The Anti-Homosexuality Act will reverse the gains Uganda has made in its effort to end HIV/AIDS. The Global Fund UNAIDS Global & PEPFAR call for the Act to be reconsidered so Uganda may continue on its path to ensure equitable access to health services & end AIDS as a public health threat

Very unattractive when academics (many of whom rely heavily on media reporting for their research) are patronising, dismissive and elitist about journalists. There is plenty of poor quality journalism out there, but also lots of bad scholarship!

The best cure for loneliness is not more frequent interaction. It's more meaningful interaction. Many people enjoy solitude. They can spend up to ~75% of their time alone without feeling isolated. What matters most for well-being is the quality of connections, not the quantity.
