Dave gets it. "And even though the depraved morality of this moment should be bleedingly obvious to every sane, compassionate monkey, in the West this truth is obscured, mythologised into nothingness, twisted until up is down and offence is defence and all of a sudden: ‘iT’s CoMpLiCaTeD’."

So far, their most outspoken and famous doctor is cheering it on. UCSF let this be the public face of their university with no pushback. I have sympathy for 99% of their doctors who are descent I’m sure.

It is the job of the artist to provoke, to be controversial, to be outspoken, to get us to think. Isn't that one of the main points of art? If we start cancelling every artist because they "create debate" then who the hell are we as a society? Craven cowards. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

The fun thing about this article is the astonishing double standards disguised as analysis. Some white, male athletes behave this way constantly and laugh it off, if it’s reported at all. Special woman standards apply.

I'm still puzzling over Ita Buttrose claiming in court today that ABC staff had not checked into Ms Lattouf's background in any way, and Ms Buttrose had formed no opinion of her one way or the other - but somehow Ms Buttrose knew with great certainty that Ms Lattouf was an "activist". Eh?

There are at least two hypotheses other than "immunity debt" for the surge in severe flu. Both involve letting a virus rip, calm-mongering, and normalizing infectious disease.

It's disturbing seeing some medical and public health professionals trying to normalize RFK by saying "we have to meet him halfway." NOPE. RFK is a charlatan who has deliberately spread disinformation that has killed people. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.
