Seeing quite a lot of panic about this news: if VRBPAC doesn't issue recommendations about the strains for the 2025-2026 season, vaccine manufacturers will just use WHO's recommendations. The lack of US input would mean, at most, a less tailored vaccine, but it's guesswork anyway.

I wrote a post about the Klan 100 years ago and how the grip they held on the US seemed impossible to break, but people fought them anyway. And it’s been read by tens of thousands of you (!!!). I guess people want stories of hope right now. dansinker.com/posts/202…

I feel like I know my Bluesky audience pretty well, but just in case some of you have (gasp!) never seen Casablanca and therefore never had the heartsplitting experience of watching a bunch of real life European refugees stand up and drown out fake Nazis by singing the Marseillaise go fix that soon.

If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.

Hello from a solidarity march down Broadway, where I just saw a tween girl carrying a sign that says WITCHES AGAINST FASCISM. (No, I will not be putting her photo on the internet.)

Democrats think what they're doing is selling Pepsi in a Coca-Cola market. What they're actually doing is selling Cola-Flavored La Croix in a market dominated by Coca-Cola with the cocaine still in it.
