i cannot overstate how extraordinary it is for federal civil servants to do this
Host: There are new calls this morning for RFK Jr.'s resignation, and those calls coming from inside HHS itself. More than 1,000 current and former HHS workers are making this demand in a letter released this morning. They say his leadership has "put the health of all Americans at risk"

Public media plays a vital role in our society, from warning people in rural areas about natural disasters to teaching generations of children how to read and count with Sesame Street.
We can't cut funds for local TV and radio in retaliation for their perceived ideological leanings.

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing
Bizarrely framed article about the people (all women) who ‘refuse to use AI’. And a #philosophy professor who says “The moment to opt out of #AI has already passed”. Oh well. That’s that then. 🤷♂️ #AIEthics www.bbc.com/news/article...
The people refusing to use AI
Worried about the environment and the loss of skills, some people are resisting the rise of AI.

I want to scream this at every Canadian I see posting CDC information about measles outbreaks in the US.
THERE ARE MORE MEASLES CASES IN ONE CANADIAN PROVINCE RIGHT NOW THAN THE ENTIRETY OF THE UNITED STATES.
The way y'all make dunking on Americans a sport is wild. Clean up your own damn house!

There’s a measles outbreak in the Canadian province of Ontario that’s twice the size of the one in Texas.
Over 1000 people are sick.
Why isn’t this getting more media attention? People need to be informed of the risk & how to protect themselves.
Vaccinate, wear a respirator, isolate when sick.
