WOW: "Covid-19 vaccines... set off a powerful alarm that rallies the human immune system against cancer and nearly doubles the median survival length of patients, according to a new retrospective study by researchers at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center & the University of Florida."
NEW STUDY PUBLISHED IN NATURE: People who got an mRNA COVID vaccine within ~3 months before or after starting immunotherapy for cancer lived longer overall than those who didn’t get the vaccine.

Fantastic — and actually quite heartening — interview with @histoftech.bsky.social.
And this is a great cross-cutting reminder to always keep in mind:
“It’s not inevitable…There’s always time to change things.”

The Cleveland Clinic defended its use of facility fees -- for instance, one woman my colleagues spoke to paid a $174 facility fee for a 15 minute meeting with a gastroenterologist -- as an “appropriate practice” www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
After Cleveland Clinic expanded to Florida, patients say surprise fees followed
Hospitals can charge patients hundreds of dollars in facility fees — even for routine outpatient appointments. Some residents of Florida’s Treasure Coast have had enough.

Public cloud, public social media, public dating apps. It sounds unhinged at first but tbh I think creating alternatives with no profit motive could have extremely positive downstream effects to every aspect of society.
Canada can see the costs of dependence on the US first hand. Trump is bullying us and Silicon Valley used his leverage to kill the digital services tax.
As the Canadian government looks for a new cloud provider, it shouldn’t just prioritize local companies; it should invest in a public cloud.

Airborne mitigations like air purifiers and increased ventilation work to reduce many contaminants that float in the air: wildfire smoke, SARS-CoV-2, measles virus alike. It’s not too late to implement these strategies in places where people gather. The need is only becoming greater
Frantic mom who’s baby was just exposed to measles at a day care—via an unvaxed parent—and now the day care is closed and everybody must quarantine for 28 days, after an emergency trip to…the hospital. This the RFK Jr future www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6LNEJHf/

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

the way calling for the deportation of any visible non-white person is rapidly becoming normalized is a huge cause for concern.

The path for Democrats is very clear: have good ideas, believe in them, state them clearly, stick to them, act decisively in support of these ideas, speak to the young half of the electorate, support other democrats who do these things. Follow Mamdani and Lander's example or fade into nothingness.

Important to note — this is in the second tweet in the thread — that the stop-work order is effective July 17, so the service is going away very soon but as of today is still available. The Trevor Project can also be reached directly: www.thetrevorproject.org/get-help/
Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.
