Tough language from JPMorgan tonight: “.. we view the full implementation of these policies as a substantial macro economic shock not currently incorporated in our forecasts. .. these policies, if sustained, would likely push the US and global economy into recession this year.”

Comrades, it's ok to take delight in an outcome that you played a small role in ensuring. Some joy doesn't mean that you are ignoring the terrible. It means that you might have a better chance of surviving the terrible and remaining committed to bringing about some good. Have a good day.

Today, a study suggests that the shingles vaccine—the current one—makes you less likely to get dementia. In surprisingly notable ways. Can’t vouch for it. At all. But consider getting it. Especially if you’ve had chicken pox. I did in the last few months. It takes two appointments.

If anyone needs a fun break from <gestures at the world>, may I recommend the @overduepod.bsky.social episode on Choose Your Own Adventure's 1984 bk "SUPERCOMPUTER"? A chatty romp through an absurd set of choices, a surprisingly non-HAL lead, & somehow ZERO (?!) female side characters. #BookSky 📚💙

What's the German word for that feeling after you make a joke, your male colleague laughs, and then explains why it was funny to you. As if you didn't understand that you just made a joke. As if he doesn't believe you could be funny and must have made the joke accidentally.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Adding: Black people are 13% of Congress, but roughly 70% of the Congresspeople who have done anything useful lately (Al Green, Jasmine Crockett, Cory Booker, Jonathan Jackson...) That DOES NOT mean that my fellow white folks should sit back and let them take all the risks. To the contrary! #StepUp

Masking discourse is on again and I’ll just say if you see people masking when few others are it’s likely because they’ve determined that for them, in that setting, the benefit of not catching (or spreading) whatever’s going around is worth the cost of masking. It’s rarely more complicated than that

1/2 Enslaved field workers like Judy Collins were forced to sow the fields in the month of April. Most of what they planted was corn, and they likely planted over 1,400 acres in the span of a few days. All other work stopped during this span. #History #AcademicSky

Our most authoritative sourcing for the actual tariff policy just announced in a deliriously confusing rose garden event is someone texting with the 27-year-old press secretary on the sidelines of the event.

I'm not at all a fan of age-gap love stories. I was blown away, though, by the incredibly thoughtful discussion of the writing CRAFT and age in this episode of @fatedmates.net. It starts at 1 hr 7 min. Go listen. It's just a few minutes. #BookSky 📚💙 #RomanceReader fatedmates.net/episodes/202...

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

RFK Jr.'s HHS cuts include the entire LIHEAP team. Read that again. The entire team. This leaves no federal staff to help the more than 5 million households that rely on affordable heating and cooling. Without staff, the program is at risk of grindingto a halt.
