This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for friends who still take rapid tests for me before we eat together. It's the small things - that are actually big things & go a long way! 💞

"The people holding up the internet" A good-looking but somewhat depressing exposé about the people holding up current digital infrastructure as a hobby. sheets.works/data-viz/holding-up-th…

The people holding up the internet

Four billion phones ask one text file what time it is. One lecturer keeps it in his spare time. We counted the rest.

This is why I own a Chevy Bolt and an F-150 Lightning. None of this touchscreen bullshit. Both of them have all of the basic physical controls reasonable people want: door handles, AC controls, dials for the radio, dashboards studded with buttons. I won’t buy these stupid vehicles you have to […]

I'm really sad y'all. I did not go into trans journalism to make "Dem capitulates on trans rights" my daily beat. It was a much better environment when I could count on everyone in our party, even the red state dems, to present a wall on this stuff. It just feels so bleak.

It’s simply unimaginable that CDC Director Dr. Erica Schwartz has just bowed to RFK Jr. and approved funding for an utterly unethical clinical trial that will withhold the birth dose of HepB vaccine in Guinea Bissau. It is to be conducted by researchers accused of academic misconduct.

Also I tried one of those long wands that go on your garden hose and try to blast the leaves out with water pressure. It was 100% shit and didn't work At All. Suck 'em out instead.

I effing despise RFK Jr. I had a cancer caused by HPV that had a massive impact on my life. I would have loved to have a vaccine that could have prevented all of that and whatnot. Yet that fool has claimed that HPV vaccines themselves cause cancer and he’s making bank on that lie and others.
