The perverse thing about the eugenicist "logic" at play here is that RFK thinks that "only sick children" could or should die from measles when zero children, sick or otherwise have done so in decades. All of the sickness and any deaths can be laid at his feet due to his decisions.

This is so important because the framing has shifted as RFK Jr tries to make the death of children from a preventable disease seem normal, when normal was very recently (before anti-vax creeps like rfk jr) ZERO children dying of measles. Because vaccination was normal.

this story kind of flew under the radar, but I, in fact, think it's bad that an entire university system has just given up on the idea that its students should actually learn anything www.calstate.edu/csu-system/n...

Cached US Kindle giveaway: 10 copies of Terry Pratchett's ONLY YOU CAN SAVE MANKIND (Johnny Maxwell Book 1). This is a non-Discworld novel. It's ... weird, honestly, but definitely a pterry novel. Also very clear pterry liked video games deeply. #KindleBookGiveaway #GNUTerryPratchett

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

Reminder that surgeons specifically and the medical field generally are obstinately deliberately refusing to learn lessons aviation effectively learned almost a century ago (it did take a few more decades for them to stick in aviation)

this little book is out in the world and i would love for you to read it. THE DEATH OF MOUNTAINS is a novella that's been called "renentlessly affirming of human creativity." a climate fiction book filled with humanity and hope. because there is, and should be.

the thing about Trump as Pope is it's not just a joke and it's not just disrespectful. in context, it's about evangelical Christians sneering at and declaring dominion over Catholics (a group who did face discrimination in the US not that, that long ago.)

A quadriplegic man named Normand Meunier died via MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) after being neglected for 4 days in ER. He was denied a specialized mattress, wasn’t turned & ended up with terrible bed sores. His partner says she was threatened with removal from the ER for advocating for him 🧵

HELLO! Times, they are a dire, so forgive my gentle interruption where I ask that if you’ve read STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS — or any book by any author! — it’d be great if you left a review of it somewhere. And tell friends! Tell family! Tell the whole internet! Tell a random bird! Birds like books too.

Being a writer is an incredibly stressful way to pay the bills. Your payments are sporadic, and odd, and when things are hard you have to struggle to be creative and it is not easy--but not being able to write only makes it worse. If you have some $$ to help Lily get to the next book, please do!

Every time you repeat the phrase "Medicaid Work Requirements" you are helping MAGA destroy Medicaid. I really don't know how to be more clear than that.

Good news: A federal court barred Border Patrol from stopping and arresting people using practices that violate the Constitution. We shouldn't have to live our lives in fear of being stopped by ICE. @ufw.bsky.social @aclu.org @aclu-norcal.bsky.social @sdicaclu.bsky.social

Legally, by the Constitution and tradition and training, it can not. I need everyone to understand that and repeat it loudly and often. On its own signing this EO should be seen as treasonous.

Scientists have done the research. Federal agencies are mandated to use that research—much of which was taxpayer funded!—to make evidence-based policies. This is an all-out assault on expertise, and as Dr. Tran notes, it’s all about grift. People talk about Big Pharma but ignore Big Supplement.
