- Just because good news is worth celebrating: There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection. HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.
- It's under the brand name 'Yeztugo,' and it has a 100% success rate in women and a 96% success rate in men even after a year - which means that it's far more forgiving of a weird schedule, and still highly effective if you delay your booster.

- so much clothing is marketed as "conversation starters" but as an introvert, i want "conversation enders." no more talking. let me go home.

- It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

- Keep radicalizing our elected officials against the fascist administration. Every move towards sanity is a good move, every move towards accepting this situation and being mad about it is good and needs to be applauded and encouraged.

- Racism has been central to Trump and his movement since he came down the escalator. He is a racist. His people are racists. His defenders are racists. His supporters are racists. His party is a party of racists. If they want to disprove that, they can. But it's important to know they don't want to.
- Karoline Leavitt, a racist, has called the reaction to the video "fake outrage." It is now the job of decent people to demonstrate to her that there is nothing fake about it.

- The other link between the Trump administration + supporters and the Epstein files is that none of them believe there will ever be consequences, for any of it, ever, that they can do whatever they want with whoever they want and as long as they remain wealthy and connected, none of it will matter.
- The mainstream news media will never call Trump explicity racist. They'll always dodge the allegation. That's because the white people running the joints need to believe that there is a distinction between donig racist things and promoting racist polices, versus being *personally* racist.
- Racism is not an unknowable disease of the heart, it's a provable set of actions and responses. That's why the @nytimes.com can't handle. For them to admit that Trump is racist would mean they'd have to admit they been carrying the water for a racist all these years. They won't ever do that.
- Three thoughts. 1. It’s always been about the white nationalism 2. He is returning to the old favorites because his support is waning 3. He dabbled with this trope before but would always leave a hair of deniability. Going straight there also seems like a sign of weakness
- 4. I’m not sure even the Obama piñata can give his core followers the hit it used to give. Not only does the racism dopamine have a killer half life, Obama has been mostly gone from public discourse. I guess we will see.
- Just want to say, I see all the comments saying it’s a sign of his senility or mental decline. You could be right but I have a thing about linking racism to mental acuity. Not sure it needs to be, most of the time, and I don’t like the idea of racism as deviant, for a lot of reasons.
- The whole anti-Woke, cancel culture crusade: a bunch of bajillionaires who knew they had it coming, and decided wrecking fuck out of the public realm might mean too much chaos to hold them accountable. Plus their dickhead servants, who were annoyed about being told to fuck off on Twitter dot com.

- US news media's rules on when to use a Black man's photo: * When a Black man commits a crime? Use his mugshot. * When a Black man is the victim of a crime? Still use his mugshot. 🤡 * When a Black man has nothing to do with a cop kicking a dog and breaking its rib? Use the Black man's mugshot. 🤡🤡🤡

- If they make a sequel to Muppets Take Manhattan I hope they do it while he’s mayor and put him in it.
- Those are the hardest working scare quotes in the business. What is the goddamn bar for calling something racist without qualification if monkey videos don’t make the cut?
