Another HUGE tactical error by Fauci. The literal only attitude public health can have about Christmas is mitigation. The only people who would cancel Christmas on Fauci's word are not the people he's concerned about with regard to spreading covid. It's totally useless.
He needs to realize that it's the second Christmas under covid and people are going to do it. They should all be focused on providing tips to remain safe instead of holding the entire holiday up in the air as some sort of carrot/stick if everyone finishes their peas and carrots.
As I was saying.
Now's a good time for the people who didn't like my tweets this morning to pipe up again.

After 4 episodes of #MidnightMass I'd urge you to think of it less like Hill House/Bly Manor and more like Mare of Easttown but with Horror elements. Slow burn but has some really chilling stuff in it.
HOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIIIIIIIIIT
Man, all Flanagan needs is a little breathing room to set stuff up and if you have the patience to sit through it, the rewards are so worth it.

The antisemitism understander has logged in. Image
They didn't reach out to her on Yom Kippur. Her response is dated September 15, which is the day before Yom Kippur. The complaint is about the day the story ran.
Was it the best decision to run it on Yom Kippur? Meh. But the timing of the email exchange is fine and implying they had some antisemitic motive here adds ad hominem insult to the injury of accusing them of misogyny. She's a flailing mess and her defenders are embarrassing.

I'm just trying to understand why, if identity is the prevailing factor here instead of physicality, can't cis men compete against women too? If trans women have no unfair advantage, why do cis men?
Not everyone who would compete in a much lower weight class in boxing or MMA has an unfair advantage but they still can't do it.
It's on the basis of physicality, not identity, as I said before. If it's only "because they're trans women," then why exclude cis men "because they're cis men"?

I said this last week but something health officials, including Fauci, should have done way more often and should still be doing is answer "I don't know" to any sort of predictive question about when certain things will happen with regards to covid. Because they don't know.
Will we need boosters?
I don't know.
Will there be another wave in X?
I don't know.
When can we expect--
I don't know.
Instead it's always stuff like "I foresee" and "in all likelihood" and "probably," and the hit rate on those predictions would have bankrupted them in Vegas.

Utter horseshit argument. I'm big on vaccines, but comparing this ever-shifting situation to flat Earth is exactly the opposite of what should be happening. I find some people's motives understandable and others infuriating but it is absolutely not a monolith of stupid people.
We haven't even decided how many doses of the stuff we should be getting!
I mean, look at stuff like this. Acting like the literal only reason to not roll your sleeve up instantly is that you're deranged is so fucking disingenuous.

Look, this is a really weird decision that I'm sure has some dumb explanation like "what if he has to go to the registrar's office in person?" But his personally stated reason for not getting vaccinated is basically "meh, don't really feel like it." Just get it, asshole.
It’s amazing how people who spit poison at everyone are suddenly thin skinned when you call someone an asshole because he’s too lazy to get vaccinated and would rather get kicked out of college.
“Way to convince him.”

I focus my efforts on people who are hesitant to get it. This guy even said he’s not concerned about dangers. He just doesn’t wanna. Yuck.
