I have to repeat myself. Why isn't this on the headline of all newspapers?

Malaria used to be endemic and not uncommon in the United States as far north as Chicago, before being eradicated by large-scale public health campaigns involving the draining of mosquito breeding sites and pesticide spraying.

This resurgence in Florida really wants to happen. The disease and the insect vector are both happy here, and I really wish people appreciated the scale of government involvement required to keep Malaria out.

The G.O.P.-led House formally censured Representative Adam B. Schiff, Democrat of California, on Wednesday over his role investigating former President Donald J. Trump, the first in what could be a series of votes seeking to punish those whom Republicans have deemed the party’s enemies.

The censure passed by a party-line vote of 213 to 209 with six Republicans voting “present.” The measure had the backing of Speaker Kevin McCarthy after its lead sponsor, Representative Anna Paulina Luna, Republican of Florida, altered its language to remove a multimillion-dollar fine some Republicans viewed as unconstitutional.

I’m not gonna tell people to CW things. Know why?

It’s tone policing.
It’s attempting to control a conversation I don’t want to participate in.
Telling strangers or even my followers what to do is not effective, I have found.

You know what is effective?

Dealing with it myself.

I can mute your boosts or I can mute you. In the extreme case, I can block you. And I don’t have to make a shitshow about it.

At the end of the day, you know who is responsible for what appears on my feed?

Me.

I am responsible for who I follow, and what I choose to see.

If you are clogging my feed with things I don’t want to see, telling you to CW or not to boost things without one isn’t going to work. My own experience has demonstrated this, time and time again.

@pivoinebleue I can not stand that smug STUPID SOB #Tuberville....he's one of the worst Alabama has had...and that's saying a lot.

Whoa. This actually happened: Rep. Eric Swalwell stared down Kevin McCarthy during the House vote to censure Adam Schiff & literally told Kevin McCarthy, "you're weak" and "you're pathetic." What a beautiful picture to imagine. I just can’t get this out of my head.

Given that the Watergate break-in spawned the use of "XXXXX-gate" as the go-to label for scandal and disaster, why would anyone name their company OceanGate?

Live your life so that when you are in mortal peril, the whole world doesn't makes humorous memes about it.

@AlliFlowers This is fucking ridiculous. But school librarians can get fired for giving kids books. Make it make sense!
