I spend my life thinking about commercial determinants of health, harm reduction, baseball, crabs, and punk rock. It's an OK life.

He/him they/them or snap/point.

Good-bad, not evil.

Oh, this seems pretty cool. Now that Elon has cracked down on the API and made tools like debirdify not work, @[email protected] has created Whosum, a browser extension to help make your social graph more portable. It currently "records" your Twitter connections and then highlights those on Mastodon all in your browser (not on some server somewhere). https://whosum.com/
Whosum - Rebuilding networks of trust

Whosum helps bridge verified identities from across social networks.

My partner is insisting that if one KNOWS Kevin Bacon then one is no degrees away from Kevin Bacon. I maintain that is preposterous, Kevin Bacon himself must be either 0 or null degrees away from Kevin Bacon. The bartender in this margarita joint is appalled and studiously avoiding us.

The rapid and complete disintegration of the Nets has a real Ethan and Joel Cohen undercurrent. Just needs Ben Simmons to somehow end up with Durant, Irving, AND Harden's paychecks before tripping and falling off the Verrazzano or something.

Prison reform (and abolition) has moved well beyond the fringe if the NEJM is willing to accept the argument that it is a public health measure.

Powerful piece from @EricReinhart

I need to switch to full-time Mastodon anyway, it's just bleak to think that my last engagement could very well be making some half-assed crack about the Manteca Water Slides.

(Or I could lean into it and make it my epitaph.)

Though I love that every time Dickweevil punches himself in the crotch, the entire internet observes a minor holiday.

I am torn between the economy of being cremated or being buried in such a way that archaeologists a thousand years from now say WHAT THE ENTIRE FUCK HAPPENED HERE??

It's a nice place I guess, but Midtown is a super dead scene.
