At least once a day, I gotta laugh like Denzel at the end of Training Day to keep from screaming.

You know beautiful this was one of the hardest things I had to break but once I realized all my work was going unnoticed and without any gratitude I quickly pulled my energy back. I treat myself AMAZING lmao and if u in proximity to me I might treat u like I treat me! I learned from my father!
People don't understand how much it physically hurts when you go from talking to someone everyday to not speaking to them at all. why are you distancing yourself from me and I'll get in my head because I think I've done something wrong. whole time, I'm thinking I'm crazy or jealous for what I feel.

One thing to keep in mind: We don't know how many hospitalizations and cases of encephalitis there are because South Carolina doesn't require those to be reported, only measles cases. The state *knows* about 19 hospitalizations (out of 876 total cases) but that could be higher.
NEW: Children are developing encephalitis as the South Carolina measles outbreak continues. @emilymullin.bsky.social has more:
Measles Is Causing Brain Swelling in Children in South Carolina
In the ongoing measles outbreak in South Carolina that has infected more than 800 people, some children have developed a rare but serious complication called encephalitis.

I'll always be forever greatful to my AP English teacher for telling me that Shakespeare was spitting hot fire like never seen or heard before (and after tbh). Bc getting through Hamlet was like, waitamin, what? lol Iambic Pentameter goes harder than a mfer when you hear it as opposed to reading it.

Shakespearean text is one of the rare texts that actually is easier to comprehend if you hear it (performed well) than if you read it (if you're not skilled in close reading)
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

We need a Thanos snap for these creeps.
Yale prof David Gelernter defends his letter urging Epstein to hire "v small goodlooking blonde" student by saying that he was "keep[ing] the potential boss's habits in mind."
This creep shouldn't be allowed anywhere near students.

They hate women and hate pleasing women (see orgasm gap) and they will fight for their right to avoid pleasing women as seen by multiple conversations across multiple platforms. (Yes, i am a man. No i don't hate valentines day so i wasn't offended by the question. Don't holler if you ain't hit.)
I have a genuine question.
Why do men hate Valentine’s Day?

What do I keep saying? Your power comes from getting real fucking comfortable with being a pain in the ass.
My actual job description is activist and here’s what I tell people in despair all the time: do not underestimate how much harm you can prevent by being just a little bit annoying.
This is one reason I keep trying to remind people of the power that we have. That we have *always* had. Not because I’m in denial, but because I know history. I’m no sophisticated intellectual, but I do know we’re going to win even though the bad shit is really terrible right now.
