Some professional news! https://t.co/4Aq5emltT5

@dominique6138 @davidrlurie There are many ways an effort to persuade someone to get the vax can end.
Assertion of religious freedom or commitment to a superstition or hatred of science or liberals or Joe Biden all do the trick, at least when I’m attempting to persuade.
@dominique6138 @davidrlurie Does any recognizable religion with status as a religion prohibit the taking of vaccines? Early on, Christian Science—traditional skeptical of medical intervention—promoted the vaccine for its followers.
@davidrlurie Yes—and Chabad!
As I remember from Sunday School, the proselyzer shows how the thing offers freedom, joy, sustenance and peace, and doesn't take it away.
If you want to help, it's time to GOTVax. People will think you're annoying (and your kids will cringe, mine do) but time to hand-sell this vaccine like you're a damn Mormon. Here's where to volunteer in Greater Kansas City (someone asked about MIssouri):
https://t.co/2pZwQvjYwL
Imagine too if we had a national health service didn’t have this pervasive idea that we all are supposed to be swashbuckling mavericks with our own health decisions.
Exclusive: The new iPhone 13 has a if you live in California you should definitely vote today have you voted yet what are you waiting for
Cannot wait to read @AlexandraJacobs on the regular! https://t.co/c2ifw8jzoW
That’s my point!
We are the only wealthy democracy without universal health care—or strict gun controls. https://t.co/qPDQLunXlo
@page88 @MaxBoot We also say we are unworthy successors to The Greatest Generation, whose greatness consisted of… making sacrifices for the common good.
@page88 This narrative in so much of the media that the country is “divided” over vaccines clearly needs to stop. Thank you for the reminder, Virginia.
@MaxBoot (Nearly a quarter of all Canadians live in Quebec.)
@MaxBoot Yes, that’s it exactly. But can US common-law and worship of civil liberties accommodate those things? My skepticism now runs deep. And given all that, the 73% >18 is even more impressive
Oh and only 10% of young Americans can find Afghanistan on a map. Where the US was at war for TWENTY…well, you know the rest.
@MaxBoot That’s a decent comparison — another common-law country (with the major exception of Quebec).
Of course there’s also universal healthcare there.
@freezed00 At the very least everyone should #GOTV where v stands for both vaccine and vote
@ben42m Came from the USA. Which also brought us Big Tobacco and Big Oil and the attendant thrill of disinformation
By contrast less than 66% of eligible voters - those >18 - voted in the last presidential election. Which was record turnout.
Once again as the Ned Flanders of vaccine proselytizing I urge everyone to hand-sell it to laggards. It’s still surprising how many people don’t know it’s free, don’t know “which one to get,” are scared of needles, etc.
Am I a bigger optimist than Max? It’s nearly 73% of those over 18, and those under 12 still aren’t eligible. Unlike the Grp of Seven, we are also home to the Bill of Rights & can’t just introduce statutes by fiat. Also home to all social media but TikTok so it’s disinfo central. https://t.co/tMZ0OPEf9w
And ignore the unpersuadable and the exciting videos meant to make you hate them.
Keep persuading people, keep getting people appointments, keep giving people lifts to CVS.
75.7% of adults 18+ have received at least one shot.
906,000 shots being administered every day.
@page88 my pharmacist said she saw more shots yesterday than she’s seen in weeks. mandates work.
@page88 @MaxBoot [the NHS, in a common law country, has entered the chat] hi we just announced 12 and overs to be offered vax and all 50+ a 3rd jab booster by Christmas.
@page88 @MaxBoot (The political class here still sucks.) but as an American expat I’d never move back to the US for the risks to health or medical bankruptcy
@CharlesPPierce @page88 @MaxBoot Poutine is healthcare : )
@page88 We also had a big head start over most countries and have (relatively speaking) been resting on our laurels. https://t.co/Gtrqxbjv5W

@page88 Our healthcare system is so full of surprise bills, I'm not surprised people don't realize it's free. You have to jump through hoops to get reimbursed for the cost of C19 tests. Shockingly and wrongly, some places do charge for tests.
@page88 Every time an American gets vaccinated, an angel gives Donald Trump the middle finger.
In fact it looks like I made it here before...everyone. (Where are the breakfast snacks?)
My hot take on this year's Apple event is that I don't actually have a hot take. The event was a visually stunning, pre-produced love letter to California that delivered almost no product surprises.
The iPhone 13 has really good cameras, the iPhone 13 pro has really really good cameras. That shall be my answer when friends and family ask.

