My challenge for the month of January is to not use my TV for entertainment. That means no movies, no television, no YouTube, and no video games (except for the one on my phone). Gotta give myself some space to make different decisions about my time, and hopefully most will be good ones.
I'm extremely angry today, it seems. Going to take a break, do something "creative," and forget the larger world for a few hours.

We are killing children all around the world because a handful of rich people who don’t understand the science think it is worse to be neurodivergent than it is to be dead.
U.S. ultimatum to vaccine group: No more funds unless you stop using thimerosal
This mercury-containing compound, used as a vaccine preservative, is commonly used in lower-income countries — and deemed safe. The U.S. is now demanding that Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance stop using it.

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

“A key figure in Alberta’s separatist movement said Premier Danielle Smith indicated to him that if the province goes it alone she’d stay on as its leader. And the title she’d prefer in the role is prime minister.”

I messed up, guys, I told everyone that if I drew my blade, it couldn't be sheathed again until it tasted blood, and now I've drawn it but I can't find my sword's mouth. Where does it taste the blood from? How small is this mouth? I can't just sheathe it again or everyone will know I'm a fraud.

I don't exaggerate when I say that Andrew Wakefield should be tried for mass murder. We'll never know how many people have died or will die as a direct result of his fraudulent study.
This is the large domino, with the small domino being some random quack in the UK in 1998 trying to undermine the existing MMR vaccine so his business partner can swoop in with his own. Instead he lost his work credentials and now kids are dying needlessly all over the world, so great job everyone.
Austria loses its WHO status as measles-free, too, together with Armenia, Azerbaijan Uzbekistan and Spain. This comes as no surprise, considering the rise in numbers in recent years and the decline in MMR vaccine coverage

As someone who is curently reading a 55-year-old book that tried to present cogent, thoughtful research on how countries and governments might handle drug policy -- a book written in Canada, that our federal government at the time ignored -- it is frustrating to see how little things have changed.

People from outside Ireland occasionally ask me, "Why is Bono, an international music titan from Ireland, not all that loved in Ireland?". The answer in its entirety is a complex one, but "He sent Dolly Parton a birthday cake and put his own name on it" goes a long way to summing it up.

If I were a PM who believed we were at a global rupture moment, upending decades of international order, and requiring totally new relations with the world, I probably wouldn’t cut my foreign affairs staffing and budget by 15%

Update: I successfully cracked and fried two eggs. I slightly-less-successfully cleaned the pan without splashing water everywhere.
Update: I can now touch-type at approximately 70% my normal speed with a typo only every ten words or so. Nature (my hands) is healing.
Update: i now have bandaids on two of my fingertips so I have a little bit more mobility and function than I did a week ago. I can bend them so they're not as stiff, and can pick up light but bulky objects. Effectively I have 1.2 hands!
