Your regular reminder that the litmus test for integrity and due diligence in medical leadership is their willingness to admit and remedy their failures. One who will not address their errors RE airborne transmission of COVID is negligent, dishonest, or both. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/19/s...
Lost Lessons
Dr. Green was echoing the words of William and Mildred Wells, a husband-and-wife team who discovered the threat of airborne germs in the 1930s. They famously protected children in Philadelphia schools from a measles epidemic in 1940 by installing ultraviolet lamps that disinfected classroom air.

“I believe that a provision of pure air for children (and adults) to breathe should be looked upon as of equal importance to the provision of pure water and pure milk,” Mildred Wells later wrote.

But she and her husband failed to sway their colleagues, and the threat of airborne germs went underappreciated for generations. When Covid hit in 2020, the World Health Organization emphatically stated that it was not airborne — which turned out to be wrong.

A new California law says all operating systems, including Linux, need to have some form of ID verification (which they’re calling age verification) at account setup. This makes absolutely ZERO sense if you have even the most basic understanding of technology
pcgamer.com
An upcoming California law requires operating system providers to enforce basic mandatory age verification
It's basic, and by the looks of it, near unenforceable.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance.

But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain.

He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again.

He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.
