    Remember the racist cop who excused the Atlanta spa shooter by saying he had a “really bad day”? Turns out that if you watch the video in context that’s not what happened ... he was relaying the suspect’s statement to the press as part of a briefing.

    It's incredible how behind politicians are on this issue. They're practically in a different universe.

    I feel like I could write a short history of the pandemic in quotes from stories that have stuck with me. This is the first to stop me in my tracks because I'm overwhelmed with hope, not anger or despair.

    Not seeing the problem here.

    Dan Bongino tells that Biden is "boring" and "a disaster for talk radio." "It's going to be a challenge. It is. It's going to be a challenge."

    Keep your eye on Gibraltar as a policy experiment. The entire adult population has received at least one vaccination, 2/3 are fully vaccinated. Cases are about nil -- if they stay that way as everything opens back up, it's party time around the world.

    It's happening!

    NEW: I saved this one up for the US morning, because it’s a big "good Covid news" moment for our friends across the Atlantic A "vaccine effect" is now clear in US data, with hospitalisations falling faster among the old (mostly vaccinated) than the young

    My view is that it's okay to report facts and share different opinions, even or especially when it's inconvenient, because I trust that people are smart enough to wade through disagreements and reach their own conclusions. Otherwise, society doesn't really work.

    The bizarre thing about people on the left doing this is when people on the right do it by, say, arguing that "now is not the time to talk about gun control," everyone on the left understands how nonsensical that is.

    This tweet is a good example of a trend on here: to get people to not share even basic facts because they go against The Narrative. It's usually framed as "read the room" or "not right now," but the goal is to silence disagreement, no matter how factual.

    Based on public surveys, there are around 250,000 hate crimes in the US each year. A media outlet could easily pick out a dozen of these on any given year and hype them up like it's a new trend, even if it's not at all.

    Maybe we should wait for the facts before trying to set the narrative to whatever fits our priors.

    It's very weird that it's widely known presidents give ambassadorships to campaign donors and yet presidents keep doing it and no one really seems to care.

    I was really upset that homeless people did not have access to the $1,400 stimulus check. I just found this out. If you are homeless, you can go to a tax return office where they will file something called EIP return. They will put the money on a debit card after. Retweet.!

    Harm reduction works, and Covid-19 proved it. But America is still in many ways stuck to an abstinence-only approach.
