Pretty interesting to see #CDC post pre-buttals on thimerosal in vaccines & the MMRV vaccine in advance of this week's #ACIP meeting, where the new committee appears intent on reopening debate on settled science. www.cdc.gov/acip/meeting...

Development of more highly targeted vaccines means that even though kids today get a lot more shots, their immune systems are exposed to far fewer antigens (the active components) than kids encountered from a few shots decades ago, @jakescottmd.bsky.social explains. www.statnews.com/2025/06/24/t...

Thanks, JC! I’m really enjoying Barry Ritholtz's new book. Barry and Downtown Josh Brown run the fastest-growing RIA in the country, RitholtzWealth. The book “How NOT to Invest” is a must-read. @allstarcharts.bsky.social

Some people get into journalism because they’re skeptical of power, and others do so because they’re impressed by it. Moments like this are clarifying with respect to who’s who.

KTLA - Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all US Marines, pepper-sprayed and punched in the face by alleged federal immigration officers while he was working as a landscaper at an IHOP. He was then forced into the back of an unmarked car in Santa Ana.

These are not police. By law, they have to identify. If they won’t—copy their plates, call the actual police and let them know you are witnessing armed police impersonators.

"The media continues to cover politics as if it is still the 1990s. 'Both parties are basically center-right or center-left parties.' The journalism infrastructure in our country wants to pretend that that’s the world that we live in. The instinct is to treat everything politicians say as valid."

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument. Gift link: wapo.st/4l7a1ch

Interesting peek into how tariffs may shorten the lifespan of Social Security — by requiring higher cost-of-living adjustments and suppressing the number of jobs/workers who pay into the fund. (A lower birth rate doesn’t help.) @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/b...

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

100% concur. Additionally, these troops didn’t fall in and start marching cold. They practiced. So this normal walking, out of step gait by certain individuals was clearly intentional. And I’m here for it. #notmypresident #notmycommanderinchief

“Historically, no one lived past age 35” "I’ve heard so many versions of this claim, including recently from a menopause doctor (implying menopause is not “natural” because noone lived long enough to go through it). Every time someone states this “fact,” a demographer loses a piece of their soul"
