In a nearby galaxy the battle has resumed over the placement in books of citational notes—which of course go in the back; only adorable digressions are set as actual footnotes—and I am STAYING OUT OF IT.

About this Florida vaccine story:
When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.
We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.
“Oh, they’d have died.”

I'm reading Everything Is Tuberculosis by John Green. Should be required reading for high school students. Not for what it teaches about the disease but what it teaches about how society thinks about the disease and how that changes and affects outcomes.

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family.
I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

Cool. The Dems should also change bylaws to have every state's presidential primary on election day in Nov 2026. That gives the nominee two full years to campaign and gets more voters to polls in the midterm. Bonus: do it with ranked choice voting.
