With science falling under increasing attack, this medical historian is here to remind people of the power of #vaccines. THREAD🧵

Hard-hitting polio advert from 1958. In the first half of the 20th century, polio was the leading cause of death in children and young adults. 1/7
An advertisement for the polio vaccine which reads: "they all got vaccine except dad...don't take a chance...take your polio shots!" It depicts a photo of a family gathered around a father who is in an iron lung.

Thanks to Karen Hao's brilliant book Empire of AI, I learned that potable water is the only type of water that can be used to cool data centers.

Saltwater or wastewaster isn't useable.

#RomanSiteSaturday: The architectural perfection of Timgad, Algeria, is consistently striking in photographs.
The Colonia Marciana Traiana Thamugadi was founded in 100 AD. Its plan, laid out with great precision, is Roman urban planning at its best.

Baby chicks were never an appropriate Easter gift for children, but especially not now with the spread of Bird Flu. 🐣 Get a toy chick and sponsor a rescue bird instead! www.merrymacfarmsanctuary.org/meet-the-birds
A pastel colored graphic comparing the cons of real chickens versus the pros of toy chicks. Text is as follows: Real Chickens Catch and transmit Bird Flu Have sharp beaks and talons Need lots of space and special housing to protect them from predators (and wild birds carrying Bird Flu) Poop a lot Even the hens can be very loud Are prone to numerous ailments that require treatment from specialist vets Stuffed Chicks Don't catch or spread Bird Flu Require no space at all Soft and cute Live forever Don't poop Don't eat Don't peck you Don't cluck loudly and screech Never need to go to the vet

1. Stop assuming people announce all their activism on social media.

2. Stop demanding people announce all their activism on social media.

3. Stop deriding people for not announcing all their activism on social media.

4. Dunking on people on social media isn't activism and isn't praxis.

I like paying taxes. Genuinely. Not grudgingly. I can’t pave a road, I can’t build and staff a hospital. $200 in my pocket won’t pay for my kid’s daycare but if we all pool our money it might. I really wish someone on the left would be brave enough to be like, “Taxes are good, actually.”

I've been watching a series called Transformed, where alt fashion people try new looks, and it's super wholesome and everyone talks about how great they feel in their usual get up and how strange and foreign it is to dress more normal.
Lots of people just supporting each other. More please.

Ask yourself:

Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this?

Why would any decent human being do this?

A cartoon of a woman looking at her computer monitor. The title of the cartoon is "Peak Operational Efficiency." Quote bubbles coming out of the monitor suggest numerous emails with contradictory information and instructions. "You're fired!" "NO - WAIT! Never mind!" "Back to work!" "Send your manager FIVE accomplishments or you're fired!" "No don't!" "Send five or you're fired!" There's an additional chat bubble coming from the monitor with an apparent headline that reads, "Thousands of fired federal workers called back to work." Finally, there is a cell phone on the desk, and the caller is asking, "Hey...do you still have a job?

This bronze head of a griffin - once an attachment for a cauldron - was discovered to have been stolen from the museum at Olympia in the 1930s. It's been in the #MetMuseum since the 70s, and it's back in Greece for now, but part of a long-term loan to the Met. 🏺 #ancientbluesky

7th c. BCE. 📸 me
Bronze cauldrons set on tripods or conical stands were among the most spectacular votive gifts dedicated in Greek sanctuaries from the eighth to the sixth centuries B.C. Cast-bronze griffins' heads often decorated the cauldron rims; they projected outward from the shoulder of the vessel on long necks made of hammered or cast bronze. Some of the dedicated cauldrons were colossal. The Greek historian Herodotus describes one made for King Kroisos of Lydia that could hold 2,700 gallons and another dedicated on the island of Samos that was supported by huge kneeling figures. Over six hundred bronze griffins' heads from cauldrons are known today; most have been found at the sanctuary of Zeus at Olympia or at that of Hera on Samos. This enormous head is one of the finest. The griffin has its eagle beak open, calling out, and its thin sharp tongue is curled upwards in its mouth. It also has a knob-like finial atop a stalk on top of its head and is missing one of its long upright ears. A very nice patina, part green, part orange, but mostly dark. You can see little feather patterns in the bronze if you zoom in.
