I never learn anything from them, except darker realizations of how fucked our discourse and politics have become.

I'm sure I'll still come here for occasional hate-looks, but the New Year's resolution is for slow but steady withdrawal.

Happy Holidays! /end

[Peter Staley 🇺🇦 @peterstaley]

New Year's resolution: say goodbye to X. No need to rehash its decline. I could live with that if it was still a net plus for me personally. But it only dings my mental health now. It was never my primary social media platform (subscribe to my FB & IG). /1

And I've been hardly posting here for months. The scales tipped negative as folks I liked left (on principle, which, in all cases, I've admired), while those I hate-follow are posting more than ever. The narcissists run this sandbox now. /2

Awful news about our colleague Ibrahim Dahman's family: at least nine of his relatives have been killed. He's been fearlessly reporting for CNN from Gaza since well before this war began.

"They were extremely peaceful and simple people, and their entire lives were devoted solely to work and raising their sons and daughters," Dahman said. "They have no affiliation with any organization or group... Pray to God to have mercy on them all."

Raccoon dog? Bamboo rat? Four years after first #COVID19 case in China, science is providing new clues to the virus’s origins. The lab leak theory won’t go away, and maybe never will, but still seems unlikely, by @KenyonWallace https://t.co/6r8RD4ShGB via @torontostar

This @MailOnline headline is a lie. Fauci has always agreed to testify. The @COVIDSelect Subcommittee FINALLY asked him to last week. That they retweeted this lie is all you need to know about how they roll.

@NancyK07312478 Heard this from the horse’s mouth last week.

Open and shut.

Hey, @KatherineEban, since you retweeted this synopsis of your article, can you explain how the “disclosures” you outlined “cost lives?” Seems to me that you’ve tipped your hand that your article is another love letter to the lab leakers who blame scientists for Covid.

“In the roughly 30-minute meeting, Ms. Yaccarino focused the blame on Media Matters and did not address Mr. Musk’s endorsement of the antisemitic post.”

I’m confused. Isn’t advertising on a website that prominently features its owner’s anti-Semitic replacement theory comments a far more troublesome issue than one of your ads coincidentally appearing next to some rando’s obscure hateful comment?

Just as he did by building a vast chain of pharmacies, @AIDSHealthcare’s Michael Weinstein is buying tons of real estate in order to accumulate political power. Having burned all his bridges within the public health establishment, he’s now searching for a new sandbox.

@AIDSHealthcare Foundation, which is the world's largest HIV nonprofit and which the HIV advocacy community is often regards warily, has floundered in its efforts to move into providing housing for homeless people, a @LATimes investigation finds.

@adamrocketblack @LizHighleyman @gregggonsalves It took basic science to find additional classes of ARVs. Once we did (mid 90s), the LSTs were launched.

The FDA is not your problem, and you need solid candidates for LSTs.

Smart activism is lobbying for $$$ for basic science.

@adamrocketblack @LizHighleyman @gregggonsalves Wrong. The TDF in Truvada wasn’t a known anti-HIV agent in the 80s. After AZT, they found other NRTIs as 1990 approached, and kinda did a LST with ddI. Using NRTI combos bought some time for many, but many others became resistant to the class. /1

Quite a résumé he’s building.
