@Sandi @abbynormansays @emmillerwrites @bobsmietana I make wine and teach a course called "Wine and Spirituality" so I am sure we could get something together.

Valuable thread. His comments on the hyperlocality of homelessness and the mirage of "solving homelessness" that criminalization and encampment clearing provide.

[Aaron Carr @aaronAcarr]

I want to share a story about the power of the Housing First model — which provides permanent housing to the homeless — and how it’s actively undermined through criminalization efforts and the high cost of housing.

This story takes place in Venice Beach.

@vinosity Congrats to you!

In Evidence-based practice, we use ‘evidence’ instead of ‘proof’ to emphasize evidence isn't the same as proof: it can weak and unconvincing or so strong no one doubts its correctness. EBP is the conscientious use of current best evidence in decision-making about patient care.

@martensmatt1 @between2worlds @AriSchulman I thought the opinion piece was rather uncareful and quite vulnerable to easy critique, to be honest. Your comment (not to mention Justin's) seems to ignore the entire realm of the decision sciences in healthcare.

Most of us receive far greater implicit or explicit subsidies than this, with far weaker policy justification. Let's at least acknowledge that, before getting up on our high horses when politically weaker and less-affluent groups also get nice things. (4/4)

This @sesamestreet moment will bring you joy

[Stephen Inrig @wandrernotlost]

@greg_thornbury Definitely. Hit me up and let's make it happen.

[Stephen Inrig @wandrernotlost]

@greg_thornbury Gotcha. I'm nearby (but moving my own kid in this week), but wave in the Orange County direction when you get there and I will try to wave back!

[Stephen Inrig @wandrernotlost]

@greg_thornbury You headed to Loyola or just kicking it around Marina Del Ray?

@martensmatt1 Moreover, "the legislation we like" may itself be or permit injustice, "the judges we demand" may rule unjustly on many points besides the one we favor, and "all the cabinet members we prefer" may perpetuate systems of injustice despite the cloak of virtue we claim surrounds them

In this experiment Dr Rob Thompson of @UniRdg_Met shows just how long it takes water to soak into parched ground, illustrating why heavy rainfall after a #drought can be dangerous and might lead to flashfloods.

@adntaylor Many restaurants in Southern California have not learned this lesson.
