this headline, and much of the reporting, is the result of believing that the key to good journalism is never taking a position
NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

Four minutes added on erases any good will. That is only a number a lunatic arrives at.
Genuinely think Anthony Taylor did about as well as you can ask a referee to do with a game like that. Very physical game & almost no calm, settled possession
And he'll be under massive pressure every time Zubi, Hincapie, Cala or Mosquera put in any challenge now.
Going to be very hard to navigate.

I feel comfortable and secure in my belief that democratic leadership should not be pulling their slogans from venture capitalists. That this, at minimum, is a significant indictment of who they are listening and talking to. It’s not that complicated.

Headlines like this are extremely dangerous. Because moms of young kids are the people who make the bulk of the vaccine decisions for famillies. And for a lot of them, "reading the news" looks like scrolling past headlines on social media in the spare moments of the chaos of caring for kids.

Have tried to watch TV again with this show and this episode’s cliff hanger reminded me why I don’t like TV.
Just seems like TV writers are more obsessed with getting you to tune in next week than they are actually telling the story.

JD Vance's ideal America is a place with half the GDP where everyone with potential and options gets the fuck out, a shithole that people from countries with actual dynamism visit to watch chintzy 'traditional' dances before going home.

When even the good journalists are saying, ‘listen is this such a big deal really?’ you know the profession is fucked beyond any repair.

Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

I do feel self conscious about wearing women’s clothing and I’m bi! Wish I weren’t, but also don’t even really know where to start I just want to incorporate lace into my wardrobe.
One of the fun parts of being a gay man who is comfortable in his identity is not caring about whether or not a drink, garment, or gesture makes me look gay.

So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.
