Get on this. Now.
You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

One thing that @streamonmax.bsky.social really gets right is letting the credits play. No autoplaying a random movie the algorithm thinks is relevant to my interests (they never are).
I just watched SING SING and appreciate that I could just ruminate on the film as the credits & score played.

"The best and the worst thing about vaccination is that it 'makes nothing happen.'

A leading pediatrician was already worried about the future of vaccines. Then RFK Jr. came along
In a new book, pediatric infectious disease specialist Dr. Adam Ratner details the history of measles, a virus that’s often a bellwether for public health disasters.

I saw the Kanye ad yesterday (it aired in the Philly market, where we were) but didn't click on the link.
Today I found out it went to a website selling swastika T-shirts.
This was a Superbowl ad.
And it was to a website selling swastika T-shirts.
I feel like I'm losing my mind.

First dog park visit of 2025!
The air is better post-rain but I’m still a little nervous about spending too much time outside just a couple miles away from the Eaton Fire burn scars…

If you use Gen AI to manufacture images you are not a progressive
Oh please please i am begging, don't use generative AI for any reason if you can avoid it.
It's being marketed as a quick time-saver, but it's messy, inaccurate, it is putting entire industries of people out of work, and the environmental impacts (energy and water usage) are huge and debilitating.

Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place

Given that the current Administration has pulled us out of WHO and has prevented/gagged CDC and other U.S. health agencies from making any public announcements, it might be a good idea to wear a mask now. There may be no prior warning or alerts before the next pandemic.

New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.
No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.
And no indication how long the pause will last.

“In order to shoot off one email per week for a year, ChatGPT would use up 27 liters of water, or about one-and-a-half jugs… that means if one in 10 U.S. residents—16 million people—asked ChatGPT to write an email a week, it’d cost more than 435 million liters of water.”
AI doesn’t just require tons of electric power. It also guzzles enormous sums of water.

The Trump admin just ordered health agencies to stop all external communication, even health advisories.
The official who sent the order is named Stefanie Spear.
Who, I wondered, is that.
The answer: RFK Jr.'s former press secretary.
