In the return of my FathersWhoBother podcast I speak to my brother Datwon Thomas (VIBE/KING/XXL) a year to the day after he suffered an Aortic Dissection that almost took his life. In our talk he shares how his wife and 3 daughters used music to nurse him back to health : youtu.be/R5Crdc9cbwE?...

the reason we don't have anything at all in this country, is because these insufferable people have spent 250 years worrying about the 100 people who might take advantage of a program that 300,000,000 people actually need.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

For the past six weeks, an AI Facebook account has been pulling my history posts on Instagram and slopping out new captions, so I’ve been feeding it poison pills and its followers are having meltdowns in the comments. It’s been pretty spectacular.

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
