We rescued a 6w old kitten 2w ago, she walked out of the woods after we trapped her mom to get her spayed. Candy was sick within days. Through the week, we went to urgent care, our reg vet, and finally the ER. She was too sick to be saved. 1/

“Debate Me” culture is not organic, endemic, or apolitical. This mode of high jacking discourse is and has been central to a 30-year conservative training program that has produced untold numbers of people to do this for every reason but “civil discourse”
It's wild to me how ostensibly smart people cannot/could not/will not see what is so obvious.
@mmasnick.bsky.social nails it. And my hunch is we'd be a better society if the Very Serious People with the Very Serious Ideas opened their fucking eyes.

Sad that I think international participants & attendees would be at higher risk than those who went to the 1936 Olympics, but I never looked into it. Did Germany refuse entry, detain & deport people who were going to the Olympics?
