Lawyer, dad, dog lover, skeptic, wanderer. Rarely in that order.

@TimurNegru Used to live nearby. Mandello del Lario is a little gem.

Tiger blew a 0.00.

If you tested every private school drop off and pick up line in South Florida for all substances, you'd be arresting moms all day every day.

Where are the RCTs showing that repeat COVID infections are safe?

I want to see the evidence.

@MarinaC_Dyb @uconnhealth Amazing! I’m a CC dad in CT and have been wanting to get CR boxes into the schools in my town for some time. Is there any way I can get involved in building/advocating? If so, please DM me!

@YankeeGunner @RoMaRiO1991 I think this is right. They probably suspect, or caught wind, that the sanction is going to be severe. This challenge gives them space to downplay the wrongdoing, instead insisting that real reason they got hammered was that they had the stones to take on the Prem.

@Meathead_Esq As a PD, had an older female client suffer a psychotic episode. Was taken to the hospital and cuffed to a gurney. She apparently kicked one of the docs as her legs were not yet bound. Caught a felony battery charge and doc was gung ho to prosecute. Fucking embarrassing.

@ashleyeleanor My sister played little league until 10 or 11. Was the best player in the league. Begrudgingly switched to softball, was an all-American in college, and played internationally/professionally. Hold out as long as she’s having fun. It can be done! :)

@GuerrillaVille None, but was living in Lombardy with little kids and no family around so we learned quickly. Wife and I are lawyers so we’re pretty good and sniffing out nonsense/finding trustworthy sources of info.

One of the most important skills a lawyer needs is knowing when to simply not say anything.

@TRyanGregory In Italy, I got my first one in June 2021, as soon as it was open to my age group (40-50).

[MJR @mrolla52]

@G_Padraic Feel that. I had a client ask me what type of lawyer I was going to be after I finished law school. She meant well and I didn’t have the heart to tell her. Convo occurred right after I got her case tossed. 🙃

You should probably know in advance that when you develop Long Covid, there won't be a cure waiting for you at your doctor's.

There won't even be much concern.

1/"With" COVID vs. "From" COVID

A 🧵

Not long after the pandemic began, the public was introduced to a new talking point

That point was the concept that people could die "with" a disease and not necessarily "from" it

This was not actually all that new a talking point...

@titoperez I’ll resort to looking out for Tit’s Bits in my bathroom.

When I much, much younger, I used to idly imagine what I would do if forced to survive an apocalyptic event.

What I didn’t at all anticipate was having to still clock into work to earn money each day during the apocalypse.

Schrödinger's COVID: a pandemic that is simultaneously over thanks to hybrid immunity (such that mitigation is unnecessary) and running so rampant that everyone being infected repeatedly is inevitable (such that mitigation is impossible).

[Radley Balko @radleybalko]

So after nine years, I'm being let go by the Washington Post. This is disappointing but not surprising. In recent years, the Opinion leadership has made it increasingly difficult to do the reporting & in-depth analysis I was hired to do -- in favor of short, hot takes.
