@vietthanhnguyen.bsky.social’s 2016 publication, “Nothing Ever Dies,” continues to be prescient a decade later. Same as it ever was. Here’s just one of myriad examples.

A passage from Pulitzer Prize winner and author Viet Thanh Nguyen’s, “Nothing Ever Dies”, published in 2016 stating, “A century later, his poem may as well describe my war and its aftermath in our current American wars in the Middle East.”

Instead, I have to open up my morning health and biotech newsletter and read about, “far-right influencers”. Brandolini’s Law strikes again.

Gee wow, a factual headline for once.

A pharma news headline that states, “Adjusted ACIP agenda omits anticipated votes, revives talks on vaccine ingredient erroneously linked to autism” which is surprising that they would use the factual and reality-based word “erroneous” to describe the best scientist knowledge regarding thimerosal usage in vaccines.

Thank you Apple Photos for accurately selecting a highlighted photo for, “My Time in Massachusetts”

Wow sorry, I meant to say, “popular vaccine critic”!

Insane headline describing mRNA crank and self-described inventor of mRNA technology Robert Malone as a, “popular vaccine critic”.

Yeah man, the guy who incredulously claims that 17 million people died because of the mRNA vaccine is just a “critic”!

News headline that states, “RFK Jr. installs vaccine critics on CDC panel” even though the so-called “critics” are fucked up cranks high on their own supply of Dunning-Kruger.

A little thread for myself as I track notable passages while reading Viet Thanh Nguyen's, "Nothing Ever Dies"

Book cover for Viet Thanh Nguyen's, "Nothing Ever Dies". A masked Vietnamese woman is biking across the road with a passenger on her bike just out of frame. The backdrop is a stark yellow painted building.

A punishing defeat tonight at our first run on the campaign.

A kitchen table set up with four players’ worth of cards for the game, Aeon’s End.

It’s all blatantly illegal but you need to get five paragraphs in to read that, oh well, some democrats think this isn’t constitutional.

Don’t like the results of a report? Call it woke.

“Instead of woke reports, new UNH leadership should focus on developing students who are ready to be civil, successful, and productive members of society,” Ayotte said.

“After all, they bought a lot of blood filters - and at a cost of about a thousand dollars each, with revenues of $45,000 per round of treatment, why would they stop?” www.science.org/content/blog...

There has long been a romanticized vision floating around of what medical progress would be like if only the bureaucrats and paper-pushers would get out of the way. There is talk of an "invisible graveyard" of patients who died before the slow, painful process of regulated medical research could get around to helping them. And you know what? They're right - up to a point. If you just look at the successful treatments, then yes, you can say that If Only We'd Sped That One Up we would have saved more lives. But too many of the Invisible Graveyard people don't do the full bookkeeping on all the stuff that doesn't work (or worse, makes people worse). The clinical trial system contains those failures and isolates them from the general population of patients, while at the same time providing real evidence for their failure and thus solid reasons to go away and try something else.

Zuck throwing “Lean In” Sheryl Sandberg under the bus to appease the Santa Monica fascist sure is something www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/u...

Mr. Zuckerberg blamed his former chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, for Facebook’s culture, according to one of the people with knowledge of the meeting. He said new guidelines and a series of layoffs amounted to a reset and that more changes were coming.

You killed and maimed your beloved pets by feeding them raw milk, however you’re pretty sure there’s some health benefits in there somewhere! This feels like a microcosm for the national-scale stupidity ahead of us. apnews.com/article/raw-...

Text passage that reads, “Journell has recovered physically but said he’s still suffering from the “mental anguish” of losing his pets. Despite the ordeal, he said he still thinks raw milk offers some health benefits.”

Cheers to the start of a new and wasteful social media journey. I wonder what value *this* company will extract from me?
