On my way to Sydney where I’ll be giving a talk called “Dr. Glaucomflecken’s Really Fun & Incredibly Uplifting Guide to US Healthcare.”

The takeaway message: do the opposite of the thing that we’re doing.

Everybody (me included) is getting bogged down on the details of events at NIH et al. Fatal mistake. The big picture is Musk/Trump are trying to shut down all gov-funded Medical/Disease research in the US. Have to understand that to have any hope of stopping it. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/act-now

A team of volunteer archivists has recreated the Centers for Disease Control website, called RestoredCDC.org, as it appeared the day President Trump was inaugurated.

"I felt that we could restore any data sets that people might not have access to anymore because these were publicly funded data."
Volunteers revive pre-Trump CDC website
Restored CDC provides the same critical data and information and user experience as the previous CDC website.

Who pays Trump's new tariffs?

Spoiler alert: it's not Canada, Mexico, or China.

It's YOU. https://youtu.be/AfVGUiet39E?si=UEYERynxqVk8ORMZ

What’s happening with the US government reminds me of this story (great book btw):
Libertarians took over a town in NH in 2004 and gutted its services, cut taxes, etc. Less than 8 yrs later things had gotten so bad that black bears were breaking into homes and killing people for the first time ever.
The Town That Went Feral
When a group of libertarians set about scrapping their local government, chaos descended. And then the bears moved in.
