#nokings NYC

With all the news around Katy Perry going to space, I'm reminded of this great think piece by my old friend, @bardcollege.bsky.social Prof Jen Estruth from 2022.
"From the Gold Rush to the Colonization of Mars: How Silicon Valley Imagines Away the Working Class" www.computer.org/csdl/magazin...

Lol Instagram is not taking no for an answer. It's almost like their company is led by someone who supports a serial sexual abuser... Oh wait...

Thank you @bennet.senate.gov. RFK Jr is wildly unqualified and dangerous. He cannot be confirmed as HHS Sec.

He lies about NIH studies. He disregards the scientific method for his ill-informed hunches. He lives in a fantasy world.

Do not put him in charge of our health!

Go Bills! #billsmafia

Quick end of 2024 update to my MPox Risk of Spread Indicator for NYC.
File under: no news is good news.

I had renewed my tracking and analysis earlier this year as we saw higher case rates than 2023. Since widespread use of the JYNNEOS Mpox Vaccine is still relatively new, it wasn't entirely clear if we would begin to see cases rise due to waning vaccine effectiveness after a couple of years.

I've been keeping an eye on NYC #mpox cases this year. Here's my risk of spread analysis updated with November's data. I'm happy to report there's no change and risk of spread remains low.

Repping the sheet metal workers union local 19. I got this shirt from union members in PA while we all worked to get out the vote for Kamala Harris. Remembering the diverse coalition that worked to protect American values of economic opportunity, equality, decency, and democracy gives me hope.
