Americans are insane to put their children at risk. This from 1962, prior to the vaccine.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.” Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

Public libraries are amazing! Did you know you can borrow a book from any library in the country and return it to any other library? Did you know they have subscriptions to huge amounts of national and international media that you can access?

I think about the reasons people fall for health grifting. I have an amazing rheumatologist who helps me jump over the hurdles and getting the best treatments. So few people even have a diagnosis, a treatment that works, a doctor willing to help them get it and insurance that will cover it.

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭 It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where *everyone* cared about their job and serving others.

This is absolutely cruel. Most of these healthcare professionals work are short-term hires. This will decimate these services and increase the burden of student loan debt on these dedicated people.

25 years ago measles was declared eliminated in the United States due to the success of vaccination. In 2024, there were outbreaks in 33 states, 90% of which were in the unvaccinated.

Nine of those infected were hospitalized and more cases are likely, health authorities said. U.S. vaccination rates for measles are falling, according to the CDC.

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

I once read about speed dating nights at public libraries for each person discussed their three favorite books and what they were currently reading. Might make for fun at an indie bookshop near you.

At salaries well below those of the private sector. Outsourcing these positions to private firms is not efficient.

This also includes *veterans*, including, I am told, at least some fully qualified wildland firefighters with actual fire experience. Per a source with knowledge: “I want everyone to know that they are firing veterans, fully qualified and trying to serve their country again in civil service.”

This would be insane, during a time when we have cut off the immigrant workforce. We already face unprecedented shortages of healthcare workers. Do they really believe what RFK Jr. said about AI and telehealth being as good as human beings? This will devastate rural hospitals.

A government building without a tenant is almost worthless as a sale. The government leases 10% of the office space in DC, 6% in Kansas City, and large amounts elsewhere. Mass terminations will harm fragile markets and trigger more defaults: prospect.org/economy/2025...

Literally all they’re doing is a private equity play. They need these offices so they’ll have to rent them back putting further strain on the budget and justifying further cuts (while their friends make money on the deal)

Physicians need more than an ultrasound machine. They need a referral network for specialists and a hospital affiliation. When rural hospitals close due to Medicaid cuts, this will become even more difficult.

Since JD Vance just converted to Catholicism 5 minutes ago, he might not know this: the Pope authoring a letter where he goes out of his way to correct you, specifically, is considered "bad" in the Catholic tradition

“Rapid Word Blender” is a great way to think of LLMs. Speed over accuracy, words without context, and random results based upon how long you churn it. Kind of like a kale, anchovies and marshmallows fluff smoothie.

My mom started a career in chemistry in the mid 70s and her employer didn't even have ladies bathrooms in her building at that time. My mom is a total badass and she deeply influenced my own love of science growing up. She was never an activist really, she just, did it, and ignored the haters.
