Ben Shapiro and other right-wing political commentators have spoken out in support of Jordan Peterson for crying over Olivia Wilde's recent "incel" comments. Peterson appeared to break down in tears on Piers Morgan Uncensored when he was asked about Wilde's recent statement in which she referred to Peterson as the "pseudo-intellectual hero to the incel community." In his response on British TV, Peterson said he's simply trying to speak to "disaffected young men," with many people on Twitter suggesting the same. While the likes of Shapiro and Matt Walsh spoke out in his defense to their millions of Twitter followers, others mocked Peterson for his show of emotion. "So just to get this straight, Jordan Peterson is a Very Bad Man™ because he tries to help young men who need guidance," Shapiro wrote on Friday.

Shapiro was … [Read more...] about Ben Shapiro defends Jordan Peterson crying at Olivia Wilde “incel” insult

As the pandemic wears on and many people become complacent, Dr. Bob Wachter, UCSF chair of medicine, says he still plans to abstain from indoor dining, and don a mask in crowded rooms. In a lengthy tweet thread Saturday, Wachter said he’ll return to restaurants only when daily case rates fall below 5 for every 100,000 people in the region. That’s a significant drop from the national rate of 28 cases for every 100,000 people, and even from the more moderate daily case rate in San Francisco, of 19 per 100,000. I’m not doing indoor dining, and I still wear a mask in crowded indoor spaces. While most in US have chosen to be less careful, in this I’ll review the logic & math behind my decisions, hoping that some of you will find them useful in navigating today’s Covid landscape. (1/25) — Bob Wachter (@Bob_Wachter) August 28, 2022 “Clearly, many will find my threshold too conservative, others too risky,” tweeted the doctor, who has cultivated a huge social media … [Read more...] about UCSF’s Dr. Bob Wachter not ready to ditch his mask or dine indoors

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 2 Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation Thursday extending paid supplemental COVID-19 sick leave through the end of the year. The bill requires California companies with 26 or more employees to continue providing up to 80 hours of additional paid sick leave to employees unable to work because of COVID. It also covers sick leave for workers taking time off to care for infected family members. Existing COVID sick-pay mandates were set to expire Friday.

Satellite operators will have two years to adjust to the new rule, the first of its kind in the US. An existing, decades-old and non-binding guideline had encouraged satellite operators to deorbit their satellites within 25 years of the end of the satellite’s mission. “But 25 years is a long time,” FCC chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said in a press statement Thursday afternoon. “There is no reason to wait that long anymore, especially in low-Earth orbit .” The new rule is necessary, Ms Rosenworcel added, to combat the growing problem of space debris in low Earth orbit. “Right now there are thousands of metric tons of orbital debris in the … [Read more...] about US FCC adopts first ever space junk rule for satellites
