Telling Jesus he'll never make it if he keeps being so hostile to wealth. Advising him to moderate his message to appeal to the Galilee suburbs

How immigration enforcement is affecting a Framingham kindergarten classroom The Framingham school district enrolled 719 fewer students compared to last school year, a "significant drop," said superintendent Bob Tremblay. While there are other factors driving the decline, the ...

Empty seats tell the story of Trump's cruelty in Massachusetts. A Framingham kindergarten teacher watched seven of her students disappear this year, their families torn apart by ICE. We're fighting back - in court and everywhere else.

We need to CORRECT the RECORD. Markwayne Mullin is NOT a plumber, he is a failson who inherited his DAD’s plumbing business and he does NOT have any plumbing credentials or skill of his own

the biggest problem with polyamory is that it increases the odds you could be in a relationship with someone who writes personal essays

This is one of those things that is less sexy to talk about but is unequivocally a war crime

God, how depressing

Jay Bhattacharya's behavior is entirely unsurprising, of course, but nevertheless it's dispiriting

Markwayne is actually a noble title, and is the Oklahoma equivalent to "Marquis," and may be passed on at the same time your father gives you his car dealership

Trump and RFK Jr are dismantling public healthβ€”aided and abetted by powerful doctors High profile physicians should be using their positions of power to resist Trump and RFK Jr’s damaging policies, not collaborating with them, say Gavin Yamey and Jonathan Shaffer President Donald Tr...

πŸ†• In a new piece in @bmj.com, @jonshaffer.bsky.social & I argue that the powerful physicians who lead federal agenciesβ€”e.g., the NIH & FDAβ€”should be RESISTING Trump & RFK Jr’s damaging health policies

Instead, they’re collaborating with them, aiding & abetting the harm

This is terrifying. As a former health services researcher, I shudder to think of the long term damage that will result from this.

I agree. These physicians took an oath to β€œfirst do no harm,” but instead they are willfully rolling out extraordinarily damaging, dangerous MAGA/MAHA policies in order to please their masters, Trump & RFK Jr. Power corrupts.

Letter from the public health director and public school superintendent about the measles cases in NC

Letter from the public health director and public school superintendent about the measles cases in NC

The director of public health and the superintendent of public schools here in Durham, NC, are not messing about

β€œIn the event of an exposure & your child does not have the appropriate vaccination documentation on file, it will result in the student’s removal from school for 21 days.”

This is so sad. That there has been a concerned effort by adults with MDs and PhDs to make opreciois children less safe from vaccine preventable disease.

Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism | Rutger Bregman As a historian, I’ve studied the major consumer boycotts of history. We can take down ChatGPT and send a powerful signal to Silicon Valley, says author and historian Rutger Bregman

"The most effective consumer boycotts in history share two qualities: they are narrow and they are easy," writes @rutgerbregman.com

sorry no I can not turn my camera on for this zoom meeting because I am the reincarnation of narcissus and if i see my own visage I will become consumed with it and stare obsessively at my own face until I die

Some days, a kid will come in with a hand drawn treasure map that he wants to show me and it will reset the emotional tenor of my entire week. I'm gonna keep going a little longer just for you, kiddo.

Working retail can really make you incapable of enjoying sitcoms. I've seen too many canonically broke characters wearing 3 new Anthropologie dresses every week

The use of AI to identify targets (without subsequent specific human confirmation) should be considered a war crime.

And by that I don't mean "we should make a rule" I mean that straightforward application of the existing rules would tell you that it is a war crime.

If Trump wants Zelenskyy’s help against drones, I think JD Vance to have to fly to Kiev, and sit in the Ukrainian equivalent of the Oval Office and say, β€œThank you.”
