David Lynch spent the last portion of his life in isolation. He said it was due to being high-risk and unable to risk getting COVID.
He’s not the only person with disability or illness who’s been left behind.

25 wealthiest Americans “saw their worth rise a collective $401 billion from 2014 to 2018. They paid a total of $13.6 billion in federal income taxes… it amounts to a true tax rate of only 3.4%.”
The median family paid a far, far higher rate on their incomes.

The President of the United States will come into office with his own social media platform.
That, combined with X, means Trump will have turnkey state-run media.
I don’t think the media has fully grasped that yet.

It’s mostly white people who talk about echo chambers. Maybe you need the internet to meet people with different ideas but the rest of us do not. We know what the “other side” thinks because we deal with it every day! Everywhere! We’re fine. Carry on. Happy Saturday!

To mark the centenary of James Baldwin, I wrote a short essay for @TheLancet. On what he's taught me about responding to pushback.
To beware of "strategic ignorance" and "the imaginary line of selective judgment".

The US government literally tried to do this 100 years ago (look up “The Narcotics Farm”) and it didn’t work and leads to worse outcomes (more deaths, more drug use) than doing nothing at all…
Well, this is horrifying.
