My doctor's office didn't offer paxlovid or even tell me to get it. But it's INCREDIBLY easy to access. Send this link to folks in MA who might need it. Free telehealth appointment, free Rx. Took me about ten minutes. mass.gov/info-details/free-t…
A lot of my attempts to live closer to my values center on this question: "Am I contributing to harm?" I can't stop most kinds of harm by myself. But I can try not to contribute.

Ugh, so the Musk deal is actually happening, huh? Well. Start dropping those Discord/Mastodon/Whatever links!
Further (and hopefully final) thoughts on yesterday's Matthew Perry thing. Addiction is a disease. Being an asshole is not. Addiction intensifies assholiness, but having your addiction in remission doesn't cure you of being an asshole. They're ultimately separate problems.

Saw Better Off Dead on a first date, which was actually pretty awesome.

Burn in Hell is trending, which is a good excuse to remind you that this Dimmu Borgir cover of the Twisted Sister song kicks all kinds of ass youtu.be/DsXPaTkRyqI

Shoutout to the Commonweath of Massachusetts. Got a free telehealth appointment instantly and a free paxlovid Rx is on the way to my pharmacy. Shockingly easy!
Well, I held out for 30 months, but I finally got covid. Vaxxed, boosted, bivalent boosted. Feels like I have a bad cold/mild flu, which is a good deal but still not tons of fun.

I'm about to argue that WETV's Love After Lockup franchise is not just trashy entertainment (though it is definitely that), but also actually important. Follow along!

The upsurge in antisemitism is a last-ditch effort to save laissez-faire capitalism. People are, as a rule, dumb, but they understand very well that they're being screwed over left and right. Enter the stereotype: Jews have a lot of money! Goldman-Sachs! Steven Spielberg!1/2
