It wasn’t my plan but after hearing this podcast I’m just going to listen to Elephant 6 classics all day.

I found out yesterday that not only does my dad, a retired MD in his 70’s, refuse to get the Covid vaccine because he thinks that mRNA vaccines kill people, but he’s also telling his friends not to get them when they come to him for advice.

NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. With @nancyayoussef.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

When a humiliation ritual is about to happen for actors trying to revive their career

OOPS GOP ad buyer mixes up Portlands, spends money meant to help Maine Sen. Susan Collins in Oregon The PAC boosting Collins is "absolutely furious" at the "ridiculous error" made by the buyer, which takes blame and has refunded the money. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...
