Yeah I keep seeing this reaction, but it’s wholly at odds with the history of these things. The bump Reagan got was short lived and that was the exception to the rule. TR, George Wallace, Gerald Ford all survived attacks but did not win their races.

People who are assuring us that this means Trump is going to win are clearly unfamiliar with the deeply weird lore of this country's THREE mid-seventies presidential-candidate assassination attempts.

I’m being told dogpiling individual Black journalists is righteous “protest” and I, a Black scholar of social movements and media need to shut up about it. I am very sorry folks don’t have better community and outlets to organize and I’ll give up, but I must say, that’s a wild definition of protest

The way I see it is this--if people want to boycott the NYT, then I am all for it. If people want to harass a black person for taking money from the NYT for op-eds where they haven't once altered their views for money or power, I'm going to look at them funny.

Holding a black man who writes EXCELLENT and helpful essays about democracy responsible for the acts of a heinous and hateful white woman so powerful at the NYT she was the *BOOKS EDITOR* for like a decade before becoming an opinion writer says everything about you and nothing about him.

Etsy hasn’t cared about real artists and crafters for a long time now, so this isn’t surprising. But it’s still despicable they want to continue this direction.

I said I'd wait for the data to confirm my hypothesis in the quoted post below. But yes, this article published today demonstrates that reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 is indeed less likely to give you long COVID than the initial infection. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

It stands to reason – though I will wait for the data – that infections will work the same way, and that the "increased risk of long COVID from every infection" hypothesis will be proven false. Though OF COURSE, gaining immunity from vaccination will always be superior.

So the more I see of this, the more I respect it. The Cybertruck is so unrelentingly and singularly absurd that the only sane aesthetic response is to heap yet more absurdity on top. This exudes a level of "you're locked in here with me" energy that you don't often get the opportunity to witness.
