It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.

And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).
Screenshot from project 2025 that says By statute or regulation, CDC guidance must be prohibited from taking on a prescriptive character. For example, never again should CDC officials be allowed to say in their official capacity that school children "should be" masked or vaccinated (through a schedule or otherwise) or prohibited from learning in a school building. Such decisions should be left to parents and medical providers. We have learned that when CDC says what people "should" do, it readily becomes a "must" backed by severe punishments, including criminal penalties. CDC should report on the risks and effectiveness of all infectious disease-mitigation measures dispassionately and leave the "should" and "must" policy calls to politically accountable parties. Conflicts of Interest. There was a time when the CDC could not take money

Only that green van thing (maybe a taxi?) knew how to lean into the turn. Other drivers need practice learning to control skids.

And yes, I laughed my ass off watching this a few times.

Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead. It’s already getting hard to build an affordable PC, and the exit of the longstanding provider of consumer memory is going to make that even more challenging www.theverge.com/news/837594/...

Michigan lawmakers are proposing a total porn ban

The "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act" H.B 4938 would prohibit the distribution of "real, animated, digitally generated, written, or auditory" depictions of sexual acts.

Some states have moved to require age verification to ensure only adults are watching porn, but no states have outright banned the viewing of pornographic material.

Internal Microsoft people keep asking me why I wrote a .NET Bluesky SDK and when I explain it was mean to support enough to write a bot to troll @sinclairinat0r.com about beans, but it grew out of control their response is "Of course, that doesn't surprise me"

The latest round of /Bluesky is Dying/ discourse reminds me of the most important lesson I learned while jumping from Twitter -> Mastodon -> Mastodon + Bluesky -> Threads -> Bluesky

And that is: the stuff I post doesn't always resonate with others, and blaming the platform doesn't nullify that fact

Ok.

Then let it die.

Because theft is theft.

And even worse if you’re profiting from the crime.
