We're all dunking on this post, but we really need to ask ourselves if we would do any better in his position. Would any of us do better? Would we? Yes. Yes, we would. We would *all* do better than this. My GOD

Itās 10000% appropriate for Fergie to be canceled and for Ghislaine Maxwell to rot in prison. I just want the police and the public to bring this same energy toward the *men* who were besties with and enabled and abused women and girls with Jeffrey Epstein. Is that too much to ask?

Great news. This hard-to-pronounce drug is a lab-grown, ready-made set of antibodies to RSV. Babies aren't born immune to this virus, which is the leading cause of hospitalization in newborns. While a vaccine prompts your body to make antibodies, this drug just hands the antibodies to you.

Stipulating that 100% of this is violence, the physical violence is really frightening. There is no world in which ramming a car, breaking a window and assaulting the driver is necessary. Even if the subject was suspected of a crime, which this guy wasn't. There must be trials when this is all over
