The most important, practical takeaway from our story is that if you are single, you should take up curling.

I mean, what percentage of the American population responds "who's that" when someone says "Olivia Nuzzi"?

My guess - 99+%, right?
"Online sales haven’t been particularly frenzied either, though. By Wednesday morning, the hardcover edition of “American Canto” ranked No. 6,709 on Amazon’s bestseller list"
​​Does scandal sell? Not for Olivia Nuzzi’s book so far | CNN
“We ordered a lot and so far, people have not been beating down the door,” said one bookseller.

COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

Journalists! This is really important data to have ahead of the ACIP meeting Thursday
CIDRAP’s Vaccine Integrity Project has released a major evidence review: 400+ studies/reports, 40 years of data—and the conclusion is unmistakable.

There is no evidence supporting a delay in the hepatitis B birth dose.

Begging reporters to make this distinction. She did not "cite" the Bible, she *invoked* the Bible.

"Citing" is this: "According to the Genesis account, 'In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth'" (Genesis 1:1, KJV)."

Just saying "the Bible says" before your claim isn't citing.
There literally wasn't a single citation given. Even when she referred to the Bible--the ONLY text she refers to by name--she couldn't even cite which verses she quoting.

I was an English student at OU. I can fuckin guarantee that any one turning in an essay like this--Bible or no--would get a 0.

That sort of thing gets you fired in the real world, so tolerating it in an academic setting would be pointless.

Incredible thread - remember the real Rosa Parks, not the watered down, convenient myth Rosa Parks.
Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

🌲 Why do trees matter for birds? Let’s branch out!

📉 Forests support over 75% of all bird species — yet we lose millions of acres every year.
📈 It’s time to ROOT for trees — healthy forests mean healthy birds. We’ll LEAF it at that!

This is very good. I like to remind people that headlines in the 80s would (regularly!) talk about people who drank lattes or ate sushi as exotic, self-indulgent yuppies with obscure tastes. Media constantly made fun of “haute cuisine” meals with tiny portions because fine dining was bad.
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

If you are not going to say it like this, don’t bother.
Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

No one can take that away from us, nor the forty-plus years of organizing, demanding, and caring for each other when institutions would not.

No one can erase World AIDS Day or our collective efforts to end the epidemic
