CVF are proud supporters of the other important event at the UN today highlighting the need for "Clean Indoor Air".

It is of vital importance to *everyone*, but especially for Clinically Vulnerable people.

Thank you @drbronking.bsky.social

I agree with this so much. Every time people get all critical about the social function of shame (and even the legitimate self-critical, reflexive, not-meeting-my-own-standards function of shame) I wonder what exactly they have in mind to better serve that function. What else is moral condemnation?

At this point I have seen so many people with medical tragedies that at long last boil down to either "mis-dosed drug" or "drug side effect" or "drug interaction" that it's now the first thing I ask about when discussing health issues. "Do you by any chance have some medication you take regularly?"

I'm very very very slightly torn on this. I mean obviously the whole tylenol prenancy autism thing is just another "punish women for everything" piece of right wing garbage. But also tylenol is incredibly dangerous and causes acute liver failure and death at astonishing rates nobody talks about.

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended.

It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

A producer told me once she has to warn young crewmembers to avoid being alone with Aykroyd. "Not because he's a creep, he's a gentleman. But if you let him strike up a conversation the next thing we know all the PAs will be huddled in his dressing room learning how humans evolved from dolphins."
I love Dan Aykroyd because he has very clearly entered the stage in his life where he is going to make sure everyone knows about his special interests and he has the profile and resources to do it in a high profile manner. You are GOING to hear about rocks, dinosaurs, vodka, and ghosts dammit.

The most enduring American values are moral obtuseness & rage. In 1970, a majority of Americans polled thought students were to blame for Kent State Massacre; most opposed simple traffic blockades to protest Vietnam and would consider assaulting activists & resorting to firearms

Canada's true crisis is the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in an impossible economy.

I’m running for NDP leader so we can transform a system rigged for the rich—together.

We need a government that serves the many, not the money.

First thing Dade does in Hackers? Push a white suprematist TV infomercial (literally called "America First") off the air.
