Canine lover, sketcher. Those in charge now think they can create reality, but there is a physical world we live in that is unresponsive to human mythologies. Favorite read, Reading the Rocks: Autobiography of the Earth by Marcia Bjornerud

If Ellison were smart he’d realize he doesn’t need CBS News anymore - its reputation is destroyed and the future of broadcast TV is nil. Close it, fire Weiss and give 60 Min to CNN to save

This is why my eyes roll when anyone says “MAHA wants to do something about chronic diseases” No, it doesn’t MAHA’s leaders, RFK Jr & Jay Bhattacharya, run the US health & health research systems & they have DECIMATED chronic disease prevention What MAHA *says* is divorced from what it *does*

The conditions on the USS Abraham Lincoln, which is stationed in the Middle East, are so poor that sailors have tried to jump overboard. Trump also gutted the VA, firing thousands of workers who are veterans themselves. Remember this when Trump and Republicans claim the mantle of patriotism.

So, Trump wants to make the MMR vaccine into three vaccines? Let’s see, three separate trips to the pediatrician, three copays, more missed work, and more missed appointments, leaving kids not fully protected from measles, mumps and rubella. None of it supported by scientific evidence.
