I highlighted the most important part of yesterday’s Nature paper.

We’re in year six.

Can you please stop saying “during the pandemic” and “post-Covid”?

You sound dangerously uninformed or just really stupid when you say it.

More than 100 years after its initial review that blamed Black men, the Dept. of Justice just released its report on the 1921 Tulsa race massacre

The report says the attack “was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence”

Just like the “male loneliness epidemic” the imbalance in men going to college is entirely their own doing. A whole generation has decided to make themselves uneducated and unfuckable because they’re addicted to resentment. Manosphere influencers line their pockets by ensuring they stay that way.
i hate to be a monocausal guy but i really think this discussion of masculinity, trade school, the gendering of education etc is beating around the bush. male democrats have seen no sizable drop in their desire to attend college. female republicans have. it’s about politics.

However hard your life is, remember that you have more dignity than the richest man to ever exist, who used a sock puppet to post this about himself.

Implicit in a lot of anti-vaccination and anti-public health narratives like those of RFK Jr is a deep disgust/fear of disability; but also an unspoken hope that unchecked disease will "cull" the population of "weaker/less fit" people.
I really just can't see past a lot of that.

Thinking of all the disabled folks having a lonely holiday season bc ppl couldn't be bothered with COVID precautions, the space wasn't accessible, funds are tight, you need the time off to recover, ppl are disappointed you're not who you used to be, invitations are simply no longer forthcoming, etc.

Joe Biden is the president.
Every Democratic lawmaker needs to be on television, radio, and social media hammering the shit out of Trump's embarrassing failure to get a continuing resolution passed with his cruel budget priorities. Make it hurt. Call out their incompetence. Show some goddamn fire.
