Wow!
Covid vaccine development and delivery cost $79.4 billion, but the health and economic benefits of vaccination were valued between $4.83 trillion–$37.8 trillion.
A return on investment of $59.8–$475 per dollar invested!!
This is why vaccine equity matters!

“I think we have to assume that actually sunlight has a normalizing effect.”
I wrote about the debate with the Jubilee fascists, the overall idea of the utility of debate and the alleged need for it in order to arrive at truth, and the malicious and corrosive effect this false idea actually has upon the discourse and society.

Boiling Water
The corrosive damage cause by forcing people to defend their own lives by debating ideas that have already been defeated.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode deficits
3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.

Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

in Germany a lot of this was a reaction to the war years and the failed promises of German imperialism, but you see similar dynamics all over. Fascism's greatest supporters are mediocre people born in comfort who need someone to blame for the fact that they don't have more.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil.
It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

Se a esquerda entrar em depressão, seguindo o conselho de fazer pausa (como se isso existisse em política e como se a reflexão não se fizessem em ação) apenas aprofundará a sua derrota. O conselho não vem de quem a quer revigorada, mas morta. Tem de se reinventar, não de fazer férias.

"For old men like me, transgenderism is a foreign concept.....However, what really convinced me to approve the airman’s request was the airman. Imagine how much courage it took to come into a commander’s office and request such a procedure. That’s courage. And we need more of that in the military."
"In total, I commanded five transgender airmen. (All airmen, regardless of gender, are 'airmen,' by the way.) Like all airmen, they had their strengths and their weaknesses.…Good commanders take care of their people. I hope I took good care of mine. I tried to treat them with dignity and respect."
Transgender Service Members Aren’t the Problem
The problem is people in high office who can’t recognize bravery, patriotism, and sacrifice.

5/8. The *targeted universal* approach (emphasizing racial equity benefits) also increased support *and* advocacy intentions among Black and Hispanic respondents. It did NOT reduce policy support or advocacy intentions among White respondents or Republicans (as many people fear).

1/8. You might have heard that it’s a bad idea to talk about (racial) inequality and/or equity-enhancing programs and policies. Over the past few years, both scholars and pundits have argued those messages undermine support for important policies. Well, that conclusion may be a bit premature.
