Bigoted statements are not simply unpopular opinions, folks.

This isn’t hard to understand but very easy to conflate the two as one in the same.

High resolution scans of every single photo taken during the Apollo program is available on Flickr through NASA's "Project Apollo Archive."

I'm going to post the link but let me warn you right now it is very easy to lose a couple hours in there.

More classified documents found and turned over, this time by Donald Trump’s own lawyers https://disunitedstates.com/2022/12/07/more-classified-documents-found-and-turned-over-this-time-by-donald-trumps-own-lawyers/

I've been seeing so many people who should know better using this AI selfie app anyway. Here's a good article from @hyperallergic about why that's a bad idea.

Key quote: "So, you’re spending money to give up the rights to your face, and there doesn’t seem to be much you can do if your AI-generated selfie is incorporated into a digital advertisement for a scammy cartoon porn site or something." https://hyperallergic.com/785759/read-this-before-you-jump-on-the-lensa-magic-avatar-trend/

The idea it's fine to keep high risk people indefinitely stranded at home is immoral & should be completely rejected. Vulnerable people have a right to participate in society too. For that to happen, we all need to mask in public spaces when COVID spread is high.

Trump Organization now officially a CRIMINAL and FELONIOUS organization, more stolen classified documents found stashed in Florida, Ivanka Trump cuts a deal with the NY AG, Jack Smith rains down subpoenas + MORE! Watch a new Legal AF live at 8p ET/5p PT! https://youtu.be/Y0ouLd5-fbg

In public spaces, there is no ethical or non-stigmatizing way to identify who "medically vulnerable" people are. Many people don't even realize they are at risk of severe COVID or long COVID themselves. We need universal masking to protect everyone when COVID spread is high.

@MikeElgan Shocking how much we've allowed trump to get away with.

USA: President attempts coup. He leaves office and continues grifting and lying and sowing division and is now running for re-election.

PERU: President attempts coup. He's impeached, arrested and thrown in jail.

Anyone who urges you to do something that negatively affects your mental health and then makes fun of you for not doing it is not your friend.

A fitting conclusion to the rich forum on the Hindu far right and what it shares with other far-right projects

We must think critically to undo the dehumanising project of #Hindutva. We have begun — Here is looking forward to more scholarship. https://tif.ssrc.org/2022/12/07/understanding-and-undoing-the-far-right/#.Y5DPpwqoGqY.twitter

The private equity takeover of our health care system has been catastrophic.

One study looked specifically at private equity moving into nursing homes.

It found that the industry contributed to a 10% increase in patient mortality.

That’s more than 1,000 lives lost every year.

CORRECTED: #Uvalde sheriff had vital information about school #shooter that was not shared, & chose to stay at a different crime scene, already under control, as a far greater disaster initially unfolded. He did not take charge when he did arrive and did not ensure that cries for help from girls trapped with injured classmates and teachers were acted on. #Texas

I will miss my morning update from the NYT, but a picket line is a picket line, and I won’t cross ‘em.

Boyfriend: I thought there was one more piece of cake in the fridge.

Me: Oh, freaking Mandela effect, man...
