a bittersweet thing

This anecdote reminded me of how he was too sexy for The Graduate:

it’s that time of year (already?)

There is quite literally a database being compiled of full names, social media handles, and in some cases employers of people who have made fun of him or celebrated his death. Some of the submissions are screenshots of DMs or close friends stories, I'm sure many are also from private accounts, meaning whoever submitted it was not assumed by the poster to be someone who would literally doxx them in a searchable online database

cnn article about the coordinated right wing effort to ruin the lives of people who celebrate kirk's death or refuse to express sympathy or even criticize him. The website is compiling a searchable database doxxing kirk's critics claim they have received 30,000 submissions. some of those will be duplicates, especially when it comes to high profile individuals, and some will be troll submissions, but based on what I have seen (which is purely anecdotal, but that's really all we have at the moment), I think most of them are not. Literal congresspeople are participating in this harassment campaign.

my hottest take

yeah the guy who invented them made incredibly precise infusion pumps (as opposed to gravity fed ivs) which not only meant they could give medications to teeny tiny babies safely, it's also used for insulin pumps and portable dialysis machines. the key element is that it's a peristaltic pump so the liquid stays in sterile tubing for safety
