Just caught up w/ @ericidle.bsky.social chatting w/ @latenightseth.bsky.social a conversation that did not mention Idle’s age (83) & being “too old” for his work. Refreshing to not encounter ageism, which is so prevalent (& corrosive).

Over 5 million people have lost SNAP benefits in the last year because of the cuts in Trump's Big Ugly Law. Cuts that were made to give tax cuts to the rich. I relied on SNAP growing up, and I won't stop fighting to cancel these cuts. www.cbsnews.com/news/snap-be...

Re-posting so anyone who might get this from my puny TL might read it. I haven’t yet. But I did read about Pierre Damas Bel and his life and the trauma he lived with (including trying to “succeed” in America) until he didn’t. And I wondered about the driver. It is trauma ➡️ trauma ➡️ trauma ➡️ trauma …

Prasad, Makary and others who claim that COVID19 vaccines killed 10 children are not telling the truth. According to @jeremyfaust.bsky.social, the committee that worked on this question reported that there were ZERO deaths that they were certain were caused by the vaccines. Well worth reading.

insidemedicine.substack.com

Scoop: FDA vaccine chief’s memo cited 10 pediatric Covid-19 vaccine deaths—but the agency’s own analysis found 0–7.

Dr. Vinay Prasad circulated a memo before FDA scientists finished their work. His conclusions overshot what the agency’s own analysts ultimately found.

I chose not to read (all of) that narrow-minded screed fr/ Powell, b/c Kelly McWilliams‘s perspective allows for nuance. It is cogent, creative, & humane; & it invites others to understand that their identity is exactly that: theirs. I don’t need to be dissuaded from that, in all its variety.

"Police said the bicyclist was not wearing a helmet." Who cares? A bicycle helmet isn't designed to protect cyclists against cars. "At this time, speed, drugs or alcohol do not appear to be contributing factors in the collision, police said." Speed is absolutely a factor, to the 2nd power.
