Today's the day! POPCORN DISABILITIES is out. Due to a variety of factors reviews are in short supply so if you see it out in the wild this week and/or have a review PLEASE post it online (Goodreads, Amazon, etc.) and I'll be sharing them all week!

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

Judge issues major victory for due process in class action lawsuit, rules that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) can no longer detain immigrants without offering them a bond hearing. Everyone gets a bond hearing now.

Long considered lost media? I have it on DVD, you dumbfucks. I bought it FROM A MALL. Bandai released it legitimately in English. Did the world's dumbest AI write your article? Typing "red spectacles dvd" into the ebay search box too much work for you?

Everything is lost media when you're stupid.

big late breaking news: the market monitor for the largest energy grid in the u.s., covering much of the midwest and mid-atlantic, has called to block new data centers connections to the grid, saying current course of growth assures regular blackouts
No more PJM data centers unless they can be reliably served: market monitor
The PJM Interconnection’s market monitor urged the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to rule that large data centers can only come online if the grid operator can still meet reliability metrics.

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

every single person in this story is a monster but the only one I have seen sustained defenses of is Nuzzi and I think everyone doing so needs to sit with the fact that her absolute mockery of the entire concept of journalism has a large and growing body count

Folks, two things can true at the same time.

These 2 National Guard members should not have been shot, and it's a disgusting act of violence. And, Trump + Miller have deliberately deployed them to incite division { violence. That's part of Miller's plan. They have no reason to be in our cities.
National Guard members should never have been deployed in Washington, DC.

Live in the USA? KOSA and COPPA 2 have reared their ugly heads again

Laws like this will destroy queer and trans communities online, requiring government ID to see any content that a state thinks "may cause distress to a minor"

ACT NOW, DEFEND OUR QUEER INTERNETS! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Stop KOSA
KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!
