I’m struck by how close we’re getting to finally curing some of the world’s worst diseases—sickle cell, Alzheimers, pancreatic cancer, etc.—at the same time that the world’s worst people are destroying medical research and care around the world.

See this map? This map is why — when you call a friend in LA to say “Hey I’m gonna been in Los Angeles next week. Wanna get together?” — there’s a long pause.
Been getting a lot of people asking about LA geography concerned that the images they see means the entire county is on fire. That's understandable.
But LA is a big place. So, to give an idea of scale it's time to cart this out again. It's a map of LA with other cities superimposed on it.

Bluesky is such an echo chamber. I post a cat, everyone likes the cat. I post a bear, we are all ursaphiles. Where are all the people saying "why do you hate dogs?" Or "bears should go back to where they belong." I am being coddled.
