Absolutely devastating reporting from Hana Kiros on what "life-saving aid" has come to mean and not mean, and the many children dying as a result. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

“They put poison in the food, it makes us sick.“ The reality here is so fucking boring that it doesn’t stick on anyone’s head. What “they” did was make food cheap and “ultra palatable” which is the fancy phrase for “very yummy.” Thats it. A huge part of the problem is that food is too good.

Aside from the question of theft, I think the biggest reason why AI-generated content can’t be called “art” is because it can never be transformative.

1/ The cure for TB—roughly half a year on antibiotics—has existed since the 1950s. It works for most patients. Yet, in the decades since, more than 100 million people have died of TB because the drugs are not widely available in many parts of the world. Gift link.

I'm truly not interested in a political project that "restores" the US. I only care about one that completely transforms it.

Amid the heartbreak in so many directions, it was a wondrous balm to spend today on Capitol Hill with over 200 TB Fighters from every state in the U.S. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who made it happen from @tbfighters.org to @partnersinhealth.bsky.social. Together, we are strong.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

I spent today learning about global health at Tumaini Global Health's program at Depauw University. It fired me up to head to Washington D.C. on Tuesday to make the case for robust funding for human health both at home and abroad. Can't wait to see hundreds of TB Fighters on Capitol Hill!
