The U.S. is withholding billions in Global Fund and PEPFAR funds, putting HIV care at risk worldwide.
PEPFAR reflects Dr. Paul Farmer’s belief that health care is a human right—and has saved over 25 million lives.

Someone remake “It’s a Wonderful Life” but Mr. Potter believes that hoarding is morally required so he can devote resources to delivering a far future with trillions of humans while George Bailey is like, “Gosh Darnit! What if taking care of people today is what takes care of people in the future?!”

Me: “I love when I’m hanging out with people and we start talking about people who aren’t there and they’re like, ‘Oh I love so-and-so!”
Them: “People say that about you a lot when I’m talking to them. Just thought you’d like to know.”

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

All right it’s time for the annual “please tell us about one (or a few if you are ambitious) paper from 2025 that really impressed you and why we should all read it“! Go! If you tell us how it changed your view of the world and what makes it so powerful and consequential It would be excellent.

Had two monitors, an old one and a new, nice and big one. Got a third, newer but less nice monitor. In installing the newer monitor, apparently broke the nice big monitor. I am now left with the two worst of the three. I am sad.

I cannot state any more baldly or clearly than I already have about what an immense menace RFK Jr. is. The number of preventable illnesses and deaths - of *babies* - will be horrific. This anti-vax crap is grotesque anti-science, and always has been.
Congratulations to everyone who wrote an op-ed about how he just wants americans to eat better

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

Manager: “Do you know how much a gallon of water weighs?”
Me (oblivious, trying to be helpful): “I think it’s a little over 8 and a third pounds, right? Like 8.34?”
Manager (annoyed): “It’s 8. See this is what I’m talking about!”
I think I’m going to stop answering questions.

My little nephew is too young to read my stories, but he adores me and wants to read my stuff. So I wrote him a children's book, just for him. He loved it.
This year he wrote his own version of that book as a gift to me. It has the same color cover. It has crayon illustrations. It owns.

This dragon (shown here in playmat form) by @crystalsully.bsky.social. Saw it at NYCC and immediately knew I had to have it. In person it feels like a blacklight poster that doesn’t even need a blacklight!
