Wow, I have never had such an extreme rage-filled reaction to such a harmless and enjoyable post... and I'm not even sure I disagree, but still... instant rage. Solution? Therapy or roll up a barbarian...
Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns.
Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.
I quit the former Twitter two years ago this week, and I am here to tell you that my online life got a lot better for having left it. In two years I've not been tempted to go back, and I haven't felt any penalty in either career or community for not being there. It's nice to be here and not there.

So... Pedro Pascal, huh? Remember 10 years ago when it was Idris Elba?
Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading.
Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.
Just. Keep. Reading.
We get it, you were right.
We’re in the business of keeping independent bookstores in business 🤍📚

I think you are probably right, because I tend to have the same perspective of the results of those policies. In the absence of doing that digging for ourselves, I don't want us to give in to the temptation of correlating historical data with how we remember the past. That way lies MAGA...
I am proposing the hypothesis that anytime a science fiction character (including a narrator) paraphrases Isaac Asimov's observation about a technology sufficiently advanced, well then, we the readers are in for some lazy writing, at least when it's a core part of the world building.
I love your perspective, and I don't want to discourage you from sharing it, because it is unique and vital. However I wish this graph of party dominance correlated with any other data. And I think there must be a lot of other data to show why republican dominance does more damage than decency

In Mike Johnson's district, not only could thousands of Louisianians lose coverage, health centers are bracing for a financial hit. They're hoping for additional funding to make up for Medicaid cuts.
In case any of my friends are tempted to believe certain narratives, I live in the DC area and work in DC and there is no crime wave, and unhoused people pose no danger (though they could use our help).
It looks like we have some new friends, which means it’s time to reintroduce ourselves. 🥳
Hi! We’re Bookshop.org, an alternative to Amazon for buying books online where every single purchase financially supports independent bookstores.
Hi Friends,
Voting for the Emmys opens today.
The Failure, Fear, and Frenzy around Luigi Mangione is officially on the ballot. If it makes it to the next round of nominations, it’ll be the first time a full length stand up special released independently only on YouTube makes it this far.
If you choose your favorite bookstore to support with your purchase, 30% of that sale goes directly to your chosen bookstore. 💰
Don’t have a bookstore in mind? No worries! 10% of the sale goes to the profit-sharing pool that’s distributed to every store on our site.
Since we have so many new friends here (hiiiiii 👋🏽), it feels like a good time to remind you of how Bookshop.org works!
We’re a ✨better✨ way to buy books online where every purchase financially supports independent bookstores. Awesome, right? Here’s how:
I love my deep connections, and I love the friends I am making now, and it's not coeval, but I think it helps to explain that the process changes over time.
