A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

This is particularly amusing to read after learning Japanese culture is to never admit that you're anything of importance in any art lest you get hit by karma for not being humble enough.
Proposition: You become a writer the moment you write, a musician the moment you make music, a painter the moment you paint, etc. You become an artist the moment you find your own voice as a writer/musician/painter/etc.

Yes? No?

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks.

On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.

I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is.

This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

Trump’s militarization of Los Angeles seems to have been just the start of an authoritarian takeover of American cities.

This is not leadership. This is a scary, unlawful grab for power, and we should all be deeply concerned.

If you have no light, then what you have is dark. That's pretty simple and obvious, right?

But if you have a light—even a little bit of light—what you have is something unignorable. More, you have a point of reference, and a point of distinction.

Dark isn't the opposite of light, it's the absence of light.

I know we don't feel like there's much to celebrate this July 4th. It's been a rough several years.

So I want to talk about how we're making history right now.

This essay by the amazing @juliusgoat.bsky.social so eloquently captured my feeling on this. Rules are great, but they only work if everyone agrees to play the game. We're not playing the game anymore and haven't been for a long time, so of course we got screwed over when we played by the rules.
The Rules
What is a game without rules? What are rules, if we've stopped playing the game?
