How much ever garlic the recipe calls for, double it. And how much ever butter the recipe calls for, triple it. That's it. That's all of cooking.

If you just doomscroll long enough you eventually just loop back to the moment right before you felt doomed, and THAT'S where you can stop. But we all know how this story ends. And begins.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

In 3 days, the number of measles cases in a highly unvaccinated area of Texas has doubled. There are now 48 cases, all of whom are unvaccinated, and 13 of whom have been hospitalized so far, for a hospitalization rate of 27%. This is huge figure in epidemiology. This outbreak will keep spreading.

Fentanyl cannot get into your system unless you ingest it. “Fentanyl exposure” is not a thing. If the police don’t know basic chemistry or physics then they probably should stop cosplaying as experts on toxicology

Reading new illegal decrees from Trump and Elon sucks but reading that institutions are complying with them in advance is devastating
