Let's end America the way it started: savage cannibalistic Puritan death cultists spewing their seed and dying at the hands of an untamed continent and calling it Satan

This holiday season - remember that Covid is a social justice issue. Mitigations cost money. Isolation requires privilege. Avoiding infection
requires resources that aren’t available to all.

Support your local mask bloc. Wear a mask. Push government to provide tests, masks & paid time off.

The Past isn't even real. It's just a Myth made up by Big Memory to sell more Nostalgia.

A more cynical read: they are obsessed with language because they would lose their veneer of "centrist/enlightened liberal" if they explicitly defended far-right policies, so they instead argue that merely resisting the right-wing framing and narrative around these issues is a bridge too far.

That's why I believe that the UHC CEO faked his own demise. It's impossible for him to have been shot because that would be murder and murder's illegal.

Yglesias is wrong in that article, you're wrong in your post, AND you're wrong in that screenshot ('ontologically' is the correct term to use here)

CDC infection control body rejects the science on airborne transmission HICPAC continues to stonewall efforts to evolve infection control guidance to match updated information about COVID and other common viruses.

Today's essential read for all HCWs, patients, and people who care about others.

"We deserve to enter a hospital knowing we won’t be infected and killed because officials would rather allow airborne nosocomial infections to continue on its watch than spend money preventing them."

This thread shows that #measurement is essentially a series of compromises. We want comparability across time but also want metrics to reflect changes in priorities. We want psychometric properties but also input from stakeholders. We want translatability but also local validity. Can’t have it all

Improving indoor air quality would improve everyone’s quality of life on top of making it safer for high risk people to be indoors—it is expensive but possible, and it’s something that can be implemented both independently and through legislation

We need a starter pack for all philosophers who are not members of starter packs.

Wrong! In 4 years the democrats will accuse him of hypocrisy for failing to implement them and then they'll run a presidential candidate who pledges to *really* implement a universal 40% tariff, in the interest of bipartisanship.

Does philosophy of spacetime count as philosophy of time for starter pack purposes?
