The @sfchronicle.com headline says all you need to know: Prop 38 is one of the most noxious deposits on California’s political dung heap in years See www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/edit...

There's an interesting and dismaying timeline here, in which the company, the FDA and USDA identified the problem weeks ago but no public recall of the tainted chicken wraps was ordered by the government. The information they've shared appears to be due to excellent reporting by @usatoday.com.

Umm - no Meta I do not want to turn my brain MRI into a crayon masterpiece.

Yes and I don’t see the point of turning a photo of my shelf of jam jars from over 10 years ago into a 3D animation. What a waste of resources.

JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

I have been getting a LOT of text spam pushing CA prop 38 and this is just a reminder that that is happening because prop 38 is designed to give some rich dude's pet institute four billion dollars

READ THIS: This billionaire’s initiative would very likely send $4 billion to a nonprofit that he founded. The nonprofit is supposed to lead California on health research. However, it only had three employees last month, despite agreeing with UCLA to have more than 50 by last year. My reporting:

Absolutely NO on Prop 38

I used Dinolite digital hooked up to my laptop overseas for my dissertation, cheap, easy to use, easy to travel with, I was looking at very sharp edges, worked well. www.microscope.com/dino-lite-am...

Yup. 100% this.

I'm usually 100% for new science funding but a definite NO on Prop 38. There are plenty of currently functioning Immunology labs at CA universities and biotechs that should be able to compete for state money, not just a billionaire's institute with no currently employed scientists.

Nothing to see here ...

If California voters approve this proposition, half of all the money would go to one research institute. That institute's and its principal funder contributed $61.2 million to persuade voters, vs the $8,800 from those opposed. Solid work by CalMatters. calmatters.org/politics/ele...

I'm a doctor and a dad. I rebuilt Detroit's health department, led Wayne County's Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services. We put glasses on kids, took on corporate polluters, eliminated medical debt. It just shouldn't be this hard to get by in the richest country in the world.

Immunology Institute Could Get $4 Billion From a Ballot Measure. It Has 3 Workers. www.medpagetoday.com/publichealth...

The science research institute that would likely receive $4.2 billion in public taxpayer money if voters approve Proposition 38 this November had only three employees as of last month — far fewer than the 51 staffers it planned to have hired by last year.

Anyone have recommendations for a decent, not too expensive, digital microscope for amateur home use to look at things like diatoms, tardigrades, fungi, etc?

Prop 38 in California is just so bad: calmatters.org/politics/ele...

As a publicly funded biomedical researcher, you might think I'd support California's Prop 38. But no. It appears to be quite the boondoggle. Here's one (of a few) solid bits of reporting on it.

CA Prop 38 - also see CA League of Women Voters - they're a NO on 38. lwvc.org/ballot-recom...

As a biologist, I'm strongly against Prop 38 here in California. It makes no sense for billions to go to one unnamed research institute. Vote no.
