The U.S. government is now inarguably spreading medical disinformation that is going to kill babies preferentially.

Period.

This is an INTOLERABLE. UNPRECEDENTED. DANGEROUS. ATTACK. ON ALL OF US.

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

First they came for AWS
And I did not speak out
Because Canvas was down and that was fine by me.

Then they came for Cloudflare
And I did not speak out
Because I didn't need the textbook website.

Then they came for GitHub
And there were no more internet services
For me to use to get work done.

Celebrating Rosalyn Yalow on #WorldDiabetesDay.

Yalow, a physicist, co-invented a super-sensitive test (radioimmunoassay, or RIA) that uses tiny amounts of radioactive tags to detect exact levels of insulin in blood--& won the 1977 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for it. #WomenInSTEM

"Like everyone who loves books, Carson felt at once awed and aggrieved that there was more to read than could ever be read, and that to choose to read one book was to forsake the chance to read a different one."

Lovely sentiment about Rachel Carson from Souder's biography—she's clearly my kindred

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle.

Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger.

Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.

She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.
November 11, 2025 at 7:40 PM
Exactly
Mike Johnson refused to swear in Adelita Grijalva for 7 weeks after she won her election by about 40 points. Mitch McConnell refused to give Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, even a hearing for most of a year. Sen. Tommy Tuberville blocked all military nominations for 10 months /

America’s veterans, especially our women veterans, deserve lawmakers who do more than just say “thank you.”

We are fully committed to fighting for veterans’ ability to live safe and healthy lives.
