Denmark is on track to wipe out the most dangerous strains of HPV. New data shows the vaccine has all but wiped out HPV16 and HPV18. It's a powerful proof point for what widespread, equitable vaccine coverage can do. buff.ly/3do5Sfo #ShareGoodNewsToo

Today in 1963, 4 young girls are killed by white racists as a bomb explodes during Sunday morning services in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL: Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson & Carol Denise McNair. Hateful thoughts lead to hateful words lead to hateful actions.

When the MSM said they were a family of gun owners, I pictured a family of hunters and sportsmen, not...this. Not a family of gun fetishists who worship at the altar of military weapons walked own our streets by civilians. Now I understand.

If you have any family members who happen to watch Fox News, ask them if they support the overtly genocidal views of Brian Kilmeade. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Call out Fox News.

Odd, I keep hearing that the same person who paid for buses to transport domestic terrorists to Washington, DC, on January 6, 2021, to threaten the lives of police officers, members of Congress, and the vice president was a paragon of "civility." Girl, please.

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

Maybe the people who baselessly blamed transgender people for Kirk's murder and spread disinformation and hate should apologize. Folks like Nancy Mace, Don Trump Jr and WSJ

The thing is, as much as they want to immortalize Charlie Kirk to justify and escalate their platform of hate, they’ll forget about him in a month and move onto something else. Hate is a fire. It has no memory. It doesn’t need a reason. It just needs to burn.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it." On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.

The first two books of the trilogy -- TUTUS GROAN and GORMENGHAST -- are EXCELLENT, but the third one -- TITUS ALONE-- composed while he was suffering from Lewy body dementia, is loose and not his best work. I have read the first 2 several times since discovering them at age 16.

Just read your review of "our" anthology... I absolutely agree that Jenny Perry Carr's “Mop-Wielding Hero of the Eight-Legged Apocalypse" kicked serious ass. Checked to see if she was on Facebook today, and she is, so I friended her and we had a nice chat.

I'm sure I'll get some shit for this, but I don't care. I was wondering how AI could be put to acceptable writing use. I thought, "Maybe the thing can write a synopsis for me." So I dumped one of my books into it, & it generated not only a 1-page synopsis, but also some in 3 or 4 lines.
