Got my Covid vaccine yesterday and it floored me. Does the dosage need to be adjusted considering that Covid seems generally (not for everyone!) less severe than it used to be? I just want to stay in bed all morning. Watching this new video with Laurene Powell Jobs, Jony Ive, and Sam Altman.

Pam Perillo’s Sisterhood of the Condemned
Pam Perillo greets me at the door of her trailer, the yaps of a chihuahua named Peewee nearly drowning out our niceties. Perillo had just been looking for something to put on TV to soothe her animals—the territorial dog, two cats named Karla Faye and Tucker, plus a kitten she just rescued—while she leaves for […]

Good Settler, Bad Settler
This article has been adapted from a piece published Nov. 16 on the author's Substack page.
Last week, after masked settlers torched a mosque in Salfit, set fire to Palestinian trucks in Huwara, and beat farmers bloody during what the U.N. calls the worst olive harvest for settler violence across the West Bank since it began keeping track in 2006, things finally got bad enough that Israeli authorities felt compelled to issue strongly worded statements.
You may have seen it over on @Mastodon, but in case not: The new plushies are now live on the shop, alongside restocked and new mugs. Shipping to EU, UK, Switzerland, Norway, and the US. We decided to allow orders from the US, but shipping is what it is (from Germany).
We have a mailing list that we put on our blog whenever we announce some new merch is being worked on. Roughly half of the plushies have been sold before we posted about it on #Mastodon, just from that mailing list (and people checking the shop manually, I guess). And those new sticker sheets got sold out fully (but are being restocked, hopefully within the week).

Chip Kelly Learns That Like Any Ancient Evil, The Raiders Demand Blood
So let's investigate the blood-spattered scene of the crime, and by crime we mean the inevitable firing of Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, for which the word crime is probably misplaced.
We know the why, but what about the when? Did Pete Carroll decide to do it at halftime of the Raiders' latest failure against the equally failure-adept Cleveland Browns, when the Pirates With The Swords Through Their Heads were already losing 14-3 and quarterback Geno Smith had been sacked five times? Did it come after the first possession of the second half when the only plays in Cleveland territory were two more sacks and a run for zero yards? Did it come immediately after the game ended, a 24-10 loss that was significantly grimmer than anyone could have imagined even though the two teams entered the game with a combined record of 4-16?
