the MALF-26 transmission animation at the minute mark is something to behold

jay bhattacharya, who has for years incited hatred and violence against CDC workers, got himself a 24/7 personal security detail last year on the taxpayer’s dime.

To mark today's celebration of life for the great Alice Wong, we're publishing a series of remembrances from those who knew Alice and were impacted by her lifelong disability justice work. She is forever missed. Read part 1 of our series at discojourno.com/featured-spe... ID in comments.

about the betting and insider trading on war ops — iranian intelligence will be monitoring these markets for early warnings of expected US attacks. this will kill troops and help targets evade capture. krugs was 100% right that it’s functionally treason, even if the law doesn’t reflect that

i do think it’s worth recognizing how utterly full of shit all these pandemic policy critics were

for those unfamiliar with the history, these dress codes are typically used in the south to preserve (or in this case, reinstate) racial segregation of businesses. it’s a serious problem that 4 million americans are still watching this show, regardless of the ratings drop.

the more public health expertise in congress, the better — especially right now. awesome news
