I just saw an infectious disease doctor liken wearing a mask in 2026 to “wearing two condoms to prevent HIV” which has got to be one of the wildest, most irresponsible takes I’ve ever heard. First of all - Wearing one condom does protect you from HIV, as a well-fit respirator does from COVID!

What's the common denominator? The UAE. Even as Israel gets far too little criticism for its genocide and influence campaigns, the UAE somehow gets *even less* despite ALSO spending millions of dollars on influence campaigns, lobbying, and buying lawmakers.

You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.
