People should, IMO, not loose confidence in J&J or any of the vaccines. This reaction is *extremely* rare, if a direct linkage at all. Hopefully the pause will tell us exactly how rare, who might be at slight risk, and ⬇️ what to do/not do if reaction happens.
This is a helpful visualization of how low the risks are, by @pbump washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…
Not to diminish things but a reminder that things that also can expose people to risks of blood clots are flying, and taking the pill. And yet we do because the risks are low, and precautions or alternate means can be utilized.
Please keep relative risks in mind.

And if a short pause for 5% of our vaccine supply can help FDA/CDC better assess and communicate the (very very small) risks then fine.

I thought Facebook's 4D depravity no longer had the power to shock me. Wrong.

Maybe "culture fit" means those who don't care about democratic norms?

Stunned that the guy who got his start making a website to rank the relative "hotness" of his fellow students would view recruiting this way. Image

A few weeks ago I asked my movie club if we kept picking films about mid-life crises or if it just felt that way because I was in one.

Missed last week. Open the text thread to see what we're supposed to watch tonight. It's The Big Chill. 😱🤣
This movie came out when I was still in high school and it always felt like a passport to Boomerland.

What's the GenX Big Chill? There must be one but can't think of what it is.
Before I even start this thing, just going to say that it's truly bizarre that the Trump campaign used "You Can't Always Get What You Want" as one of/the main theme songs. Even without this movie, but with it? My god.

All I want is to convene a labor or historian, a trauma specialist, a costume designer, and experts in the various ethno/social groups at hand to discuss Peaky Blinders in depth.
Love the show, though there are some DP/sound design/weak-sauce ghost and truly over-the-top flaws in the most recent season that I hope will not curse the next.
All that heavy breathing/Ghost/aggressively sudden phase light stuff in a couple S5 eps could have been cut and the season would have been totally the better for it!

Did the show runner change? (Too lazy to Google)

I think that there's a certain percentage of men will do this, and abuse women, sexually and otherwise, no matter their age.

How big a percentage is a question I wish sociologists and psychologists would ascertain so that we could better risk assess.
Perhaps the more salient question re this part of Gaetz's (alleged) behavior is goes to the culture of *other men* who do not object to or report sexual trophy hunting, or worse.
There's a really good tiktok (good luck with search terms, I just tried 😱) of a comedian talking about coming to terms with his friend, the rapist, and not confronting the less-but-telling behavior along the way.

We need more men confronting each other, and themselves like that
