I’m so sorry that happened to you. I know just exactly how it feels. Here to tell you you are not crazy, you know your body better than anyone else. Not that that really helps, but…

When AI was added to a tool for sinus surgery: “Cerebrospinal fluid leaked from one patient’s nose. In another… a surgeon mistakenly punctured the base of a patient’s skull. In two other cases, patients suffered strokes after a major artery was accidentally injured”

85,000 Pennsylvanians have already dropped their health care because of Republicans' refusal to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. That's nearly 20% of the entire program in PA.

While Trump gives tax breaks to billionaires, he's leaving working Pennsylvanians behind.

It *sounds* considerably less gentle and sweet, but in reality there is very little contact.

Big is teaching Little how to play nicely. But mostly, it’s fun.

With Congress preparing another vote on the SAVE Act, advocates warn its documentation requirements could make registering to vote more difficult for millions of women—threatening both access to the ballot and progress toward gender parity in political power.

The SAVE Act Is Back—and Women’s Political Power Is on the Line

As Congress revives the SAVE Act, new proof-of-citizenship rules could reshape voter registration in ways that burden women voters.

Ppl think about health equity, too, in terms of blame, deservingness, etc. IOW, the language of public health has no special moral force. It makes those of us inside it feel better, perhaps, but to accomplish anything externally we need to dig into the underlying moral case. 2/2

Julia Lynch @jlynch13.bsky.social · 1d

This is wonderful.

I came to the politics of public health from working on the politics of inequality. I thought that surely people would be less tolerant of health inequalities than of inequalities in eg income. That turned out not to be true empirically, of course … 1/2

Little would have gone back to sleep at 6, but Big wouldn’t let him!!

Fortunately the coffee cup is empty

Julia Lynch @jlynch13.bsky.social · 1d

Exactly. Big (who is 11) could keep doing this all day, or so he thinks. But then the moment he stops he crashes — while Little takes a 10 min cat nap and is then ready to roll again.

If you liked the Bad Bunny show and visual representations in Puerto Rican art, my newly tenured friend Nico Ramos Flores has a forthcoming book: "Archipelagoes of Longing: Puerto Ricans, Resistance, and Memory." It examines PR visual/literary culture as it relates to oppression, migration, & trauma

for my latest @us.theguardian.com talked to teens leading and joining anti-ICE walkouts from TX to MD to WI.

one NYC teen: "I feel scared [of ICE] every day... But I’m not going to let that stop me, because bravery is just the positive way to say you’re scared, and I’d rather be brave than scared."

These are the high schoolers taking a stand against ICE: ‘You can’t let despair take over’

Thousands of students across the US have been walking out of their schools to protest ICE in their communities

If you are looking at 100 whistles and thinking "I don't know that I could give that many away," one of our group members (who is incredibly involved at all levels) has written a guide for how to use whistles as a catalyst to talk to and organize your neighbors.

The dogs are (maybe?) winding down after an extended play session this morning. They were up at 6 and started rassling almost immediately. Perhaps I will actually get some work done when they fall asleep!

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

VC, founder, dumbass

@Nick_Davidov
Asked Claude Cowork organize my wife's desktop, it stated doing it, asked for a permission to delete temp office files, I granted it, and then it goes "ooops"
Turns out it tried renaming and accidentally deleted a folder with all of the photos my wife made on her camera for the last 15 years. All photos of kids, their illustrations, friends' weddings, travel, everything.
It's not in trash, it was done via terminal It's not in iCloud, it already synced the new file structure.
She didn't have Time Machine.
Disc recovery tools can't see anything.
I called Apple and they pointed me to a feature in iCloud allowing to retrieve files that were saved before but are no longer on iCloud Drive (they keep them for 30 days).
I'm now watching it load tens of thousands of files. I nearly had a heart attack.
