Kudos to Taiwan for transparency. Lab researcher (bitten by mice) got infected with Sars-Cov-2. Unfortunately, it was not reported to relevant authorities as it should have been. Fortunately, researcher vaccinated and case got caught later, so no outbreak. taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/ar…
this is elite tier nimbyism

The bravest people in history are often the ones you don’t read about in textbooks.
The normal, unassuming individuals who lived through hardships without most ever learning of their stories.
Some get recorded as names with an obituary like here. Others don’t even get that. https://t.co/0Bpo8jrahk

We are heading for the Children of Men scenario, and even Africa won't turn things around.
So the degrowthers can stop worrying their pretty little heads. Human population is gonna shrink.
The absolute most Covid-cautious people I know are less cautious than like random NYT articles and I’m not really sure how much deeper into the educated/lib bubble you can get than my life.
@Noahpinion I listened to the episode of Left Right and Center after reading this tweet. It's actually worse: @ebruenig also questioned the Uyghur genocide saying that there's "conflicting reports", which is a direct tankie talking point.
There should be a term for the specific kind of magical thinking that imagines, despite all evidence, *this time* closing a nuclear power plant which has reliably supplied carbon free energy for decades will somehow occur without substantially increasing reliance on fossil fuels.

Social media is the best birth control society has. Abstinence only evangelicals should stop fighting sex ed and give every teen a twitter login.

Both progressives and conservatives need to remember how much Americans value personal choice as a crucial part of their high standard of living.
That means being able to drive a car, get an abortion, send your kid to a nerdy magnet school, and so on.
See, don't ever let anyone tell you we don't value education in this country

Imagine if this headline read: “Over 97% of active-duty servicemembers have been fully vaccinated.”
The Washington Post @washingtonpost
You eat better food than kings did a few hundred years ago. A high school education (not to mention college) is orders of magnitude more education than 99% of people got.
We are so much freer, healthier, wealthier, more educated & more equal now that it's hard to put into words.
