To combat bird flu spread, other countries have authorized poultry vaccines. The U.S. hasn’t, amid political and economic pushback.
Without a vaccine, experts say the virus poses an escalating threat: “The minute it transmits to humans, it’s done.”

As long as I'm posting about Jackson Road, here is my favorite part of the bike lane. Going West toward Zeeb, the bike lane crosses the right turning lane, but cars can still also turn right into the cycle lane from the middle lane. Worst of both worlds. #sciotwp

CA governor Gavin Newsom vetoed both of the major AI bills on his desk that Silicon Valley meaningfully opposed—one making it illegal for bosses to use AI to fire workers with no oversight, one requiring chatbot sellers to ensure their products do not harm children before marketing to them.
Silicon Valley's capture of our political institutions is all but complete
The tech lobby kills off two key California AI bills, and why it matters. Plus: How Sam Altman played Hollywood with Sora 2, organized mass social media deletions, and more.

i think the point i often want to make is not that people shouldn’t be alarmed or scared, fear is a very reasonable response to what’s happening.
more, i want folks to see fascist pronouncements as they are: battle plans, not accomplished facts, and as such reveal opportunities for resistance.

I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night.
All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.

1. It's shutdown day, and anti-trans provisions are on the line... either today, or in a few more weeks if a clean continuing resolution passes.
Trump posted a video this morning blaming a shutdown on trans people and immigrants.
Here is your shutdown guide.

Gavin Newsom is anti-trans and I will never, ever vote for him.
Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader?
I will never vote for Gavin Newsom anyone who thinks trans people are actual humans will follow suit.

Car ran a red light at an intersection I was crossing tonight. I think Main and Miller? I was in the bike lane headed West and the car was headed South. No collision, just scary. I have lights and lots of reflective gear, and I am certain the car had a red light/I had green and walk.
