Boring middle-aged guy with no strong feelings about Taylor Swift. Likes: tabletop gaming, fantasy football, horror of all kinds. Dislikes: Fascists, science deniers, and people who talk at the theater.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

UNREAL: Per NY Times amazing reporting today they found "Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion. We know this number to be an underestimate because some of his profits remain hidden from public view." We live in a 3rd world sh*thole! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Opinion | How Trump Has Used the Presidency to Make at Least $1.4 Billion
The president took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he’s focused his second term on enriching himself and his family.

Men, we have to step up and put a stop to this. It has to come from us. It's not enough to teach our sons that this is not acceptable -- we have to be proactive in setting a better example for the next generation, but we also have to reactively shut this down if ever we see it.

I feel like porting this Google tip over here because I find it beyond essential now
if you don’t like the AI answers that pop up when you search things on Google, just add “-ai” at the end of your search and they won’t appear 💗 enjoy

Oregon, which has one of the highest vaccine exemption rates for school children, is having its worst measles outbreak in >30 years…entirely in the unvaccinated. Antivaxxers don’t care about children; they’re selfish, ignorant adults forcing children to get preventable, potentially deadly, diseases

Not just Virginia, this is a country wide effort to disenfranchise millions of likely Dem voters. Why they aren't screaming from the roof tops to CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION STATUS !!!! Is beyond me🙄

The overturning of Roe v Wade is the most successful terrorist movement in the USA in my lifetime. Firebombings, assassinations, harassment and death threats, coupled with rigid party discipline, have brought about a prohibition more horrible than the 18th Amendment.

Isn't it interesting that every killing by every cop is just a single bad apple that should never be thought to spoil the bunch, while every protest by and on behalf of marginalized people must be flawlessly perfect, or all participants deserve the brutality the police exist to deliver to them?

Last night Gov. Youngkin went on a veto spree and vetoed a ton of sensible gun control policies. Youngkin is apparently just fine with: -Buying guns after you've been convicted of assault or stalking -Buying guns after you've been convicted of domestic violence

Hello BlueSky. As a public service, given how many, many things have been forgotten, this account will attempt to remind everyone of the daily madness that was 2020.

There has never been a halftime show worth killing all momentum by pausing the game for 45+ minutes. This is the hill I will die on.

In clinical trials of new treatments, when the treatment is clearly and obviously immediately effective it is sometimes considered unethical to continue to withhold it from the control group. Pretty sure we passed that milestone about a decade ago with basic income experiments.
