are all Russian bots created speaking Bengali, or does that cost extra?

yeah, I agree with that. It can feel opportunistic and disrespectful, which is why phrasing and framing matters when discussing it

I feel similarly about climate change: it's overkill to blame every storm on climate change, but also if the alternative is never to mention it when bad storms happen, that feels worse and less honest to me?

We don't know if congestion pricing would have prevented any single given crash, but we do know that (if we accept the 40% estimate, which is a key assumption) it would have prevented nearly half, and that feels like something worth mentioning when crashes happen?

I hear that point, and I think it's important not to make too much of individual counterfactuals, because they are by definition unprovable. But since the numbers from London were so stark (40% reduction is huge!) I think it's context worth pointing out when we have highly-publicized crashes

for real though, this is why we need to consciously show support for and call to thank elected officials when they do good things. I've called my Congressman at least twice a week for the last month, because he's been pretty vocally in favor of congestion pricing, and he needs to hear it!

I really liked Roxane Gay's 2015 piece on why she will not forgive Dylan Roof, and it's not a direct parallel, but the core theme is similar

It hasn't even been a week since congestion pricing was supposed to into effect, and we already have a high-profile death in the CBD zone caused by an out of state driver. Guess what I'm going to be telling Hochul today when I call! (518) 474-8390

yeah, I think it might have been largest in a specific quarter (e.g. Q4 of last year) or something like that. Possible that Adelson donations are through a foundation and might be tracked separately from individual.

About 15 years ago I wound up in the hospital the first week of August. As I'm lying there in my bed with an IV and heart monitor, the phlebotomist taking my blood leans in and whispers "See all those doctors in the hall? They were med students six weeks ago!"

Residency training starts on July 1st, and residents are doctors who have graduated from medical school but have not yet been trained (or are in the process of being trained, more precisely). The way they are trained? Baptism by fire.

Fun fact: if you injure yourself and go to the ER on July 4th, you are likely to get taken care of by a doctor who has exactly four days of experience! 🙃

lol, I wonder if it's momentary hypotension? Orthostatic hypotension is a thing. I've never heard of, um, "aphedratic* hypotension" but wouldn't surprise me, biomechanically * aphedratic, from the Greek aphedra, "to defecate"

yeah, I think it's a question of degree. FWIW my doctor has specifically told me that flashing lights and/or spots (not floaters, but like, actual spots) are the red flags to look out for, but that's secondhand so don't take it as actual medical advice :-)

so, blurry vision can be one of the signs of retinal detatchment (which is an actual emergency) but AFAIK it's usually accompanied by the other symptoms which are more common
are you experiencing the others? If so, then get it looked at

The "prison rape" joke is inherently deeply homophobic, and it does not become magically less homophobic just because it's being weaponized against a white supremacist piece of shit like Steve Bannon.

Population increases, but voter turnout doesn't always increase. Obama in 2008 got more votes than Obama in 2012, or than either Clinton or Trump in 2016.

Also, there is no way that Democrats swap Biden out for anyone but Kamala Harris without opening themselves up to legal risk and a risky court battle. After the SCOTUS decisions this term, you *really* want the Supreme Court deciding another election??

this is not related to congestion pricing, which isn't even in effect right now anyway. Lyft has unilateral pricing authority for Citibikes.

At least 170M. Instagram has been pushing threads *hard*, and from what I can tell as a person who uses Instagram but not Threads, all my friends on there have accounts, and none of them use it beyond a nominal degree, if even that.

although, actually, 1964 is before the 25th amendment, and 2008 is after. I just remember this question coming up in 2008 and people at the time pointed to 1964 as precedent for why it didn't actually matter.

AFAIK the VP becomes president immediately upon succession event (eg death of president). The swearing-in is a formality, but not legally necessary (which is one reason why the 2008 claims that Obama messed up the oath were legally spurious)

Even if nothing comes of this, the amount of damage liberal pundits have done by piblicly freaking out (about something leftists have been saying for 4+ years, no less) does way more damage than a handful of leftists in safe blue states who choose not to support Biden because of his genocide.

Swapping in another candidate who isn't Kamala Harris would be even more ridiculous. It would destroy any claim the Democratic party has to being the party that is "saving democracy" by throwing out the result of an entire primary election and coronating someone who never even ran as the nominee.
