on the other hand - activism theater does kind of have a place, if only to normalize resistance to abductions.
alas ICEBlock suffers from a classic interface / UX problem: the user isn't you. without solving the fundamentally social problem of trust and verification, the app promises safety and delivers the opposite: another channel of misinformation to stoke fear.

Hudson River ice report (belated): no ice!
Hudson River ice report: mostly clear, all that remains are small drifting bits of ice. The banks appear to be nearly clear. Spring is on the way for sure.

the MMR vaccine saves lives! widely available immunization to diseases like measles is a miracle of the modern age that we cannot afford to take for granted.
Sharing these numbers because I wasn't aware of them myself. In the US:
* 1 in 5 unvaccinated people who get measles are hospitalized
* 1 in 20 children with measles get pneumonia
* 1 to 3 in 1000 die
If you're not immune, close contact with an infected person gives you measles 90% of the time
* 1 in 5 unvaccinated people who get measles are hospitalized
* 1 in 20 children with measles get pneumonia
* 1 to 3 in 1000 die

Measles – NFID
Measles is a highly contagious respiratory disease that can result in severe, sometimes permanent, complications including pneumonia, seizures, brain damage, and even death
