I just listened this morning. I appreciate how you tied these actions to how it will impact everyday life. Excellent journalism!

I have been watching ER because I missed it the first time around, besides the fact that it’s really really good, they’re often accessing government databases when they come across strange cases that need immediate attention.

ctrl4ltdel3te.bsky.social•12 days ago

Unrelated, but if you have an HBO subscription you should check out The Pitt as well! Noah Wylie (Dr. Carter) is back, now as Dr. "Robby" Robanovich, a grizzled ER lead with PTSD from the worst of COVID. Executive produced by Wylie and John Wells (one of the EPs of ER), REALLY good stuff so far!

I’ll give it another try, the first episode, the writing seems so clumsy, I know they have to get all the exposition out, but some of it was a bit cringe. But I’m gonna keep trying. Thank you.

lizzieohreally.bsky.social•12 days ago

I think it’s probably right up my alley!

gigidowns.bsky.social•13 days ago

oh but good news! there is now an AI LLM trained on conversations from reddit, Meta, Twitter, and WebMD, which will now generate troves of absolute drivel dressed up as facts lightning fast to both you and your doctors. so yay.

harrymeanwell4.bsky.social•12 days ago

And Trump blocked CDC data today…

smitty-76.bsky.social•13 days ago

Unconscionable.

Jason and @404media.co tracked the changes to the govt codebase on GitHub and watched the purge of information in real time.

occamshavecream.bsky.social•13 days ago

Is this Kennedy’s doing/motivation, or does someone else in the administration have an interest in purging this data?

lizzieohreally.bsky.social•13 days ago

Kennedy has not been confirmed (yet). This is the effect of the executive orders.

occamshavecream.bsky.social•13 days ago

That makes sense, but what’s trump’s motivation then?

Hatred and revenge

lizzieohreally.bsky.social•13 days ago

Based on statements from the administration and its advisers, the goal appears to be to destroy the “administrative state.”

harrymeanwell4.bsky.social•12 days ago

Also the SCOTUS.
Chevron doctrine is probably dead. Also if it is dead why can the executive/Trump/Musk make all the decisions when SCOTUS said they can’t? Seems the want it both ways.

occamshavecream.bsky.social•13 days ago

No argument here

honestdenverman.bsky.social•13 days ago

The cruelty is the point, as ever with Repubs.

steelheadwoman.bsky.social•13 days ago

Even Trump knows that facts/data/statistics can be used against him. In re the WHO and the CDC, he's preparing his subjects for the next pandemic.

verseomen.bsky.social•13 days ago

The data won’t be deleted, it will be used to train proprietary generative AI engines that the tech bros will use to sell you the AI doctor that will help you. The government is being privatized.

pilms.bsky.social•12 days ago

And when Medicaid is trampled there will be no specialized Children’s Hospitals to care for your baby regardless of your insurance status.

psleeper.bsky.social•13 days ago

Disgusting & deplorable.

welshrarebit.bsky.social•13 days ago

Why this rage against medical science? I can’t help thinking it’s Trump’s revenge on Dr Fauci for being more popular than him.

5dalkemy.bsky.social•13 days ago

And then imagine having votes for the monster who enacted this abomination.

proggrrl.bsky.social•13 days ago

The cruelty is the point

flabbytabby.bsky.social•13 days ago

All they want to do is make sure that fetus is protected and carried to birth.
"They" don't care if your infant is born disabled. You had it, now you take care of it. If there's no information regarding how sick it is, then it must be well. Good luck with that.

michelleerin.bsky.social•13 days ago

This was a great episode. I’m glad to know that the data isn’t gone forever. But very worried about what 4 years without new data does to us.

Be Careful For Whom You Vote

A real-estate grifter named Trump
Played American voters for chumps.
Then with criminal broadsides
He scuttled Old Ironsides,
And the nation turned into a dump.

Republicans - "So the baby was born? Then who cares?"

wendella.bsky.social•13 days ago

Babies dying is natural. Thanks MAGA/MAHA!

ravenna321.bsky.social•13 days ago

Maybe if enough MAGA babies start dying they'll finally wake up. The mothers will.

eileenhstuff.bsky.social•13 days ago

As an uncompensated NYPD 9/11 widow, heart not cancer, and the loving Mom of 2 autistic children I can actually imagine that. I can put myself in the shoes of others pretty easily.

The heartless and thoughtless things that President Musk and his puppet Dumb Dumb Trump are doing are outrageous.

heavenlyfodder.bsky.social•13 days ago

This is a great way to raise this topic, especially for people who are hard to reach but who still have empathy
