If it’s a story about a fossil fuel heiress and an anti-vax crank, you know I’m quoted in it 😂 Great reporting by Walker.

Canadaland recently hosted anti-vax contrarian doctor, Peter McCullough, in what he claims was a focus on media, but which really turned into a science-denying sh*t show. www.conspirituality.net/episodes/328...

MAGA Drazen would be horrible for Oregon. The problem, as often happens with Democrat leaders, is that Kotek has been completely unremarkable (looking at you, too, Keith Wilson). www.opb.org/article/2026...

OPB poll shows Oregon governor’s race virtually deadlocked
The poll shows Republican state Sen. Christine Drazan with a slim lead over Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek, though it was within the survey’s margin of error.

You can tell how much the MAHA movement values women (aka MAHA Moms) by looking at the speaker list for this week's MAHA Summit: 49 men vs 7 women.

As critical as I am of MAHA and its perverse incentives, the answer is not industry lobbying groups funding influencers. "GAHA" is NOT the way to fight misinformation. (Yeah, that's the acronym some are using.) www.theguardian.com/business/202...

We're covering McCullough's appearance on Canadaland on this week's Conspirituality. He touts being certified by the National Board of Physicians and Surgeons, a pay-to-play org for physicians who don't want to go through the Maintenance of Certification process run by a legitimate governing body.

I have a small couch in my office for power naps. Incredibly, every time I try to take one (especially on a day like today, when I’m dealing with a head cold), someone comes downstairs and aggressively sniffs me until I make room for him.

Some investigative reporting is as relevant and important as ProPublica (which I love). They just have a ton of other sections and a much larger workforce. I go do without the "what can $1M buy you in Bedstuy" articles for sure, but there's still a lot of important work going on there.
