In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.
249 years later, we have this idiot.

My deepest sympathies.
You're a veteran author now! ❤️
This is as good as everyone's saying it is. The anti-corruption message is a good one, imo
Neat to learn about Angelo Rizzuto, but calling him "another Vivian Maier" is reductive and wondering how many other Maiers are out there is silly. There have always been talented loner artists working in obscurity, in every medium. Was Van Gogh the original Vivian Maier? See how dumb that sounds?
Our 47th Atlas, then.
"Remember Iryna is not a grassroots memorial; more so, it is a political campaign funded by men who have been explicit about their ideological goals."
Holy shit
Sentence them to be drawn and quartered. (The companies, not the executives. Unless...)

Wake up babe a new meme dropped

The value of a liberal arts education is that I know that a weird little guy who only answers questions accurately if you phrase them just right is called an Elf and that motherfucker is never to be trusted.
Finally, some good news for my egg-powered unicycle startup!
The irony of reading an article on IndieWire about the enshittification of Alamo Drafthouse after having to kill an autoplaying popup video ad and getting periodic Chrome alerts that some ad or other has failed to load.
It’s been fascinating to watch this AP story circulate through the web this week and horse-shoe back to the local press. I broke the story about the effort to digitally preserve Aadam’s collection 15 months ago. Glad more folks are digging through his recordings!
It's six houses: Stanley and Skil-Bosch are missing. (Also, screw the Potterverse.)
The Tesla was gone when I went back out later. No damage to my car, so whatever. Maybe he'll think twice about trying to hog spots on a busy block. (Probably not.)
A blue Tesla is parked backwards in an angled spot, about a foot over the line. My silver Prius is parked next to it.
A Wisconsin license plate is suction-cupped to the inside of a Tesla windshield. Six Chicago parking tickets are fanned out above it, with a little note reading “Please add more tickets xoxo”
Had to squeeze into the last spot on the block at work. I hope this jackass enjoys climbing in on the passenger side.
Everyone forgets that Trump bombed Syria early in his first term as President (it was actually 9 years ago today) www.vox.com/2017/4/6/152...
It's so frustrating. They've squandered so many opportunities since the championship.
