#Andor is basically a modern miracle. A generational creative talent, $500 million, full artistic freedom, years of time, and a beloved pre-existing world, all coming together to produce something transcendent and beautiful.

The greatest threat to ocean biodiversity in the past 50 yrs—more than climate change or plastic pollution—is unsustainable fishing. So countries around the world have been creating marine protected areas.
But in the US, 47 is undoing marine protection.
A marine biologist explains, No pay wall.

Trump is stripping protections from marine protected areas – why that’s a problem for fishing’s future, and for whales, corals and other ocean life
America’s marine protected areas help fish populations thrive. Trump’s plan to open them to industrial fishing may ultimately harm the fishing industry itself.

A friend of mine asked: what makes a decision good? Surely it's not the outcome. And how would you even define "good" in that context anyway?
I responded:
I agree you shouldn't judge a decision by its outcome, but I'd substitute the estimated outcomes you can predict with information you have.

One of the lesser-known things about measles is that beyond just the rash and misery that it brings, it also kills a lot of your immune system's memory. So after you get measles, most of the natural immunity you had to other things is just gone.

My friend tells me that in the US, a bunch of work in "Point of Care Ultrasound" (ultrasound in non-dedicated rooms, like bedside care for for heart patients) has been canceled because someone searched for "POC" and that literature has it all over the place.

A friend asked me if, when a woman says "no", you should persist or not. I responded:
Both are sometimes the right choice.
Sometimes it's better to persist, and sometimes it's better to just listen to the "no".

Today I learned that there's a practice called "V-coding" which applies in American prisons where trans women prisoners are purposely assigned as cellmates to violent cis male prisoners in order to keep the overall violence level of the prison down.
