Way to go, D!
David Abbott (‘26, CA) shoots this ball the other way for a base hit. Immediately followed by stealing second and third before coming home on an errant throw. Speed makes a real impact on the bases #WWBAWest @California_PG

The high cost costs lives. Everyone with needlessly costly (and hard to obtain) tests keeps calculating, “Should I use it today or save it for when I might need it later but be unable to get one?” Rapid tests need to be freely available, especially in the indoor winter months.

THREAD: As #Omicron surges and our systems strain, I wanted to share my #COVID19 experience in NYC last month. It was actually a hopeful window into what a society where we look out for one another and a government that is set up to truly care for us could look like.

The fact that you simply can’t, as a reality of nature, fight a pandemic as an individual based on your own individual choices alone, should show us all that none of us truly exists alone. Our fates truly are bound together. That reality should inform how we live going forward.

THREAD: Have you wondered about the secret targeting of Nipsey Hustle by cops before his death? Internal docs from LAPD now reveal a dystopian campaign to target Nipsey, and pervasive corruption to benefit real estate developers. Some of the stuff in here is chilling.

The reason It's a Wonderful Life (1946) holds up so well is that George's line, "You know how long it takes a working man to save $5000?" has somehow not aged even slightly.

The next generation is going to have to contend with the fact that we lost every important fight to amoral morons because we insisted on being polite while they cheated.

The Omnicron variant is just another example of how COVID will be prolonged if rich nations and Big Pharma keep blocking vaccine distribution.

Update on how things are going on local journalism, a thread: Today I drove around the hospital where all of my kids were born trying to figure out if they’ve brought in refrigerated trucks yet, or where they would be parked when they do come.

This is a thread about how journalists decide what is “news” and what isn’t. Anyone shaping the news and anyone consuming the news should understand who decides what counts as news, how they decide it, and what determines what they say about it. Here, I ask a few questions:

Air pollution kills an estimated ten million people each year. But it does much more than that, too. A long thread on what it means that more than 90 percent of the world's population is breathing dangerously polluted air. (1/x) lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v43/n23/…

I’m frequently asked what gives me hope & courage. My answer is always this: it’s knowing that we wouldn’t have the freedoms we have now if it weren’t for the hope & courage of those who carried the banner before us. What’s been done before can be done again if we all stand up.

Our window of opportunity to safeguard a healthy planet is shrinking. BUT we can change our trajectory by changing what we value: nature, ecosystems, and social equity. Not just maximizing profit. 🌎 @NatGeo 👉 buff.ly/2Y3WX23 #EverydayESG #ESG #climatechange
