@WandaLJames @chris_honeybee You're both right. But the in-fighting & horrible business practices only make it easier for the government(s) to drag their feet. Both need to be addressed. States that didn't base licensing on projected market demand were set up to fail via oversupply & inexperienced retailers.

[Ben Mervis @ben_mervis]

@chris_honeybee The fact that this is such a widely-known and accepted practice because there's little threat of actual repercussions. SMDH.

@cmjomglol Since day one!

Thankful my injection was done correctly, and even if it's lower immunity, I'll take some over none. Make sure you schedule your second dose after completing your first - it's just as/more important now that we're "spreading" the dose.

I was going to read scientific literature about the vaccine that I just got, but @reluctantlyjoe has it pretty much all summed up here with help from the v fun Q&A of comments.

I’m hearing from so many confused friends. If getting JYNNEOS intradermally, you should look at your injection side after injection but before the bandaid goes on.

If there isn’t a bleb like this, the shot wasn’t properly placed and you likely won’t have protection.

@reluctantlyjoe @deemxR My bleb lasted less time than it took for me to walk home from Planned Parenthood & stumble on this thread. This is their 1st or 2nd week providing doses locally & the practitioners have already learned a lot - advocate for yourselves, give them grace. Hope this extends reach.

If there’s to be a part 2 of the MLM episode 10/10 would love to hear @davidfarrier at a Pure Romance party.

Very meta, much marketing. #ArmchairedAndDangerous @davidfarrier @ArmchairExpPod

@chris_honeybee Demand modeling is tricky business with a lot of assumptions. I hope anyone who answers this with real numbers/sets will also share sources including nationwide or aggregate surveys. Anecdotally, I rarely see consumer models, only sales models based on desired outcomes (lol).

@dwallacewells thank you, because if it weren’t for Uninhabitable Earth, I might be more freaked out by the news cycle featuring Covid, Monkeypox AND Polio. Stay safe out there folks ✌🏼

We love to see the large scale capitalism activism

H&M will start winding down its operations in Russia, having halted all sales in the country in March after Russia’s attack on Ukraine. https://t.co/rjmT639GtJ

This isn’t clickbait, I’m not trying to trick you - this whole piece is great but it’s the final paragraph that really means the most.

The highs, lows, and whoas of the @LasCulturistas Culture Awards (ft. Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for the Tayla Swiff Award, a musical number for “Cool for the Summer,” and more). @ralter reports https://t.co/BIiLgOSw1F

@broiledcrawfish Honestly, truly. https://t.co/TKUABRUpAM

[Ben Mervis @ben_mervis]

@bobbyciletti @HelloFresh YES to this idea. @dailyharvest_ you should consider matching with free weeks of deliveries? Maybe if @Bethenny asks? Mass shootings are devastating enough, never mind when they result in a food desert #thisisacrisis that we can do something about

[Ben Mervis @ben_mervis]

@LasCulturistas Loved this, love Ryan - BUT - @iHeartRadio plz fix the THREE times that this episode (on @Spotify at least) has repeat stitches/edits.

[Ben Mervis @ben_mervis]

@melrollingstone @askcannaqueen Thanks @melrollingstone 🥰 @meghenderson79 your DMs seem to be turned off for strangers but I’d love to connect 👋🏼
