There is no such thing as an intelligent report on increasing school absences due to chronic illness and mental health issues that does not lead with a discussion of the out-of-control virus that causes chronic illness and mental health issues.

And an exhaustive accounting of the monetary value of the loot stolen during this ongoing heist.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

And they both look like they’re withering away. Covid is consumptive. But many of their audiences are attributing it to an eating disorder.
At least they’re saying “COVID” & not just vague “illness.” I hope she didn’t spread it to too many people before testing.

Perfect casting.
The actor Colman Domingo loves to put on a show. His role as Bobby T in “The Running Man” — Edgar Wright’s reimagining of Stephen King’s dystopian 1982 novel — is the first time Domingo has played a showman in the movies. nyti.ms/4pdf8cr

“With so many marginalized communities, we’re basically the oracles…we’re the ones who see shit before it happens.” In June 2020, I interviewed Alice Wong for TVU before she lost her ability to speak. I asked her how she’d first learned of SARS-CoV-2. She began with the 2016 election of Trump:

Covid-19. Bird flu. Et al. Now is a *really* good time to wear those respirator masks, my friends.
I think a lot about those who have died directly because of the carelessness, selfishness, and negligence of their fellow humans. Our species has not evolved enough. We have a LONG way to go.

Anyone who’s ever used emergency contraception or gains peace of mind by even having it on hand owes Dr Camp a debt of gratitude. What a force.
(Also, I just learned one reason the FDA rejected it at first was that they said the name Plan B was too glib!)
Great obit—no paywall.

When Covid caused NYC offices to hollow out what they found was that yeah the core business districts suffered but the neighborhoods where people actually live, thrived.
All WFH means is rethinking business districts, not cities.

if you cant go in to the office 3 days a week then you really can't complain when cities are hollowed out. cities are places where ppl work and network. getting rid of that makes cities useless
And it's usually something like "but that's not what the literal DNC does!" as if I don't know, as someone who has worked on Dem campaigns, sometimes in conjunction with the DNC what they do. So I'm going to be very specific here: this is the DNC being shitty: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...
