“Healthcare personnel often do not realize that in the U.S., HPV-related mortality far surpasses the mortality from tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis & meningococcal disease combined. Each year, about 4,000 deaths are the result of cervical cancer; most are preventable through pre-exposure vaccination”
Technically Speaking: Why HPV Vaccination Before Age 11 Years Is a Good Idea
Dr. Sean O’Leary, Chair of AAP’s COID, explains why AAP and CDC recommendations about HPV vaccine differ.

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

Trump never had reasonable concerns. Other people did. He did not
Donald Trump had reasonable concerns about how Joe Biden’s relatives enriched themselves through his service. Yet his own family is making the “Biden crime family” look small-time

I want us to hang on to the fact that the people who were murdered were just civilians out in boats, most likely fishermen, who had never even heard the sketchy conclusions of American officials for which they were executed, much less had a chance to defend themselves.
Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

Even when killing is necessary for security—and this wasn't close—it should be serious, forced by circumstances.

the transphobia on display here is vile and also the point, but you can’t convince me it’s missing the forest to note that the university has accepted the premise that student assignments are protected by the first amendment in the sense of being protected from a bad grade
Oklahoma University has placed a grad student instructor on admin leave for failing a psychology paper on gender for citing *the Bible* as a source of empirical evidence.
In response, OU has placed on instructor on admin leave citing, get this, the FIRST AMENDMENT.

Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

Grace's father had dentures because his own teeth had been knocked out in WWII by a rifle butt wielded by a downed Japanese pilot they were trying to rescue. The pilot attacked because he believed the propaganda that the Americans tortured prisoners of war.
Before the earth cooled, I remember a senior chief telling a bunch of first-year midshipmen, including me, that we'd do our best to rescue survivors in the water, even if they were just shooting at us a minute before; we don't hasten their demise, or do any of those stupid war-movie-revenge things.
