@FearLoathingBTX This and your Mother Jones article made my stomach turn. From someone who relies on antidepressants to live - thank you for writing this https://t.co/8GyjnWiPwQ
For @NewYorker, I profiled the strange, extreme artist, Andrei Molodkin, and considered the thin line between the role of art to achieve ideological ends and political stunting.

you may think this is silly but humans get stuck all the time as the dog in more abstract versions of this exact situation and a lot of ‘healing’ moves are just the higher-dimensional equivalent of opening the invisible door
Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA is the most absurd abortion lawsuit you haven’t heard about.
We’re physicians and policy experts – here is what you need to know.

Their mission reads: "In the presence of the Almighty, I promise that I will fulfill this Oath to the best of my ability."

It is sad to see religion twisted like this.
This is not the Christianity that I know.
Here's to hoping reason prevails. 🙏🏻
Grateful to live in a country where dangerous, misguided cases like this wouldn't fly, and hopefully never will. The Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine is a self-proclaimed "Christian" org. They are challenging FDA approval of mifepristone.
There is nothing Christian about this.
The Supreme Court agreed to rule on access to a commonly used abortion pill, the justices announced on Wednesday. It is the first major case involving abortion on its docket since it overturned the constitutional right to an abortion more than a year ago. https://t.co/ANPqigPO6c
@Eric_Conn As someone who has started going to church recently and finds Christian values to be inspiring and underrated, I read things like this and go "nononono plz don't make the internet think this is what it's about, bc it's not" 😞💔
Matthew 22:39 can we go back to basics please 🙏🏻🥺
Matching problem. Bad interface between people who are willing to pay to have a problem solved, and people who are willing / capable of doing it.
I actually think lots of people would be well suited to founding (curious why you do not) but are smart enough to know that none of their own ideas are viable. So they don't participate.
Which then selects for people who feel ok trying to sell a thing that nobody wants (ego/delusion), or people in it for the wrong reasons (status, getting rich quickly, etc). Not all founders are like this, but many are.
I KNOW there is at least one burning problem out there that someone would give an arm and a leg to have fixed, and I would be a great person to fix it. I just might never find that problem, and the opportunity cost of looking is high.
fwiw @thetimes I actually love shit like this bc it humanizes companies and reminds us that we're all just ppl who fuck up sometimes and it's ok and doesn't mean you can't still make good news
go find the intern who did this and give them a hug from me 🫂
