"How can you end a friendship or family relationship because of politics?" Well, a person's political beliefs are a reflection of their morality, empathy, and sense of justice. I can't think of better reasons to keep or lose someone in your life.

Sigh. I don’t think everyday folks quite realize the connection between the gutting of legacy media, with all its failings, and the rise of fascism.
Venture capital killed a 151-year-old magazine that I and so many other people were proud to work for, until, of course, we were all laid off a few weeks ago.
After 151 years, Popular Science will no longer offer a magazine
The long-running publication has come to an end.

Keep extending the ceasefire until all the hostages are released and then keep extending it again to develop a real political solution to guarantee peace, security, dignity, and freedom for all.

If you've fallen out of practice of wearing a mask, this would be a good week to start again! COVID rates are rising because of a new variant, and because many people will have gotten sick over Thanksgiving. Your best protection is wearing a high quality mask.

New report: COVID can cause lasting damage to your body beyond just what we call long COVID.
Public health experts, health advocates, and immunocompromised folks have been talking about this possibility for so long.

I think the fact that we did fix these things and it didn't make it into collective memory is a big part of the apathy toward climate change now. A lot of us remember being warned about all this stuff as kids only for it to go away without much discussion - *because we fixed it*.
we fixed acid rain! we fixed the ozone layer! we beat polio! we’ve rescued scores of species from the brink of extinction! the despair many of us feel about climate change isn’t that it’s too big to fix. it’s that we know it is fixable but we’re being thwarted by greedy ghouls at every turn.
The other day I was like “you know something we heard a lot about as kids was acid rain, why don’t we hear about it anymore”
TURNS OUT we fixed it???
