Exactly this. If you want to piss and moan about how it’s hopeless and useless, feel free, but don’t expect a ton of support from the people who are putting their back into stopping it.

Hey #LongCovid and #CovidCautious crew! I’m looking for info on how to get a Novavax Covid vaccine. They seem to have vanished from the CVSs in FL. Any suggestions on how I might find one? (Looking for my 93 yo mom and myself!)

Yep. I saved hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month just from switching from Substack to self-hosted Ghost. I pay a roughly flat $85/month now (~$75 for mailsending, $10 for hosting), vs. 10% of all my subscription income.

How the fuck are people still hung up on em-dashes as a sign of AI. You know who uses the fuck out of em-dashes and despises AI? Me. You know who had their entire life's work stolen by Meta, literally every single book they've ever written, to feed their AI? ME.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Colossal’s bungled wolf announcement isn’t a conservation win. It’s a sad reminder of how the offensively rich want to foist their vision of the future on everyone. My latest for @slate.com

Reminder: now would be the time to deactivate your fingerprint- and face-unlocks on devices in circumstances where you could encounter law enforcement: air travel, including domestic travel; entering federal buildings, including courthouses; driving while Brown. Use a password/key code instead.

Hi! Are you a US researcher who spent time thinking about humans? Then your work is in danger of censorship and loss. I'm here to walk you through basic self-archiving. Maybe you think I am being hyperbolic. You only worked on bacteria! Not your problem. Do me a favor and join me anyway.
