Someone posted the other day (last week? what is time?) about an author who recently turned down an award in Georgia. I'm looking for that original post to share with a student who's working on a related research project, but I can't find it. Anybody remember the author's name? Thanks :)

In an era in which two men, Musk and Trump, have decided to kill millions and endanger billions for their own ends, let’s celebrate James Harrison, who saved over two million babies through his donation of a rare antibody. He just died at 88. www.npr.org/2025/03/03/n...

Wild that the day after the FDA is like "Eh, maybe no flu vax next year lol" the CDC drops a report about how children and adolescents who got a flu vaccine were 32%–60% less likely to visit a doctor because of flu and 63%–78% less likely to be hospitalized.

THREAD: Today, House Republicans will vote on an extreme budget that cuts $880 BILLION from Medicaid to pay for billionaire tax breaks. Ryan Mackenzie and Rob Bresnahan are swing-seat Republicans who won by only 4000 and 6000 votes, respectively. Call and pressure them so they #DontCutOurMedicaid.

We just launched a 16TB archive of every dataset that has been available on data.gov since November. This will be updated day by day as new datasets appear. It can be freely copied, and we're sharing the code behind it to help others make their own archives of data they depend on.

I think we really need to repeat, and keep top of mind - The federal employee firings are NOT ABOUT SAVING MONEY. What is spent on those employees is peanuts compared to most of the money in the government. Firing federal employees sows confusion, depletes morale, and degrades government service.

No longer referring to state corruption as banana republic shit. We're calling it cybertruck for state. No longer need to worry about IED's, trucks are more likely to explode in a fire from someone muttering DEI at them from the side of the road.

Ending voting for women is a core part of the Evangelical plan for the country. They have even considered implementing “household” voting where each family only casts one vote (and we know who decides). This is the first step. (Image reposted with ALT)

It is genuinely wild to be a caregiver for my dad in this particular moment. Just...so many complicated feelings.
