Because I'm a nerd, I often think about how King Edward VI got infected with the measles which wiped out his immune system. He immediately caught smallpox and both infections helped activate a latent case of tuberculosis. He died of TB a year later. The boy king could have used an MMR vaccine.

"As of October 2026, 28 states and the District of Columbia required employers to grant employees time off to vote." The 28 states differ in if the required time off is paid or unpaid, AND some states require time off PRIOR to election day for early voting. Knowledge is power! VOTE!

I realize it often feels like nothing matters anymore, but a comedian going on SNL and calling women whores— calling the ordinary women he sees at the gym *whores* — because of their clothes matters to me. It’s really gross, and I’m glad Levy said something.

Some people continue to be on X and feel a need to justify it publicly just like how some people like working at companies and organizations that are well known to treat women and people of color terribly. It is sad but predictable, because of capitalism.

New open-access paper: Direct File showed that govt could build its own user-centered platform without relying on contractors. But the product was killed after a DOGE lead spoke with the private tax preparation industry lobbying against a private option. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The ability of governments to build and sustain public interest capacity partly depends upon the position of private interests, and the ability and willingness of a government to resist private interest opposition.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) built a digital tax reporting service, Direct File, that created significant public value for users.
Direct File depended upon the creation of internal capacity: a government digital service team that could build digital platforms, rather than procuring a product from private vendors. Government control of the process allowed agile development and iterative improvement that would have been impossible under a traditional outsourcing model.
Long-standing opposition to Direct File by the private tax preparation industry, combined with Trump-era downsizing by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led to the elimination of the tool.
