Despite all the NYT "but his age" articles, I sincerely appreciate how Biden is able to deliver a speech without making me wonder if he's actively having a stroke. I can't say that about the candidate who is ::checks notes:: 4 years younger and fighting 91 criminal charges

I have ADHD. Sometimes I can't sleep and by this point in the day my meds have worn off. That means that sometimes, very late at night, I post whatever comes to mind. When this happens, I eventually fall asleep and wake up the next morning to a bunch of notifications and an overwhelming feeling of dread.
I guess what I'm saying is: feel free to ignore anything I post after 10 PM pacific time.

The great thing about being the self-appointed "paper of record" is that you get to write your own revisionist history that completely ignores the role your editors and reporters played in minimizing the threat of COVID— time, and time, and time, and time again

And for the record, there's no real debate among reasonable experts: multiple COVID infections are bad. To the extent that there's *any* reasonable disagreement among experts it's over a very narrow range of extreme badness— from more likely to suffer permanent damage to vital organs (lungs, heart, kidneys, brain) ➡️ more likely to end up dead. I wouldn't want anyone to get the impression that "you'll be perfectly fine" is part of the debate because it most definitely is not.

I'll never forget how, in July-ish 2020 a (different) NYT reporter publicly admonished me on Twitter for suggesting that her article was misinforming the public by arguing that COVID reinfections were improbable. I pushed back w/ evidence showing COVID reinfections were already taking place but that the CDC wasn't tracking on the data. She doubled-down. A few months later, I was proven right. She won some kind of journalism prize for her COVID stuff. Anywho, better late than never, NYT ⤵️

I'm coming to terms with the reality that prElon Twitter was singular in its ability to bring journalists, politicians, and advocates into a common space. It cannot be recreated. Not here, not on Threads, not Bluesky, not Spoutible, not Post, not anywhere else.
Elon's backers got exactly what they wanted— to disrupt grassroots advocacy and make their political contributions more valuable. 😔

The media is tripping over itself because Pres. Biden wears a CPAP machine. Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell randomly shows up to work with purple bruises all over his face and the former guy nearly died when he got COVID, and Clarence Thomas was hospitalized for several days within the last year. The absence of editorial perspective is contributing to the destruction of American democracy

@npub1ulm…hweg This is a good example of why it's best not to comment on (im)pending litigation 🤷🏻‍♂️

@npub1ulm…hweg Also not a fan, and I read the statement as him saying that the DMCA was overzealous and a plague on humanity. The generous reading would require me to add a conditional that isn't implied by the context e.g.: when enforced in an overzealous manner the DMCA ...

I can admit when I'm wrong: If a year ago, you had told me that Devin Nunes would prove to be a more competent social media CEO than Melon Husk I wouldn't have believed you. And, for the record, I've had a low opinion of both 💩💩 for years.
