If you want some backstory as to TN and lethal injection. I wrote at length in 2018 as TN sought to restart executions using a new protocol — a method it has since replaced. It’s not an exaggeration to say that when it comes to lethal injection, states have always been making it up as they go along.

Chilling Testimony in a Tennessee Trial Exposes Lethal Injection as Court-Sanctioned Torture
The trial was a case study in the twisted legacy of Glossip v. Gross — and a chilling look at the botched executions that continue amid little controversy.

What a great PSA for *not* using Gen AI for your health information: “If somebody tells you, ‘Masks work, trust the experts,’ A.I. may tell you otherwise… if somebody tells you that a vaccine will prevent transmission and infection… A.I. may say it actually doesn’t do that.”

my position is that everyone should be calm, but that the polls are clearly drunk, but also that theyre so drunk that even if they get 50% less drunk between now and election day, there will be reason for people not to be calm. but people should be calm.

On Tuesday, GOP senator Jon Husted said it was time to end Trump’s illegal war. But two days later, Husted voted against a resolution to end Trump’s illegal war. His spinelessness in service of a wannabe king is one of the many reasons why Husted is about to lose his job in November.

One potential workaround, if pharmacists can't vax young children in your state and your pediatrician doesn't have it, is to go to a CVS MinuteClinic if you have one nearby. Because MinuteClinics aren't staffed by pharmacists (even though they're in pharmacies), they can vax 18 months+ in all states
