When I coined “vice signaling” as a term it was after a Fancypants journalist accused me of “virtue signaling” by caring about things like disabled people and non-white people being subjected to the death penalty. And about IQ having a specifically racist history.
For a long time, that was THEE affect that signaled you were a Real Journalist: being savvy and smart enough to know that people with principles were quaint, pitiable little curiosities. And if those people happen to be women, well then they're also just downright childish.
i’ll add that what substantively seems to annoy silver is the existence of people with principles

The thing about measles is that it’s the only known virus that triggers immune amnesia - it causes your immune system to forget everything it has previously learned. Meaning you essentially reset to zero and are now at risk of basically everything.

It can take 2-3 years to get immunities back.

A mass shooting has occurred at Brown University.

Students received a text message reminding them to “run, hide or fight”.

This is America.

Remember this when Erika Kirk cried crocodile tears on her CBS Town Hall.

Remember Charlie saying children dying was an “acceptable price to pay”

Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.

Heartbroken for everyone at Brown. I don’t know why but I keep thinking about the college students I know who are stressed about finals or making happy plans for winter break and it’s gutting to think about what students on that campus are experiencing right now.

Makes me sick thinking of how many students dealt with shootings or threats of shootings during their K-12 educations and are now enduring the same horror on college campuses.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

The right is doing its best to normalize racism and we can’t keep responding with “oh that’s clickbait” while actual people are being targeted by the state and leading institutions.
This is an important tweet. Many conservatives *knowingly* live in a post-truth bubble whose membrane is moral relativism. Here, some lies are “fair game” to treat as true as long as they support their views