Let’s talk about racism! Most white people at prestigious magazines don’t ever want to talk about race or diversity at all. Why? It's primarily because they’ve been allowed to exist in a world where their mastheads resemble member registries at Southern country clubs circa 1950..

Thanks for asking me. Before we get to "how to cover," we need decisions from the big newsrooms. Are they willing to decide who's a bad actor, or is that something to be left to others?

He followed up with: It’s not exactly bored, but let’s just call it bored, but like in my body and my brain, just all the time, it’s like bored. Games are the only thing that really makes it go away. Sorry I didnt tell you before. But that why I need video games.
5yo trying to negotiate for video game time: Mom there’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you for YEARS but I don’t know how.
Me: You can tell me anything love.

It's broadly well-understood that the slogan "tax the rich" calls out the present tax rates on the rich as being so laughably low as to barely affect them (e.g. https://t.co/rDVf7jFOEm ). Pretending not to "get it" based on technical linguistic objections is not smart or funny. https://t.co/tRlbqJOwtC
I am all for being a stickler for important distinctions that get lost in partisan debates, but when people get on here and craft clever little technical objections to broadly well-understood policy slogans it smells like desperation to feel smart and disdain for being useful.
I guess we are overdue for a reminder that the ability to abstract from context is not synonymous with intelligence.

Norm MacDonald was a true GOAT. As a comic, as a talk show guest. A true original. He tweeted this to me as my dad was dying from cancer in 2014, “I’m just an idiot, Laurie but I found when I embraced the pain as tightly as I could it became love. I pray for you.” RIP Norm. 🇨🇦
norm macdonald had a throwaway one-liner on weekend update that i still think about once a day
"at number one on the billboard charts this week ... better than ezra ..."
[stares straight at camera]
"at number two ... EZRA"

I told my mother that we can have scallops for lunch today and any day really. She loves scallops. She looked at me with equal parts delight and suspicion. I won’t lie. This is 50% of the reason I go to work. 😂
Now do folks understand why we're always talking about the need for Black editors? Yet, we rarely have a chance to move into these roles.

In its 96 years of existence, the @NewYorker print mag has published only 4 book reviews by African-American women. (That’s less than 0.01%.) In the last 30 years (1990-2020), 3.6% of the book reviews @NewYorker mag has published were by Black critics or writers.
i first saw @jamiattenberg at an event in college where she read from "all grown up" and after she asked me if i was a writer. i said i was trying to be and she said "you are" and then signed my book with "own your writer status" 🥺 huge deal for a 21 year old lol. ordering now! https://t.co/PJSBfTJbHx

From 1990-2020, @NewYorker mag published 1 Profile by a Latino writer & 4 Profiles by Black women. Only 0.7% of @NewYorker’s Profiles in the last 30 yrs are by Asian-American writers; 5% are by Black writers. Only 32% have been written by women.
in 96 years, the @NewYorker has never published a Critic at Large review by a Black or Asian woman writer
96 years
never https://t.co/gm6mv3kuhl
All of that being said, the @NewYorker’s website has, over the past 5 years, published a comparably impressive array of diverse bylines, easily eclipsing the print mag in terms of representation and inclusivity.

