Genuinely begging you to re-up your MMR & get your kids vaccinated if you can. Between this & Kennedy talking about breaking it up into separate vaccines thus providing opportunities for missed inoculations &, thus, increased infections, public health policy is not looking great, for the foreseeable
South Carolina schools recently sent home unvaccinated kids to stem a growing measles outbreak. It turned out 5 of them were infected and, if they'd been at school, could've unwittingly spread it to their classmates for days.
That kind of precaution is now illegal in Idaho.

Ughhhh but the taste in my mouth after eating and irritating all the tiny sores 😵💫
So while maybe I wouldn't have chosen to be home all week with hand foot and mouth, I don't hate hanging out with Ms Four all day and going for walks in the deserted parts of Prospect Park and doing just enough course prep work to not completely panic

NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."
WH claims 'inflation tamed,' per DoorDash stats. Company says that's not in its report.
It comes the same week we learned the WH would likely not release key economic reports for October.

An AI company estimated that producing a single page of text using their model uses about as much water as growing a small pink radish. Applied to OpenAI's ChatGPT, that calculation would make Sam Altman the equivalent of a farmer harvesting a trillion radishes, writes Henry Throp.

We are certainly facing a lot of systemic problems which should not be individualized, but at the same time, I believe that academics hold a certain amount of power, and it is worth being thoughtful about how we use that power, including the framing of our work.
