I would say that if you're middle aged and not living in Texas, ask your doctor now whether you should get a booster. Don't wait till it gets to your state and there's some rush on vaccines.

Wrote up something about Techdirt's recent coverage, and why (whether we like it or not) we need to be a "democracy blog" now, rather than just a "tech" blog (not that we've ever been just a tech blog).

Gutting Section 230 would HELP giants like Meta & Google, who can afford armies of lawyers. It would devastate community-driven alternatives like Blueksy & Mastodon, and would enable widespread censorship.

Please look up the influenza epidemic of 1918-19 to understand that the CDC not selecting strains for next year’s vaccines sets the stage for a public health calamity that will, without doubt and at bare minimum, catastrophically and directly impact people you know. This is a five alarm fire.

Listen. This is important. There’s measles going around. Measles is the one and only thing (that we know of) that can erase your immune memory. It causes immune amnesia.
You have to rebuild all your immunity.
Go to your doc and get your measles antibodies checked. You do not want immune amnesia.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.
