Unsolicited writing advice, no. 118:
Don't just write what you know. But make sure you know what you're writing about. That means due diligence; research; talking to people with specialist expertise or experience. And it means never stop learning; exploring; questioning; listening; being curious.

There is no fetal tissue in the MMR vaccine. Kennedy is a habitual and malicious liar who is going to kill thousands of people with this bullshit.
Kennedy is conflating the use of cell lines from the 1960s to grow virus that is then purified and processed for vaccine development with injecting fetal tissue. It's an obscene, malicious, and willful distortion of reality meant to undermine essential vaccine uptake. He should be forced to resign.

It really takes a lot for me to say this, but the Graham tweet is genuinely a pretty offensive thing to say.
Despite seeing several people I totally trust say this was real I still felt I had to verify it with my own eyes. And having done so I still can't believe it's real.

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.
He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.
