Drugmakers plan to raise U.S. prices on at least 350 branded medications — including vaccines against COVID, RSV and shingles, and the blockbuster cancer treatment Ibrance. That’s up from the same point last year, when drugmakers unveiled plans for raises on more than 250 drugs.

Gender — and restrictive gender roles — are core to authoritarian projects. Society uses concepts of gender to sort people. Data both reflects and imposes these social definitions. Some notes from a speech about this last week: buttondown.com/stetdele/arc...
