it doesn't work on jellyfish stings either so at some point you have to conclude there was just a very successful fetishist with a public health column
it’s science
The South African health minister who promoted “treating” HIV with beetroot juice and garlic instead of anti-retrovirals is estimated to have caused 300,000 deaths.

Friday was my last day working at 18F. It was a team of extraordinary people, but a few things happened that made me realize I had to leave.
Everything happens so much these days, so I thought I’d write down for myself what happened, and how I made my decision:

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:
18f.org
The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.
Don’t make me tap the sign meme. Sign says: AN IRONIC SWASTIKA IS STILL A SWASTIKA
no scurvy for you
i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve
I've assembled a team of the most horrible perverts and criminals you've ever seen and we're going to fix this country
It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives
one thing I'm pretty sure of (though not from direct experience) is that if you somehow do the nazi salute by accident, & you're not a nazi, your reaction is more like "oh god what just happened, I'm mortified, I'm so sorry" than "I'll do it again if I want"
just saying

Elon Musk Ignites Online Speculation Over the Meaning of a Hand Gesture Speaking at a celebratory rally in Washington, Mr. Musk twice extended his arm out with his palm facing down, drawing comparisons to the Nazi salute.
15:06 Uhr Elon Musk irritiert mit Hitlergruß- ähnlicher Bewegung In der Sporthalle Capitol One, wo ein Public Viewing ausgerichtet wird, betritt Elon Musk springend und tanzend die Bühne. "So fühlt sich Siegen an", ruft er und reißt die Arme nach oben. In einer kurzen Ansprache sagt er zu jubelnden Trump-Anhängern: "Dank Ihnen ist die Zukunft der Zivilisation gesichert. Wir werden sichere Städte haben, endlich sichere Städte, sichere Grenzen, vernünftige Ausgaben, grundlegendes Zeug.“ Mit der rechten Hand macht er eine Bewegung, die an einen Hitlergruß erinnert.

Spite and sheer bloodymindedness in the pursuit of transcendence is the vibe.
Once again, a gaslighting of what it was like. I found the leadership of tech to be very conservative even if their employees were not
Actual smart people see being able to not double down, being able to admit error or lack of knowledge, as smart behavior. They respect a person *more* for saying "I don't know"
People who only want to appear smart, never seem to do any of this.
cyberpunk is a warning, not a manual

(& it feels very related to the miscommunication of vaccine benefits as primarily individual in nature)

It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...
the internet is the best place to learn the fact that even your most innocuous and inoffensive thoughts engender a deep personal hatred in someone
humanity contains multitudes and at least one of them despises you
Live your life in a way that Piers Morgan would hate you
never have I felt more like a mom than when I’m catching my child’s vomit in my cupped hands, entirely unfazed
i am disgusted on a moral and aesthetic level, separately
