The premise is that the President is not competent, but is abetted by middle manager types with an eye on their 2028 chances who aren't bothered by a Trump presidency.

John Moore, virologist/immunologist from Cornell Weill Med in NYC and I take the NYTimes to task for two opinion pieces on #COVID earlier this month. Both pieces are examples of "science opinion", where non-experts weigh in on topics beyond their ken. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Zeynep has consistently promoted the lab leak theory on social media over a long period of time. I was really shocked, because I have so admired her advocacy for patients with MF/CFS.

imagine hanging out with a 24 year old. It’s fun. Good energy, a great vibe. Nelly’s Ride Wit Me plays in the background. You mention you love this song. They aren’t familiar. “Oh,” they say, looking up from their phone, “it came out before I was born.”

That editor did not allow the piece to be published.
The Daily Beast published it, though. Here it is, after a light edit.

If you’re ever unsure of if you’re doing something stupid romantically, take a large photo of Grace Jones and tell her what you’re doing. Explain to Ms Jones that you’re sad because you’re being ghosted by a mid ugly bartender who doesn’t own a bed frame. Go ahead. Tell her. See how that feels.

I've been debating posting about this but @crockettforreal.bsky.social was attacked yesterday for wearing a face mask. He was shoulder-checked down an escalator & sustained a concussion. The hate those of us trying to protect ourselves get- is completely out of control & it makes me so goddamn sad.

He was taken to a hospital via ambulance. Bystanders did nothing. The store employees tried to offer him free chicken strips? The whole thing was weird and disorienting and unnecessary. He's high risk, has a high risk kid & I'm also high risk. He was just trying to keep us all safe.

I am worried about him. I'm worried about the long-term consequences of the concussion but the attacker ran off and I'm sure pursuing legal action is pointless here. I'm extremely sad that this is the world that we live in. It all just makes me want to cry.
