Greetings from the path from Prague to Stará Boleslav, where Czechs (and at least one Englishman) are gathering in honour of that "good king" from the carol. For the day that's in it, here's a new piece about why his name in English has an N, but not so in Czech. dannybate.com/2026/09/28/g...

Good King Václav
Every September 28th, thanks to a brutal fratricide over a thousand years ago, the Czech Republic gives itself a day off. The victim of that crime was Wenceslaus, ruler of Bohemia from 921 to maybe…

A series of tweets that reads "we didn't have a measles outbreak until we let in four years of millions of people pour over our border" 

"I live in Honduras. We vaccinate" 

"I live in American we can choose if we want the shot or not" 

"I know and that's why you have measles and we don't"

I really wish people would make the connection between this sort of thing and men like Larry Nassar. Society just seems to want to make girl’s sports a site of mass sexual abuse because they’re afraid of a handful of trans women. It’s horrific.

And as I've been tracking, it's been eight months since Trump admitted a single refugee into the United States (Biden admitted 100,060 in 2024; white people from South Africa don't count.) There is now no longer a legal path for non-white people to become a U.S. permanent resident or citizen.

Let me be exceptionally clear: the reason why minorities are consistently better served, across the world, by central and anonymous exams is because they are better served by a fair assessment process, and not one in which they are the victim of either witting or unwitting bias.

I made the comment "I'm back with cherry tomatoes" when I was on a call and bringing back some snacking tomatoes and someone said it was like getting back together with an ex and then I drew it and this is it.
Bill announcing "I'm back with cherry tomatoes" and he has his arm around a tomato-themed dog . Like he has green hair like the top of a tomato. He's red like a tomato. That is the joke I think. Is this funny? I hope so.

Endometriosis takes nine years to diagnose. That’s about to change. NICE has approved two tests: a saliva test reading microRNA markers, and a gut-sensor test returning results in 45 minutes, sparing women the keyhole surgery currently needed. buff.ly/QX3jHk8 #ShareGoodNewsToo

Anosmic! Kid I went to grade school with had that. The term is more clinical than deaf or blind because anosmia is less disabling and doesn’t tend to affect the way anosmics can communicate with other people, so it doesn’t come up much in conversation/pop culture.

In case you were wondering WHY someone would mail their scabs, the earliest inoculation available for smallpox involved grinding up the scabs and inoculating someone with a scratch on the skin. This method reduced the fatality rate from 30% to about 1%. 🧪 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variola...

you know we talk a lot about how americans struggle to understand the dynamics of bigotry in other countries don't map on perfectly onto theirs but it probably doesn't help that in the last couple hundred years racism really has become, ironically, very globally homogenous relative to before

A shirt design that says "you may go to hell, i will go to geocities.com/coolhorsepics"
there are multiple computer windows open with various drawings of horses on them, with captions saying "there is no suffering here. All free. All beautiful. Running through the open fields."
At the bottom it says "a world without pain, a world of horse."
