Every state should follow California’s lead and eliminate non-medical exemptions for vaccines in public schools. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/philadelphia-measles-outbreak-hospital-day-care-rcna133269

Religious trauma of the highest order.

@lovelylovely You know what they say: Republicans fall in line. Democrats fall in love. We fell in love with Obama and have expected the same ever since. We forget that Obama was a once in a lifetime figure, and while he could move us like no one else could, politics is also about getting things done, and by that measure, Biden delivers everyday, like this new rule about gig workers ⬇️ just this week!

In 2015, South Africa refused to arrest Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir, who was accused of genocide in Darfur. The decision drew international condemnation. In response, they threatened to leave the I.C.C. They argued the I.C.C. is biased against Africa.

Same old story in international politics. South Africa cozies up to dictators like al-Bashir and Putin while bashing Israel under the guise of moral authority.

Red States GOP voters are signing up like crazy for #ObamaCare Insurance However these same fools will turnaround and vote Republican.👇

If you ask Rick Astley for his copy of the movie Up, he cannot give it to you as he will never give you up. However, in doing so he lets you down. Thus creating the Astley Paradox

[THREAD] I am reading The Woman and The Car, A Chatty Little Handbook for All Women Who Motor or Who Want to Motor by Dorothy Levitt, circa 1909 and it is TOO DELICIOUS not to share with you.

Miss Levitt is known to automotive history as the inventor of the rear view mirror. In her day she was famed as a speed racer of boats and cars, who taught British Queen Alexandra and the princesses how to drive.

She felt women should not have to rely on male chauffeurs or mechanics but be independent.

Some old blackhouses in the Scottish Highlands weight their thatch down with stones. These ones made me think of those theme park rides where people dangle from a track.

That one in the front has just seen what's coming.
