Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

I know this is going to sound stupid, but it’s actually true. Disney has been on a crusade of devaluing the visitor and worker experience at the park for well over a decade. It’s palpable how little regard they have for their customers and their workforce. I hope this is a tipping point.

One thing to understand about most “Disney Adults” is that the parks have only gotten more expensive and crowded while offering less ever since they reopened in 2020 so it doesn’t take that much more to make people stop going. And the theme park forums are rightfully pissed about Kimmel

The American Meteorological Society's formal response to "foundationally flawed" DOE mis/disinformation report on #ClimateChange is excellent & timely. Frankly, I have been more impressed w/@ametsoc.org's ability to effectively meet the moment this year than other scientific professional societies.

As someone who has been on the business end of nationwide injunctions that I thought were improper, I find the question of what rules we should adopt for them to be genuinely hard. But yesterday's decision deserves massive criticism, for at least two reasons. (Thread.)

Wrote about beloved A’s greeter Gus Dobbins who passed away last week at 93. open.substack.com/pub/mollykni...
4:29 • 554) We will start with Gus Dobbins, who worked for the Oakland A's for decades, and who I had the pleasure of chatting with during the A's final home stand in Oakland last September. Here's what I wrote about Dobbins at the time: A's manager Mark Kotsay held his scrum in the dugout and greeted the dozens of media members packed in by saying "welcome to the jungle" with a chuckle. He said he wanted to keep his sunglasses on because he knew he would start crying, but then he took them off because he's a good sport..... Kotsay held it together until he started talking about the Coliseum workers, and then he began to cry when talking about Gus Dobbins, a 92-year-old doorman who Kotsay had known since he joined the A's as a player in 2004. Kotsay said he took a pheto with Dobbins, and it took a photo with Dobbins, and it will go on the desk of "whatever office" he occupies next. A photo of Gus Dobbins taken by San Fransisco Chronicle columnist Scott Osler on Dobbins' last day of work at the Coliseum. When I spoke with Dobbins, he diplomatically said he wasn't sure if he was going to go with the team to Sacramento, but that it didn't seem likely as the commute would be too hard on him. (In lieu of ripping A's owner John Fisher this is what most of the elderly employees at Oakland Coliseum said to me when I asked the same question, still comehow showing loyalty to an organization that had shown none to them). Dobbins died last week at 93. His death took my breath away, as the other person I trailed around the Coliseum during that final home stand was Rickey Henderson, who also died in December. I don't mean to imply that both of these men died of broken hearts. Dobbins was 93. Rickey was reportedly asthmatic and had health issues that the general public did not know about. But I do know that the A's playing in Oakland gave both of these men purpose, community, and a sense of place to go every day. Those things matter. And now the A's are gone from Oakland and these two men are gone from this Earth. It's grief on grief on grief for A's fans, employees, the media who saw them every. and for the 4:30 663 € . these men died of broken hearts. Dobbins was 93. Rickey was reportedly asthmatic and had health issues that the general public did not know about. But I do know that the A's playing in Oakland gave both of these men purpose, community, and a sense of place to go every day. Those things matter. And now the A's are gone from Oakland and these two men are gone from this Earth. It's grief on grief on grief for A's fans, employees, the media who saw them every day, and for the community at large. I doubt John Fisher even knew who Dobbins was, or cared. But we do. Rest in peace, to a wonderful human being who loved baseball, adored people, and whose photo will remain on Mark Kotsay's desk wherever his job takes him.

There's something abt Emil Bove's Nolle Prosequi filing that neither attempt to intervene has mentioned, but which is (IMO) super weird.

Bove says Adams has agreed in writing to dismissal w/o prejudice. But he didn't file that written agreement.
