@TreyCPA3324 @AMikeBloomType “forces you to scramble and play” when your two greatest pieces of currency (deception and your vote) have been weaponized against you?? that completely neuters a contestant’s ability to play

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose.

One of the best reads of the year from @MattMcGorry

“The science is really clear getting Covid over & over again is not good for anyone. It feels like where the climate movement was 10 years ago, where scientists were saying things & people were not really listening.” #LongCovid
