I'm an adult who had measles vax in the late 70s as my immunity from having measles as a kid went away - given our current anti-health czars, I was tested to see if if I am still immune - thankfully I am - but damn - the intentional stupidity in some states makes me angry

You and I have been online a long time, but it still surprises me that people follow back everyone who follows them. They think they're being "nice." It's time to stop that. It was time to stop that back in the early days of Twitter.
2/ Some of you still, unwittingly, follow these accounts back, which continues to floor me.
Watch for obvious signs, all have a similar look, same as they did on Twitter.
Often 2 American sounding names: George William. Selfies. Follow women. Pics of flowers, them w/ "their kids." Military, "drs"

Not going to any rallies today because none are really close to me and I'm not driving about an hour in traffic to the nearest one-it's not that I have never done this - I was at the 1967 March on the Pentagon as well as many other less notable ones - yeah - I'm aging ☮️ stay watchful!

I believe that whatever is in the Epstein files is far worse for the cult leader and many in Congress than we have imagined because Rs are going so far out of the way with distractions and vacations to keep it squelched.

Wow. Never thought of asking it about myself and my publications - now I am intrigued and will do so later tonight.
I’ve been getting some PhD inquiry emails that struck me as v odd so I asked ChatGPT to list my books. It came up w/four—all COMPLETELY made up, including on topics I’ve never written on. And these are the only ones listed! Lesson = please don’t use AI/LLMs when writing grad apps and inquiries &c

Per Reuters, Pentagon has informed European diplomats that the United States will partially halt military assistance to the Baltic nations and NATO member states bordering Russia.
The department stated that the decision is linked to the United States’ new priority — “homeland defense.”
