The post today has been absolutely bloody brilliant 😊

My (signed) copy of @lydiajane13.bsky.social's latest work has arrived. It's absolutely glorious and a much important addition to the historiography of RAF Bomber Command.

One of Norway's largest fuel companies just announced that they will no longer refuel US Navy vessels after Trump’s treatment of Zelenskyy.

“It made us sick... We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example.”

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.
The average person with the flu gives it to around 1.4 people. The average person with measles gives it to between 12 and 18 people.

Measles cases continue to surge globally, putting millions of children at risk.

Before listening to this episode I had never hear of Thomas Gray or Donald Garland. Such a brave and tragic story, it also shows how the war decimated families. I cant even imagine the grief the Garland family must have gone through. Powerful Stuff, great episode.

If I were Canadian PM I would immediately:

1. Create a new $15B science fund

2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada

3. Immediate permanent residency

4. Citizenship after 2 years

Overnight a science superpower

The U.S. Air Force has removed a video about the Tuskegee Airmen from its basic training curriculum at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland following Trump’s executive order banning federal DEI initiatives. The Tuskegee Airmen were pioneering Black pilots renowned for their service during World War II.
