The good people know the pandemic is over, they tested, masked, stayed in if ill for they are good people, but that was long ago they no longer do those things if it weren’t over good people might be expected to do something so the pandemic must be over for they are good people.

Gotta say- I'm impressed at how many people can ignore, deny, or be blissfully unaware of multiple existential crises. I suppose in the short term, the former two serve as coping mechanisms, but ultimately, they are horribly maladaptive responses

From the food we eat to the air we breathe, federal regulations are needed to save lives. The SCOTUS Chevron decision that allows courts to overrule experts at agencies, shows that ultimately governments care more about industry profits than our health.

This is pretty explicit articulation of what a Trump victory means for UA. Essentially the US will condition support to UA on "peace talks" at current lines. That'll be super easy for R to game out, with the tl;dr being if UA does not surrender, it will be abandoned. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Annoys me that folks accept the framing that this is about "peace talks". It's not. It's about surrender terms.

It’s unethical that COVID is frequently left out of conversations about public transport accessibility. Many disabled and higher risk people haven’t been able to access public transport for years due to the lack of masks and clean air. This is a huge equity issue.

The average March global air temperature was +1.39°C above the 1951-1980 climate baseline, as shown on the map (this is +1.66°C above the 1880-1920 baseline). See code: data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/sour...

However, the evidence that is now emerging…makes it very clear that scientists did not exaggerate. Indeed, they very probably underrated by a considerable degree the threat that now faces humanity.”

US healthcare is so broken. It's the second-biggest COVID wave so far, and patients have to call individual hospitals to beg them to reinstate masks. Meanwhile, the Spanish government simply overruled right-wing anti-maskers and made masks required in all hospitals nationwide.
