I wish all figures of authority cared about moms and babies. But some don’t. Some even want you to hurt. And those are the people who cast doubt on the vaccination miracle that has allowed so many of us to live longer and better.

What a terrible, irresponsible headline. The answer is infection is *far* more of risk than vaccination.

Do not be lulled into thinking that the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 has abated. The general situation of unrestrained spread continues to be alarmingly dangerous, with contagion, illness, and mortality rampant everywhere. Maintaining the utmost caution is still an absolute necessity.

It’s time for my bi-annual plea to give up on standard or daylight saving time and go back to local solar time, to once again put our circadian rhythms in sync with the sun. lloydalter.substack.com/p/its-time-t...
It's time to dump Railway Time and War Time and go Local Time
Time zones are anachronistic, unhealthy and unnecessary in this modern world.

With Donald Trump's government shutdown halting SNAP food benefits, California is stepping up.

We've fast-tracked $80 million to food banks across the state and deployed hundreds of California National Guard service members to help make sure Californians in need don't go hungry.

Glad to bring the "little CPC that could" to the Healthy Indoor Air event at the UN today. The conversation in clean air are moving in the right directions.

Open source hardware will be part of the solutions and proud to show off the OpenCPC as part of tools that can help us measure it.

There are no winners here, only losers. If only we had a single-payer system instead of relying on useless middlemen, this would not even be a thing.

Here's a perfect encapsulation of our broken healthcare system.

United - the nation's largest insurer, and Ascension - one of the largest hospital systems, could not come to an agreement, so starting today, 1,000s of patients are going to have to find new doctors and new places to receive care.
