Anyone who includes "Sleigh Ride" on their Christmas playlist deserves to be boiled in their own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through their hearts.

I encourage anyone and everyone to read this article on the early mishandling of the COVID pandemic
The ppl who brought you the Great Barrington Decision and are responsible for hundreds of thousands of excess deaths are now in charge of our health institutions. Refresher on what that looks like.

Quick question for people who've received the COVID vaccine and gotten COVID: which was worse for you in terms of symptoms?
Asking out of simple curiosity, having gotten my booster shot and expecting 12-24 more hours of feverishness, yet counting myself blessed to have it.

My hospital's EMR requires double verification for all med orders for patients under 18 yo
So, when you have to double verify every childbirth order for a teen mom, you quickly realize two things:
1) safety systems like this are often frustrating
2) Mississippi has a HUGE teen pregnancy problem

This is a real tweet from vice president-elect JD Vance depicting himself as Trump’s wife.

Social media is in desperate need of innovation. Meta is only letting you have a slice of control over what you see because Bluesky is here building for you.
We wrote on Saturday about how Meta is going all-out to meet the threat of Bluesky: wapo.st/3OrYxBj
Today they took another step— finally allowing users to set their default feeds to a chronological “following” feed.

Just a garbage-tier creature.
I graduated highschool with a class of 15. Our whole school had an enrollment of about 180.
When one student there died in a wreck a few years ago, the whole school mourned.
I can't even imagine willingly sentencing six of those kids to suffocate to death for money.

Just a reminder that in 2020, Dr. Oz suggested that opening schools during COVID would "only cost us 2-3% in terms of total mortality," and that "any life is a life lost but... that might be a tradeoff some folks would consider."

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

Just finished The Hobbit again. It's easy to forget how mature the book is between reads and when still in the first two or three chapters, but it's some seriously good stuff.
Among other things, Bilbo and Thorin quietly have two of the best character arcs in literature.

The SecDef nominee thinks sex with an unconscious woman is not rape.
Maybe he’s friends with Pelicot, the guy in France who brought dozens of men into his house to rape his unconscious wife after he had drugged her. Just the guy we want in power, right?

While he was a student at Princeton in 2002, Hegseth was the publisher of the Princeton Tory, a right-wing student newspaper. In the September 2002 edition of the publication, flagged for Popular Information by Will Davis of Arc Initiatives, Hegseth published a column that claimed having intercourse with an unconscious woman was not rape. The columnist claimed that rape required both the failure to consent and "duress," and women who are passed out cannot experience "duress":

Hmm yeah I wonder why. What could possibly explain why this strange disorder is surging? I wonder if maybe disabled people have been warning everyone about this exact outcome since 2020? Can’t be sure. I guess we’ll never ever know. A mystery.
