This is a good story.

I believe one measure of a society is in how it cares for its “useless” members. I believe the commandment to “honor your mother and father” speaks directly to this.

Dr. Jen “Keep wearing the mask” Phillips 🗽🇺🇸🌎 (@ClutchScience) Tweeted: My mom has dementia & has lived in a dedicated memory care home 3 years. She received her first Moderna shot today. For the last year there’s been a lot of talk about how to assign value to lives like hers, so I want to tell you a story about the necklace she’s wearing. https://t.co/MWhKD8ye0L

Interesting. Ok, Lauren. (But that Biden Rolex thing seems to have been a real whiff, among others. I bet there’s a long list somewhere.)

‘Nuther good thread, on layoffs that indicate our economy is really unhealthy. And, incidentally, what layoffs after a merger do and don’t look like.

Hey, @nytimes, I’m a subscriber, for now, still, after everything that you’ve done over the last few years. You need to make this right.

(Everybody else, read the whole thread.)

Josh Shahryar (they/them) #BLM (@JShahryar) Tweeted: I just want to ask this, @NYTimes. How did you see this picture… of a woman with stitches on her lips. On her way home from the hospital with her only support in this critical time. Being stalked about fascist scum. And thought, “Firing her is a good idea.” https://t.co/X1RcknL5zA

Bingo.

A.R. Moxon (@JuliusGoat) Tweeted: Conservatives mean two separate things whenever they talk about “cancel culture.” One is social consequence for an exposed pattern of empowered abuse. They hate it. The other is strategic coordinated outrage abusing a target over an invented/minor infraction. They love it.
