Please remember: They want to talk about 15 weeks vs 6 weeks because it's a lot easier than talking about women going septic

I need someone to explain to me why it’s always “if you can’t pay rent, buy fewer lattes and avocado toasts” and not “if you can’t pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts and real estate”.

Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

Mortality rate:

Mifepristone 0.65/100,000
Penicillin 2/100,000
Phosphodiesterase inhibitors 4/100,000

We live in a post truth world. Facts are irrelevant.

The safest drug has the most regulation.

throughout history, older generations have always believed that the younger/newer generation, no matter the time period, lacks discipline and respect. this isn’t really new, but i think we should avoid falling into that cycle before we start sounding/acting like our parents

[Mollie Goodfellow @hansmollman]

the negative connotation of becoming “dependent” on anti-depressants is so weird like okay I’ll be chronically depressed instead then and have a poorer quality of life to make you feel better I guess

Democrats will hire the best and brightest of Gen z and then defer on digital strategy to 47 year olds who were outdated online in 2008

I appreciate the NIH for seeking comments but come on...every person in academia knows that giving post-docs higher salaries would be the #1 solution to increasing recruitment and retention.

"They can't be too depressed, look at how they perform at work/school/volunteering!"

Can we please come to grips w/ the fact that how we do or don't perform at (whatever) ISN'T a reliable indicator of how we're feeling & functioning on the inside?

What are you going to do, wear a seatbelt forever? Wear a bike helmet forever? Drink clean, chlorinated drinking water forever? 🤡

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

The primary complaints about Gen Z ultimately boil down to "They refuse to work shitty jobs for shit pay" and "They're too nice to people who are different". Which says just as much about the quality of the older generations as the quality of the new one.

The New York Times, Washington Post, New Yorker, Atlantic, etc need to hire actual public health editors and writers. Your science and medicine staff aren’t suitable for public health coverage. These are not interchangeable areas of expertise.

I think smartphones are ruining our lives but also if I had to go to the airport in 1998 with just my wits & a subway map I’d kill myself
