I was diagnosed with MS 12 years ago after an attack of full body neuropathy. I’ve been really lucky that I haven’t had any subsequent attacks. Still, the possibility always hangs over me, and the possibility of taking that stress from others was joyous to me. This is so awful.
Moderna has 2 trials for EBV vaccines in Phase 1/2 and Phase 2. EBV is now widely believed to be a causative agent for Multiple Sclerosis. Just under 3 million people in the world, about 1 million in the US have MS.

There needs to be some serious accountability for the colossal harm to life these absolute demons have caused, and will cause. Life in prison is the moderate option.

Disabled people are part of the future.
We must and should imagine and dream of futures where disabled people don't just exist but are everywhere, as we should be.
This need to fix/cure all disability is a eugenicist dreaming, and we should want better for ourselves.

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

I went to work for a day and we just decided climate change is a hoax and we don’t need any environmental protection from emissions?

Heraskevych’s choice to forfeit the medal chance instead of give up the memorial helmet is the biggest story in Ukraine today. Everyone is heartbroken but there is a unanimous consensus that this was what had to happen rather than to give up.

One thing I think the Writers Guild really got right in our last negotiation was asking "Even if the tech doesn't work, how could they use it to pay us less?"
10 years ago they told us AI and self-driving cars were going to wipe out up to half of all jobs. They didn’t.
But while everyone was talking about whether they would, companies rolled out algorithmic management and used digital tech as a pretext to reclassify workers as contractors.

I'm not even saying that's the most *likely* possibility, but it's just very clear that the likelihood of that outcome as increased and even if there's, like, a 1 in 10 change that "AI replaces most to all white collar jobs in 10 years" that's an *enormous* risk to the social order!

oh so just dumb luck these idiots didn’t shoot down a passenger aircraft
According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

Elon Musk is coming to Florida to build tunnels for one of his silly transportation systems.
In Florida.
And Universal is going to pay him to do this.
And this city is going to ALLOW them to do this, under and around one of its major thoroughfares.
I feel insane.

But seriously, folks, the real story is that this administration first swore this was an attack from a Mexican cartel. They will say literally anything and aren't experiencing consequences dire enough to make them stop.
