Durham County Public Health: redeeming my faith in public health for 6 years (and counting).
Lots of people will be returning to work and school from the holidays tomorrow, and lots of people are sick. If you’re not feeling well or have tested positive for a virus like the flu or COVID-19, please help protect yourself and others by staying home, or wear a mask if you have to go out!

If the oligarch tech-bros have convinced trump that he can occupy and "run" a foreign country using nothing more than drones and AI - no hundreds of thousands of boots on the ground soon to return home in flag-draped coffins - then boy is he in for a sorry surprise.

I grew up watching Eric Sevareid's commentaries on the CBS Evening News. He's probably rolling over in his grave right now at Bari Weiss's shirtless himbo Tony Dokoupil saying CBS Evening News has listened to academics and experts too much.

Fleeing academia back in Y2K was the smartest move I ever made. But I was in a tiny minority then. Today, the trumpf regime's brutal NIH grant-funding calculus (only 4-5% of applications get funded) is driving hordes of US biomed scientists out of the field. China & Europe will be the beneficiaries
I don't think you non-science people realize what it takes to get a grant funded by NIH. Started experiments in Sept 2021 to generate 3 new mouse mutants to model human disease. Prelim dara shows they have relevant disease phenotypes worthy of study. Need a small grant first to characterize /1

This is a crucial line from Mamdani
Mike Johnson-for one-is very polite. Yet his policies will likely kill millions of Americans. Cutting Medicaid and failing to extend the ACA subsidies alone will cause over 51,000 to die. Per year
He should be forever hiding in shame. Instead-he’s House Speaker

Eric, just once don't give good advice, OK?
People age 70+ should not be taking aspirin at any dose for prevention. Results of randomized trials show higher risk of all-cause mortality, major bleeding events and deaths from cancer. p 153, SUPER AGERS book

just so it's clear: this is the exact core function of genAI
Fascist government and climate deniers love it because it can produce the aesthetics of knowledge without any actual tendency towards truth. It is automated denialism.
Shame on every climate scientist promoting its use (there are lots)

Bob and I were among the hundreds of researchers that were supposed to conduct the 6th U.S. National Climate Assessment. Now it looks like they're gonna produce it with a few people and Grok? Communities need rigorous and accurate information about climate change. This will put communities at risk.

What we have here is the apex of human blending technology: MIL's 1970 Osterizer Galaxie Dual Range 14, still in daily use after 55 years. Its 14 speeds include stir, beat, puree, cream, chop, whip, mix, mince, grate, blend, shred, grind, frappe, and liquify. They don't build 'em like this anymore.

She helped pass a bill—which is 100% part of liberalism. Maybe you don’t like the bill. Maybe the bill will hurt some people and have bad outcomes. But that’s part of liberal democracy.

It's The People of Earth vs The Ogliarchs. If you look very closely, and stop looking at other humans thru filters, you will see that it's not color, nor possession of "currency markers", but rather size of heart that elevates amongst ourselves. You'd realize that we have all we need, and the power.
It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.
It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.
Millions are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up.
The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.
