Trying to stay sane. Science, politics, healthcare, philosophy, social justice. He/him or they/them.
And to be clear this time last year, I'd have had a total mental breakdown. Fuck. It's been a year.

For the record, Democratic Socialists are as far left as any Democratic politician gets, and they don't in any way dictate the party's platform. Dem Socs are not "far left". If you think they are, you've never talked to an actual leftist.

I've been hearing that some of the other flu antivirals have been more effective as of late anyway. Are those being widely prescribed, or are we still stuck on oseltanivir?

The wealthy and powerful asking people to be patient is hilarious.

I used to point out how limited a POTUS'S power over the economy really was, but I never considered how easy it could be for one to destroy the economy single handedly.

Mind you, she spent a LOT of money on her appearance in general, so whatever, she also did lip fillers, extensions, and I don't even know what else. But hey, I guess whatever makes people happy? I dunno. I can't talk, people still think I'm in my mid 30s and I'm a guy so, not the same pressures

I had a coworker in her MID 20s who was getting botox already. I keep my opinions to myself, of course, but I remember that, for a week, she looked perpetually surprised. It was a little weird, and all to prevent crows lines and forehead wrinkles she didn't even have yet.

The law doesn't take effect until January 1st so... 🤷‍♂️

We will see how this goes. I don't see much hope that the state and local leos will try to enforce it.
