Open Street Maps might be seeing some trouble according to their LinkedIn, as further attacks on open data increase. OSM has been absolutely critical to public health and public service tools for years. #MapSky #geography

Screenshot of a LinkedIn post from the OpenStreetMap account marked “URGENT.” The post asks for technology journalists to cover a story about new risks to open data. It explains that OpenStreetMap is experiencing unprecedented bot scraping activity: instead of a few IPs making very large numbers of requests, there are now hundreds of thousands of coordinated IP addresses each making a small number of requests, making blocking ineffective. The post quotes senior site reliability engineer Grant Slater, who says OSM is being hammered by scrapers using residential proxy or embedded SDK networks, creating real costs for the volunteer-run project. Hashtags include #opendata, #OpenStreetMap, #AI, #Bots, and #Abuse. The post ends by noting the irony that OSM data is free to use, yet these bot attacks pose an unnecessary risk to the entire project.

Remember when the CDC (the organization, not the actual scientists who are in general sensible and trying to help) had any shred of dignity left? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Can't believe this is on an actual CDC web page. Autism probably caused vaccines, not vice versa.

A webpage titled ‘Autism and Vaccines’ showing a section labeled ‘Questions and Concerns – Page 2 of 9.’ It is marked ‘For Everyone’ with a date of Nov. 19, 2025. Below, a light blue box contains key points, including statements claiming that the idea ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not evidence-based and that studies suggesting a link have been ignored by health authorities.

This shouldn't really come as a surprise, but even for the party of "facts and logic", claiming talking points that would get them laughed out of a 5th grade classroom is really low. Number of Washington people who died due to a covid vaccine: 1-3. Number who died from COVID: >15,900. C'mon now.

$Alt text: Screenshot of an X (Twitter) post by “Washington State GOP” (@WAGOP, blue check). Text reads: “The Covid vax killed more people than it protected. It didn't prevent infection or transmission. How much is #BigPharma paying @GovBobFerguson? Washingtonians would really like to know.” It tags @TheJusticeDept, @AAGDhillon, @SecKennedy, @POTUS, and @P\_McCulloughMD. Below is an embedded post from Governor Bob Ferguson (@GovBobFerguson) saying the West Coast Health Alliance issued winter virus vaccination recommendations for COVID-19, influenza, and RSV, with the preview truncated (“Show more”). A cropped image underneath shows a headline about governors (Ferguson, Newsom, Kotek, Green) announcing coordinated winter virus vaccination recommendations through the West Coast Health Alliance and a partial quote beginning “Our states are united in putting science, safety, and …”.$

🧪 Ever hear of Data Sonification? It's a way to represent data alongside or instead of visual graphs! Check out this neat demonstration we've made for a community science fair: codycarmichaelmph.github.io/Data-Sonific... #DataViz #Science #ScienceArt #Leaflet #SNAP #CommunityEngagement

"Interactive map titled 'Data Sonification in Action: King County SNAP Retailer Map,' showing King County, Washington, divided by ZIP codes with varying shades of purple indicating the number of SNAP retailers (0–4 stores in lightest purple, 20+ stores in darkest purple). ZIP code labels are overlaid on the map. A legend on the right explains store count colors and an 'Audio Instrument Mapping' box shows how different store types correspond to musical instruments (e.g., grocery store = bass, supermarket = lead, farmers and markets = piano + synth). Below, audio controls include blue button 'Play All Tracks Together' and red button 'Stop All Audio.'

This month, our edition of Community Experts is an interview with our own @rowantsp.bsky.social ! They share their experiences and struggles in trying to get some answers on an unknown chronic condition, and the challenges faced. www.broadlyepi.com/community-ex... #MedSky #PublicHealth #Disability

A surreal, abstract painting featuring a small, humanoid figure in a red outfit with yellow hands and a green face, outlined by a bright blue glow. The figure appears to be raising both arms, standing against a vast, dark, almost black background with subtle hints of deep blue. The figure's expression is ambiguous, possibly distressed or surprised. At the bottom left corner, there are two handwritten signatures in cursive style. The contrast between the vivid colors of the figure and the dark void-like background creates a striking, mysterious effect.

Not Public Health Related: In dark times, sometimes we need a laugh at the person causing us the most pain. One of our lovely acquaintances heard that ol' Donny boy had an unfortunate incident with some mashed potatoes in his youth, so, we had it drawn. The artist wishes to remain anonymous.

This was NOT meant to be an ideal business plan, insurance companies.

In case anyone thinks this Siri character is just a lackey, here's his list of "accomplishments" from his firms page on the congress.gov site: shorturl.at/3AbfT Even if he's kicked out of advising the new admin staff, his whole firm/allies to it is a ##PublicHealth threat. #vaccines #MedSky #EpiSky

screenshot displaying two sections titled “View Representative Civil Rights Examples” and “View Representative Class Action Examples.” Under the Civil Rights section, bullet points list various legal achievements related to challenging vaccine mandates (such as COVID-19 and flu vaccines), compelling the FDA to produce vaccine licensing data, deposing leading vaccine specialists, petitioning international courts over vaccine-related issues, etc.

A pair of Keeshonds looking slightly away from the camera while laying down next to each other, panting with slightly closed eyes. They are both grey, white and black fur and quite fluffy. The one on the right has an orange tennis ball with blue highlighting on it, and they are laying in a large grass and clover field.
