Flu data out today.

Medical people in the comments are BEGGING YOU to get a flu shot. They say it's been shown to be 48% effective in the Southern Hemisphere.
🐦 🏮 on why the Dems deserve blame in the railroad contract dispute and not just the Reps. Democrats removed the only mechanism rail workers had to get sick days, knowing Reps wouldn't vote for it.
They sacrificed rail workers mental, physical and family well-being at the altar of profits and the economy.
It's important that we hold politicians responsible -- especially those "on your side" --instead of accepting their whataboutism regarding the opposition.

I've resorted to googling the couple Twitter handles I got value from for updates. It has worked out well, I get what I'm looking for without contributing to the daily active user count there. Or getting caught doom scrolling endlessly. Am I the only one?
