@briantylercohen.bsky.social - the article is about his mother disavowing this earlier email. Please, we mustn't sacrifice truth for victory. Civility, reason, logic, yes. But we cannot weaponize untruths.

Screenshot of the same NY Times article, with following paragraphs for added context, which read,

"
“On behalf of all the women (and I know it’s many) you have abused in some way, I say … get some help and take an honest look at yourself,” Penelope Hegseth wrote, stating that she still loved him.

She also wrote: “I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.”

Mrs. Hegseth, in a phone interview with The New York Times on Friday, said that she had sent her son an immediate follow-up email at the time apologizing for what she had written. She said she had fired off the original email “in anger, with emotion” at a time when he and his wife were going through a very difficult divorce.

In the interview, she defended her son and disavowed the sentiments she had expressed in the initial email about his character and treatment of women. “It is not true. It has never been true,” she said. She added: “I know my son. He is a good father, husband.” She said that publishing the contents of the first email was “disgusting.”

Legality is often not morality, especially when power is disproportionately distributed. However, force of morality is miniscule against force of law. We must work within the system, within the light. We must change the machine from within, where all can see. 4/7

#Disability accommodation: reposting with alt-text. Stock up on your masks, get your vaccinations, and buckle up.

Screenshot of Johnathan Reiner's tweet, saying, "If a new pandemic comes to the US next year, we'll have an NIH director who advocated for letting COVID burn through the US, an HHS Secretary who believes in raw milk but not vaccines, an FDA commissioner who said COVID would be over by April ,2021, and a CDC director who supported the debunked theory that vaccines cause autism."

#Disability accommodation: reposting with alt-text. This is what I'm afraid of.

Adding screenshot because of BlueSky post limits

Screenshot of _The Lancet_ article. Text is:

Methods

We compared efficacy of masks (cloth and surgical) and respirators (KN95 and N95) as source control for SARS-CoV-2 viral load in exhaled breath of volunteers with COVID-19 using a controlled human experimental study. Volunteers (N = 44, 43% female) provided paired unmasked and masked breath samples allowing computation of source-control factors.

Findings

All masks and respirators significantly reduced exhaled viral load, without fit tests or training. A duckbill N95 reduced exhaled viral load by 98% (95% CI: 97%–99%), and significantly outperformed a KN95 (p < 0.001) as well as cloth and surgical masks. Cloth masks outperformed a surgical mask (p = 0.027) and the tested KN95 (p = 0.014).

Interpretation

These results suggest that N95 respirators could be the standard of care in nursing homes and healthcare settings when respiratory viral infections are prevalent in the community and healthcare-associated transmission risk is elevated.

If it wasn't for the free square, I wouldn't have completed a five in a row. However, there is exactly only one square that I can fill in without completing a five in a row. This board is jacked.

Shigesato Itoi on the long-running success of the Hobonichi Techo: "The creator's pleasure is important"
www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZ...

Q: What is more important than predicting future consumer needs?

"As a creator, I have to be true to what I want to protect and what I want to do, and I have to be true to myself."

"I think that if you don't respect your customers while also respecting your own sensibilities, you won't be able to create a product that you can be proud of."

"Whether or not there is pleasure in it is actually extremely important. Pleasure means feeling good."
