This is a lie:

"We don't set out to say, 'OK, this is going to be a project led by women' — it evolves that way,"

yahoo.com/entertainment/… #starwars #rey #disney
Evidence A

theguardian.com/film/2015/oct/…
Evidence B:

"Kathleen Kennedy] called me up and the initial thing was she wanted me to write VII, VIII, and IX together, and I said... And then the story that she pitched me was she just said it’s an origin story of a female Jedi"

wga.org/writers-room/f… ImageImage
This is very well documented,

Kathleen Kennedy insisted Rey be a female lead

She came up with the idea,

It's amazing she can lie this brazenly

wga.org/writers-room/f…
Heres Kathleen Kennedy lying about the Kevin Fiege Star Wars project,

As @PuckNews writes,

Kennedy frequently suffers from convenient amnesia when it comes to Star Wars & LucasFilm

hard part of covering health issues is that if you are doing your job right you learn that pretty much everywhere in medicine it sucks & we barely know what questions to ask about what we don't know

Humans have made tremendous progress, but we are barely past the starting line
I know it makes me a negative nancy & so no one like me cuz I pop every political sides' bubbles

Certain issues do not have solutions, rarely are solutions free of drawbacks & most folk suppose a lot about other's health problems & health policy based on little experience
It's why experimentation, rigorous debate & medical freedom are the best policy generally,

because it allows the engine of innovation to slowly chip away at that great shadow of ignorance & bring light & hope to the world

A lesson I think we are all forgetting these days

I wish there were good answers for addiction policy,

There's a reason there are more quacks at "rehab" centers than any other part of medicine

Folk are incredibly & desperately in need of anything that looks like the semblance of a solution for addiction & it doesn't exist
There's a reason that what might be our best bet to help people with addictions is called "harm reduction" as in this is a harm MITIGATION effort & not a solution

The OZEMPBIC of addiction does not yet exist I am afraid, perhaps it never will
Which is why, although it makes all my harm reductionist friends upset,

I strongly counsel never to try recreational drugs, cuz you might be one of those unfortunates who gets quickly addicted

Unlikely for the majority of people, but there's still a chance

goes against a legion of studies & anecdotes & expert testimonies that all say coercive treatment doesn't work

rare exceptions; but you are just as likely to push a person towards more drug abuse than save them

Folks in Prison Can develop a drug habit, it doesn't work
Here's the scary part,

A person can be in prison, want to change, be in therapy & get every sort of help & still not get control over their addictions

Addiction can be that hard

Long-term change though when it happens, always requires buy-in from the patient
Addiction Medicine is one of those fields that's in the dark age, extremely stifled cuz what works has only recently in some cases allowed to be tried & even then, folks like the DEA can still make it hard to use products like Suboxone or Methadone

The answers are slim & short

I'm not commenting politically on the mass shooting cuz

it's a terrible tragedy, mass shootings seem common, but we live in a country of 340 million

There isn't a lot you can take away from these stories about how to change society or our lives based on black swan events
it's the truth

rarely when these stories are investigated you find out if some new policy was put into place it would prevent it cuz what safeguards were there were not enforced

Almost always an issue of mental illness, sometimes poverty & always a broken home
mind control is not a thing;

we cannot predict when someone will so completely lose it that they will commit mass violence

We live in a scary world, free will is amazing & horrifying,

no gov policy can change that

this is my ozembic theory,

Like previous fad diet drugs, it will be everywhere for a few years,

then some terrible side effect will be discovered, enough people will complain even though it helps diabetics & the drug will be banned
it will still be legal in Russia & every so often at the Olympics the US legal team will threaten Russian athletes for cheating
if you know the history of prescription diet drugs over the last 40 years give or take this is the basic pattern,

useful to overprescribed to side effects to banned to Russia & fishy supplement companies

On my mission I lived near & sometimes on native American reservations

The problems those communities faced then & still now was severe

Did the leadership and visiting media focus on the crime, economic depravity or family breakdown

No, they focused on issues like climate… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
While i served I would visit these families, sometimes without reliable electricity or clean running water

While holiday names & climate change have some importance, for these families what they needed was food, job opportunities & safe places to live
What people need and what is easy to talk about are rarely the same thing

It's human nature

Hard issues are uncomfortable, 1rst world problems like white people using black emojis is so easy compared to solving how to get these families out of motels and into actual homes
