Neither Neurodivergence Nor Mental Illness Made Them Bigots—They're Just Awful People It's hard to admit your heroes are jerks, but the mentally ill and neurodivergent shouldn't be collateral damage.

In the midst of all of the scary headlines recently, I thought I could take a moment to share a bit of good news: for the first time in history, a malaria vaccine with >90% efficacy seems to be within reach!

Here’s why that’s a really big deal for EVERYONE 🧵

Cleaning the closet, found the order for wrist guards that were in the mail when I impacted the telephone pole and ended up, (as I quote the doctor consulting me on next steps after the first surgery failed on both wrists),”you don’t have wrists, you have two bags of gravel”. Wife returned them.

Wow.

I now have no idea how to feel about Amanda Palmer now. She has always seemed like a straight shooter who was fooled by a narcissist (been there, got that t-shirt). And of course this is litigation, so there’s that. Going to actively and consciously suspend judgement for now.

She's not what we need right now.

I suspect that Barbara Lee will probably be our next Mayor, I don't see her losing to anybody I've ever heard of.

Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy's letter so everyone is informed about RFK Jr. Please repost far and wide.

This image shows the Sombrero Galaxy, a spiral galaxy located about 29.35 million light-years away from Earth. It appears as a bright, white, oval-shaped object with a thick, dark dust lane encircling its center. The galaxy's bright core is surrounded by a prominent bulge, and it has a thin disk of stars and gas that extends outwards. The image captures the galaxy's intricate structure and the vast expanse of space that surrounds it.

High quality image of the Sombrero galaxy.
