Love this photo. News about the HPV vaccine just keeps getting better. In addition to preventing cervical cancer, a new study found that HPV vaccines prevent precancerous lesions in vulva and vagina.

@karaswisher.bsky.social there was a very odd ad at the end of your podcast for a history podcast that “doesn’t make you feel bad” about American history. I realize that it costs to make your podcast—any options for ad free subscription?

15.7 million workers (≈ 10% of all workers) lived in households where someone participated in SNAP in the last year. (CBPP)
It's a SCANDAL that corporations get away with paying their workers poverty wages while taxpayers subsidize their profits!!

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages
