately today about the great investigative reporting they do, how valuable it is, etc., thereby implying this is why the paper shouldn't be carved up and killed.
Of course, in doing so, they're demonstrating why the paper must be carved up and killed.

let the dam in your heart shatter, and the pain that floods forth compel you to action
Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.
Excellent article!

This. Starve the beast.
This is why people need to STOP watching this shit. Stop feeding the beast. There are better sources of news and information than these corporate-controlled infotainment travesties, which are fundamentally nothing but vehicles for advertising.

Science is still learning how COVID-19 works. Keep an eye on it for the sake of folks who've been disabled long term by this awful disease.
Another 🚨🧵 by Zdenek Vrozina, this time about "innate immunity (pDC + NK cells)"
"The outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infection seems to depend more on the quality of early innate immunity (pDC + NK cells) than on the strength of the antibody response..."

Hunkering down for the storm with a weekend menu of comfort food. Potato leek soup, beef stew with red wine, cookies. Grateful to be home safe and sound with a warm sweater, a fireplace, and a snoozing dog.❄️

Seeing clips of Republicans spinning on the Sunday shows has always been jarring but it really has gone to the next level. Not even sure who they think their audience is at this point. Just frantic, preposterous lies. If you have the slightest connection to reality, it's all so obvious.🫠

Yesterday we learned that a racist Trump supporter assaulted a nonwhite Democratic congressman.
And it’s not even a big story.
Meanwhile, Republicans drone on about ‘left-wing political violence’.
