In 2021, Jack Ciattarelli said as governor he would not oppose vaccine mandates set by private businesses:

“I’m not going to tell employers they can’t do that. It’s the antithesis of conservatism.”

Right-wing ideology has no place in science. Its entire function is to destroy science.

It’s not “academic bigotry,” it’s a lesson that we should have already learned but are now learning in real time.

Right-wing political operative Bhattacharya is one of our key instructors.

Remember when the same folks who support masked secret police kidnapping people off the street for their skin color decried mask mandates by private property owners as tyranny?

Also at that first recommendation there should be mandates for all health care workers including in nursing care homes.

being nostalgic for everything is a trap BUT the disintegration of physical media has been a net negative and i don't think there's any arguing that. streaming is corporate consolidation in action and means more art is less available/up to the mandates of executives
Someone doesn’t remember how badly going to a video store sucked, and just generally how much worse things were in the 90s-2000s. Oh, it doesn’t work perfectly? Sometimes they just didn’t have the thing you wanted. We live in an era of unprecedented media abundance and it’s has spoiled us rotten.
I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

For the record: the styleguide mandates "pled" as the past tense of "plead".
I was taught "pled"

Apparently non-US countries use "pleaded"

I (unsurprisingly) prefer the American version

Honest question: what is the correct past tense of “to plead”? I hear it as “pleaded” but also “plead”, rhyming with “dead”.

It’s great to see misguided mandates on public transit emissions go from a policy wonk topic, to getting real attention.

$$$ goes further getting more people on transit than switching to costly and unreliable battery-only buses.

Muni wants exemption from CA pollution rules. It's a no-brainer.
SFMTA plans to beg relief from the state's zero-emissions mandate. It’d be crazy not to ask. It’d be crazier for the state to say no.

Idaho just passed a law to remove all vaccine mandates. The author wants other states to follow suit. It means you cannot keep unvaccinated children out of schools and daycares even with confirmed diagnoses.

It’s terrifying
Also most schools and daycare still require vaccines. I know a woman who can't work because her husband won't let her vaccinate their kids and she cant put them in daycare and will be homeschooling

I bang this drum every so often - but tying density mandates to transit services means *to kill density, you just have to kill transit*

This is why AI tool mandates never work: even if AI worked, which it doesn't, execs are committing a category error by trying to solve productivity (a function of the social system that makes up a company) with tools for enhancing individual throughput (a technological solution).

The dismantling of the Department of Education and Special Education mandates will have severe ramifications for America’s future! “He” builds concrete patios over rose gardens and tears away the side walls of a storied building for a ballroom rather than fund tomorrow’s future!

knight who comes to the princess to complain that the new royal directive to remove their helmets at all times in presence of the princess is unsafe and demeaning

princess of course takes away her armor and mandates her to wear the most skimpy outfit she can find, only really wearing her scabbard

Absolutely incandescent with rage when I remember how Biden tried to use OSHA to institute mask *and* vaccine mandates across major industries around the US only to be thwarted by SCOTUS.

And now I have to hear "airborne AIDS" whackjobs claim Biden actually was just pro-eugenics.

I'm so *tired*.
