I'm a thousand miles away, and this still makes me never want to leave the pavement.

And somehow we manage to talk about eyeglasses as disability aids without describing folks as "eyeglasses-bound".

Terrific advocate for public health and good government!

Okay, but this guy an easy alternative.

But it's only triple the length of the Panama Canal, so it should be easy.

From @Threads kevinrkirk Why are we bothering with the Strait of Hormuz when we could simply do this? Explain it to me like I'm 5.

Exciting news!

Red flags don’t come any brighter, yet Colin claims he never saw any. When Colt faces his jury, charged as an adult, his defense will surely include his difficult childhood and his father’s conviction. Colin Gray deserves to be held accountable for something, perhaps a misdemeanor or a much lighter penalty. He was not — I repeat, not — the perpetrator of this shooting. Barring a successful appeal in his case, parents — good or bad — may someday face punishment for the crimes of their children. At a time when Americans are being urged to have children to counter the declining birth rate, this case isn’t helpful.

The kicker is particularly unhinged. Is the US birth rate falling because of job insecurity and high costs of housing, childcare, education? Maybe we can fix that by not holding parents accountable for letting their offspring have access to weapons of mass murder.

This was very much expected

Decades of consequences ahead for this failure of public health.

Classic Chotiner interview, in that Landsman thinks it went great for him and is wondering why his family looks sad and is wearing black and there are all those casserole dishes in the kitchen

I wonder if Gavin Newsom, Pete Buttigieg, etc. will continue messaging to sell out trans folks after these results.

What a heartbreak.
