For the record, trillions were lost, panic gripped Wall Street., Main Street and the globe and all we got were phone calls. And we’re left with high tariffs that are still forecast to reduce growth and boost inflation. Doesn’t seem much like victory to me.

every damn time
Tweet by Molly White @molly0xFFF
it's always fascinating to watch grown adults discover the concept of public libraries for the first time
    
Quoted tweet by Ken Herman @kherman
Ponderable?

And do free people expect to read every book they want to read for free (at public expense)?

After all, many people who write and produce the books do expect a return on their effort and investment. 

Just a thought.Tweet thread: Molly White @molly0xFFF 37m
and when you decide to defund libraries because "people who can afford it can just buy the books", you restrict access to those who can't afford it

Ken Herman @kherman 21m
How about if we use those tax dollars to buy the books for those who can't afford them?

Molly White @molly0xFFF
congratulations! you have just invented libraries

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...
Who’s
running
this
country:
Donald Trump or
Elon Musk?
Since day one, Elon has created chaos and confusion and put our
livelihoods at risk. And he is accountable to no one but himself.
The Constitution only allows for one president at a time. Call Your
Senators and tell them it’s time Donald Trump fire Elon Musk

They left the dog. This civil servant, who deployed with wife & 3 kids to frigging KINSHASA (to support development of Congolese capacity to sell cobalt to not-China, which is a policy goal that sells itself) was told by US Marines to load into a raft with 1 backpack per person. They left their dog.

Americans are now one-third less likely to die from cancer at the same ages as Americans in 1990
How has the risk of dying from cancer changed in the United States?

To understand this, we can look at national cancer death rates in the United States.

The gray line shows the crude rate, which is the rate of deaths from cancer per 100,000 people. It has risen between 1950 and 1990 and has fallen slightly since then.

However, cancer death rates rise sharply with age, and the age of the US population has increased since 1950, so we would expect cancer death rates to rise for that reason alone.

What if we adjust for the increased age of the US population?

The red line, the age-standardized rate, shows this. It shows the cancer death rate if the age structure of the US population was held constant throughout.

This shows a slight rise until 1990 and then a significant decline; rates have fallen by one-third.

This means Americans are now one-third less likely to die from cancer at the same ages as Americans in 1990.

This comes from several factors: better screening and earlier diagnosis, medical advances in cancer treatments, and public health efforts to reduce risk factors like smoking and exposure to carcinogens.
