No judgements here 🫑 we almost never ordered dessert out when I was growing up so I will say that sometimes getting dessert at a restaurant feels life changing lol

Eh I wasn’t watching and I think it’s stupid to fight with your teammate about something so trivial, but Cal could’ve given him a fist bump at the least

The official statement from Grammarly is so typical of AI boosters/tech companies of late. β€˜Sure, we’re resurrecting the dead to exploit them for a few dollars and the β€˜experts’ have no idea we’re using their names and reputations, but we hoped to make more money before anyone really noticed’

I do not trust that they can be both stylish and comfortable. Plus flats are actually worse for my feet anyway so I guess we’re going barefoot tn at some point lol

I need either that or somebody to bring me flats in Rittenhouse Square

Mr. Dumper just can’t balance a handshake and all that ass at the same time. You want a delay to sit him back up?? I didn’t think so.

Not shaming just surprised. Much less surprised about the Swedish curlers.

A fantastic book about immigration and public health specifically is Silent Travelers by Alan Kraut πŸ‘

Oh I 10000000% agree. It’s just that punitive measures make the problem worse. Incarcerating Mary Mallon didn’t stop typhoid fever, but it did amplify already prevalent xenophobia intertwined with public health.

The Mann Act is still on the books today, and it should be, but it doesn’t change the history of its abuse against marginalized people.

Another example of a well intentioned law but often flawed execution is the Mann Act of 1910. Meant to combat human sex trafficking of primarily immigrant girls, a lot of men of color were arrested under the same law for having a consensual relationship with a white woman.

And I’m not saying that public health measures should be strictly informative or educational. There’s still a duty to protect others, but criminalizing disease transmission will arbitrarily target folks who are already vulnerable. It’s literally eugenics. This is eugenic thinking.