I always knew that Norm MacDonald was funny, and funny in ways that other comics weren't or couldn't be, but he also shaped to a great extent what I think a funny thing even is. It wasn't just new kinds of jokes or whatever, the approach and perspective was so totally new to me.
Maternal deaths from covid are so bad right now that L&D social workers are taking an example from babyloss practices and making molds of moms’ hands and feet for their babies to remember them by.
Just a reminder that Norm Macdonald wrote the best book dedication of all time https://t.co/JwdtoV8UcK

Absolutely loved Norm Macdonald. Saw him live near DC a few years back w/ Adam Sandler and David Spade. Amazing night but Norm was in a league of his own on that standup stage.
I’m all for criticizing politicians but maybe be less disingenuous when you do it. Also, wearing a “tax the rich” dress at a charity event that the rich will probably write off on their taxes is a brilliant call out. And it showcases the Black female designer who made the dress https://t.co/rV2ZA0TwXK

Once I saw Norm Macdonald in Toronto and he kept doing jokes about death. Someone yelled "No more morbid stuff!" And Norm said, "Maybe I should do... more morbid stuff!" And then he did maybe 15 minutes about how he would hang himself. "First I'd go to the rickety stool store..."

Quick thread:
Here's the deal about this much hyped Saturday's "Justice for January 6" rally.
Users on the extremist forums that hyped the rally-turned-riot on January 6 are not so hot on this one.
They're telling each other not to go, fearing it's a honeypot from the feds.
Here's a full picture of the run-up to 9/18. It's pretty comprehensive.
Public-facing forums are in a much different stance than 1/6. The rhetoric is as violent as ever, but the open organizing and revolutionary vibes? They're no longer out in the open.
https://t.co/clj1K4mvjW
Pro-Trump extremist boards have basically conspiracy theory'd themselves into inactivity.

@KendraWrites If you wear a nice dress it's too nice for you to have, if you wear rags you're exploiting sweatshop labor, and if you wear nothing at all you're a whore. When will we collectively admit that the problem is not the women but rather our society encouraging us to abuse them?
Y'all know that 99% of plastics are made from fossil fuels. But did you know that brands like @CocaCola, @pepsi, & @nestle are helping to fuel fossil fuel expansion through THEIR demand for new virgin plastics?

@bethilyssa @chick_in_kiev Male politicians wear suits all of the time that cost thousands of dollars yet we rarely comment on what men wear. However you feel about this dress you can't ignore that women field sustained criticisms about what they wear regardless. Which is what my tweet is about.
@KendraWrites After learning how to spin wool I understood why handspun and knit clothing was so expensive. It took me almost 6 months to spin enough yarn for a scarf. Granted I didn't spin all day everyday, but it is a ton of labor.
@KendraWrites Put it in a ziplock bag then let it sit in the freezer overnight. Give it a lil shake when you remove it from the bag and you should be all set 🧶
@KendraWrites regular freezing also helps prevent pilling

Established writers always say “start your own publications!” And then they make fun of indie publications, “who ever heard of the Eggplant Review lol lmao, go publish at the New Yorker if you want to be taken seriously”
@lisatozzi Take a few days and then revisit the mentions! I promise they will feel even better
From 1990-2020, the @NewYorker print mag published 0 cinema reviews by writers or critics of color. In the last 30 years, only 2.5% of the magazine’s cinema reviews have been written by women—including 10 reviews by Pauline Kael in ‘90 & ‘91.

I have zero patience for people who insist on zeroing in on AOC *wasting public funds and being a hypocrite* yet so not criticize the Met Gala itself.
You are holding AOC to an impossible standard you don’t apply to others because you think of nitpicking WOC as sport 🙄

In the last 30 years (1990-2020), the @NewYorker mag has published 0 Art World reviews by writers or critics of color. [In 2021, the first Art World print review was published by a Black writer.] Only 1% of the print mag’s art reviews have been written by women.
Because I was on a call and could not get her a snack, the six year old handed me a note that said “I hate this stupid dumb world, I want to be happy and I am not” so I guess she’ll be a literary fiction writer

White people are rarely actively racist at these publications. They simply never bother to challenge the status quo—typically out of concern that they will be inconvenienced or made to feel uncomfortable. And so the status quo often remains entrenched for literally decades.
