I have a question.
Why is mental illness and lack of mental health an appropriate excuse for a mass shooter but not for an athlete to back out of a game or competition?

Me taking the Covid vaccine as early as I possibly could because it was the right thing to do and getting a sticker for it vs. everyone who refused now getting free cars and beers and millions of dollars to take it has some real high school group project energy

A reminder: the scientific accomplishments of serial sexual harassers do not make up for the grievous injury caused to science & young scientists over generations (even if this were a simple math argument which... WTF!). This 'genius myth' protects such folks in the first place.

I'm back from a week at my mom's house and now I'm getting ads for her toothpaste brand, the brand I've been putting in my mouth for a week. We never talked about this brand or googled it or anything like that.
As a privacy tech worker, let me explain why this is happening. 🧵

Nuestro socio @Baalzefon nos ha pasado este vídeo por los grupos de wasup, si, el mismo que rehuye del #rol.
El vídeo está bastante bien, y creo que tiene el druida una inspiración algún vídeo de @LeyPopuli
No dejéis de verlo, y de reíros, y de identificarse con alguna clase. – at Saragossa, Spain

India is in the throes of a horrendous COVID surge
Horrendous
They are struggling to get more people vaccinated
We are sitting on 35-40 million doses of Astra Zeneca vaccine Americans will never use
Can we please give or lend them to India? Like may be now?
It'll help. A lot

AMAZING how police consistently make the most “mistakes” when the person they’re dealing with is Black yet they manage to apprehend white mass shooters without killing them time & time again.

When men frame a murderer's actions in terms of him "having a bad day" I can't help but hear them telling the world that they themselves are one bad day away from murdering women, & demanding empathy & recognition for that fact.
