Thinking again of Douglas Adams: “Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.”

Most Americans don’t think about measles because vaccination had largely eliminated the scourge from the U.S. in 2000. But many Americans who survived measles as children never forgot how sick they were. These are some of their stories.

A widely predicted victory for the far right in France has instead turned into a victory for the left *because people turned out in record numbers to vote.* Defeat is not inevitable and more progressive elected officials means more progressive policies.

In France, the left coalition comes in first, Macron second, the far-right third. The best way to defeat fascism is not centrism, it’s a strong left.

I am not a fan of D&D 2024 changing "race" to "species", doing away with racial ability score modifiers, and removing the half-elf and half-orc from the Player's Handbook. I am extremely wary of applying real-world social justice principles to fictional creatures that don't actually exist.

It's pretty fucked up that, in the "movie collections" section of Letterboxd, they leave out the 2016 remake. Sorry, sad weird dudes, it still counts as part of the franchise.
