If only there was a way to prevent such things. Oh wait, we've known how to SAFELY AND SUCCESSFULL prevent measles for over 60 years! Also it's free to all children (at least in most places). www.who.int/news-room/sp...

Watching powerless from Europe how democracy is crumbling in the US, reminds me of those movies where someone is mind-controlled by an alien or ghost. I want to yell: "America, we know you are still in there. If you can hear us, you must fight. YOU CAN DO IT. FIGHT THIS!"

I am pleased to report that my 16 y/o is learning unexpectedly practical things in school. I was unpleased to know how practical this was: "Did you know that we are living in a dystopian society right now?" "Well, shit."

Control
• A strong central authority controls politics, the economy, and religion
• Propaganda is used to control citizens
• Citizens are under constant surveillance
• Citizens are forced to conform to uniform expectations
Loss of individuality
• Citizens are deprived of freedom and independent thought
• Citizens are deprived of positive human qualities or basic human rights
• Citizens are forced to conform
Other characteristics
• Citizens do not realize they are being oppressed at first
• The natural world is banished and distrusted
• Societies are engaged in forever wars
• Societies are characterized by extreme social and economic class divides
• Societies are characterized by mass poverty
• Societies are characterized by environmental devastation
• Societies are characterized by anarchy

My first post on Bluesky. #READI (Research in Europe and Diversity Inclusion) has launched. 🎉 It was surreal as I had written the initial proposal 3 years ago. We wanted to drive systemic change as a collective focused on making it better for all trial participants. We see it becoming a reality.

I find it interesting that the kindest, most peaceful people, those who keep to themselves and genuinely wish others well, are quickly labeled as crazy once they’re pushed to their breaking point. And yet, no one stops to acknowledge what drove them to that place.

Notable disparity with indigenous (#AIAN) and Pacific islander (#NHOPI) populations (vs census, at least). One way or the other, this is concerning.

I was just DMing with someone who didn't have a bsky domain verification (but I actually know them) - and all of a sudden I was worried the account was fake. Got me thinking that it would be really cool if there was Linkedin <> Bluesky identity cross-validation... @jay.bsky.team

Fun fact: Cyber Monday is when the Holiday Narwhal picks up his CyberTrucks 📐 📐 Then, on Narwhal Day (Christmas Eve Eve), if you've been weird enough, he replaces your favorite car with a CyberTruck. If you listen really carefully, you might even hear him scream "No Backsies!!" as he flies away.

In a world where we are systematically taught to hate and envy, we should sit in gratitude for the people who have the courage to love: to love themselves, to love us, to love our joy, to love the human right to love. If you are one of those loving people, then I’m sitting in gratitude for you.

In my opinion, HPV vaccination rate in the US is at great risk due to incoming politics. Why? Because the parents of a patient inherently need to accept the possibility of sexual activity. The protection against cancer is a strong motivator, but will it be enough vs "abstinence" ?
