pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

“Just go to a food bank, a church or a charity”

For every meal the food bank provides, the SNAP program provides 9.

Even if donations are rapidly scaled up, they won’t be able to meet the needs of 42 million Americans who are about to go hungry.

It’s not sustainable.

Hurricane Melissa has just hit a new peak intensity of 145 MPH, sitting just 115 miles SSW of Kingston. The NHC forecasts it intensifying to Cat 5 status. When it hits Jamaica on Tuesday it could cause long-term damage to basic infrastructure.

Stop telling disabled people to “just stay home” because you don’t want to take Covid precautions

Stop telling us to take more precautions because you’ve decided you’re not at risk

Everyone’s at risk

It’s an airborne virus. We all share the air

If everyone made an effort we would all be safer

Not great. "[This] comes about a month after multiple residents complained that Halifax Mayor Andy Fillmore made misleading statements about the role of a chief administrative officer. Resident Peter Linfield was one of the people who sent in a complaint, something he now would not be able to do."

It was labelled “wasteful DEI spending” and canceled.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Portland isn’t “war ravaged”.

Chicago doesn’t need “saving”.

Tylenol doesn’t cause autism.

People still care about the Epstein files.

Escalators breaking down is not news worthy or an emergency.

Medbeds are not the answer.

Keep resisting fascism. Ignore the distractions. Fight back.
