So much fun at the ceremonial start & meeting the Queen 👑 ! #iditarod #UglyDogs #Qditarod

A fascist opened fire on people of colour in Trappes and Verriere near Paris, killing one person and injuring 5 more incl a 12 yo girl who was shot 8 times. He opened fire at a children's playground and a hijabi woman. He also shot dead a young black man. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

I’m out walking the dog and I just ran into some of my mother’s neighbors who said they were ‘reverse trick or treating’ handing out goodies. It’s a new neighborhood and that’s such a cute idea to get to know people.

It is a devastating and shameful set of circumstances that the police force in Guinea-Bissau, one of the poorest counties in the world, has had to take action to stop a predatory, unethical experiment on infants from being done by Danish scientists who are funded by the US—and Bill Ackman.

I really think that in 10-15 years we’re going to look back on legalized sports betting the way we do the opioid crisis

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

Idk who needs to hear this but you should vote EARLY if you have that option where you live. Do not wait for Election Day. This is an A+ list of voting tips from @lwv.org. It is time to lock in

Blair Braverman is an extraordinary writer. Sharing a gift link before I've read the piece is kind of peak Kathy. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

$1,000 just in increased energy costs for US households, not counting the costs of the missiles, the deployments, lost service members and aircraft

It's going to be quite a visual to publicly execute a man in a wheelchair by firing squad.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

I think people should listen to what the administration trying to bring back spectacle lynchings, race riots, and middle passage-esque deportation voyages are trying to tell you about themselves. bsky.app/profile/bren...

Well Amazon got me there

cool option for at-home flu vaccination!

has anyone seen this? i might check it out tonight

I will simply say I am seeing exactly this situation play out right now in a different field. Work that would have taken about 3 weeks start to finish via traditional methods is now into week 6 and still in what amounts to first draft territory

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

Good afternoon

CDC offices "in Angola and South Sudan closed Thursday, with the office in Zimbabwe set to shut its doors at the end of the year. Current and former CDC officials told POLITICO they expect more than a dozen other foreign offices will follow in the next few years."

The confirmed #measles count in Pennsylvania has topped 1,000. Important to note that confirmed cases make up only a portion of all cases, especially given infections among PA's Amish community probably do not come to public health's attention in many cases. app.powerbigov.us/view?r=eyJrI...

When Trump made campaign stops in 2018, one paper estimated that it sank 15 GOP candidates. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Exactly. I am tired of seeing the “I always knew”/“their work was actually bad” takes whenever allegations emerge. Sometimes—often, actually!—bad people find their way into good spaces and make good things. And you’re not better than the folks who were taken advantage of for “always knowing”

You should just be able to find your little niche in the world & stay there comfortably if it’s what makes you happy. That’s literally all being human is about. Just hanging out and doing something helpful. We made up all this other shit and it’s making everyone miserable, bc there’s no finish line.

7/ All that said, the flu is already starting to pick up unusually early this year, especially in the West. So I wouldn’t wait until October to think about it. If you haven’t gotten your flu vaccine yet, now is a good time to schedule it for maximum protection.

probably my favorite ever massachusetts memory is being drunk in boston with my then partner, and another drunk woman approaching me, screaming and hollering that i should not marry the guy from boston. she was right btw

LOL: Flock sent a letter to the mayor of Lowell complaining about comments he made during a city council meeting about how Flock sells data. Flock claimed that it does not sell data, but the mayor responded by pointing out that Flock advertised this feature to Lowell.

Get your fall vaccines! For the next 24h, drop any infectious disease and/or vaccine related questions in response to this post, and I will do my best to answer them. Answers are for information only, NOT medical advice. #AskAnIDDoc September 2026 edition.

This is Nazi rhetoric. Not similar. Not Nazi-like. It’s straight up lebensraum.

This is the Stolen Neighbors Quilt. Each of the 11,000 squares represents a person taken by ICE in Minnesota.

The war has started in Ethiopia. This could easily become the worst human catastrophe of the century. I wrote this in February. The situation has become more complex, and more dangerous. shurkin.substack.com/p/the-loomin...

(Again, this directly refutes an increasingly popular policy frame that says primary prevention of spillover through nature-based solutions is a more equity-oriented solution than investment in healthcare or action on political determinants of inequity such as vaccine nationalism. It's just not.)

1: For every hour you travel from the nearest clinic, the odds of detecting an outbreak decreases by about 1/3. 👉 For policymakers: the best thing we can do to catch and intercept spillovers before they become epidemics is build rural clinics and pay for diagnostic machines and supplies.
