I really am not trying to scold anyone (I know that's not effective). And of course I understand that Jews are going to care more about the thing that directly impacts us. It just feels so sad and scary and lonely sometimes, man.

We study pandemics, and the resurgence of measles is a grim sign of what’s coming Controlling the spread of many infections, including measles, depends on trust in public health, which is eroding.

Two researchers who study outbreak preparedness and response at Brown University’s Pandemic Center view the return of measles in the US as a grim signal of what’s to come.

Because how a country controls measles is a proxy for how well it would control many other diseases.

No pay wall.

Tweet from Ryan Grim: "Understand what Neera is arguing for here: she thinks that no Democratic candidate should appear on any podcast where a host has flirted with conspiracy theories around Charlie Kirk and Israel. I don't think she understands how many podcasts that includes.

And if you make the opposite argument, and say no, actually, tens of millions of people love those shows, Democrats should be on them, she says I'm "defending anti-semitic conspiracy podcasters." The good news is that this stuff doesn't work anymore. Save your breath, nobody cares."

I really don't think "There are so many antisemitic podcasts out there that you just can't help but appear on them" is the defense they think it is.

Hey guess what Wonder Bread Slice’s company is doing!

They are buying up nursing homes.

These white supremacists with no empathy will be in charge of caring for at least some of the elderly in our population.

Everyone knows our offensive capabilities are unrivaled. No surprises there.

One thing that worries me is that we’ve failed to learn the lessons from Ukraine.

Warfare has changed, and we’re behind the eight ball. We should have been pouring money into counter-drone technology.

We’ve never, ever had this before. A President completely untethered to truth. I mean completely untethered to truth. That’s such a bad thing. But you know what’s even worse? Way, way too many people don’t care. And way too much of the media no longer cares.

For anyone who still has ridiculous dreams of the 25th Amendment being utilized for the fucking potato in the White House, just think about this:

Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."

Harvard first claimed Lanier had no legal standing to reclaim the photos. She persevered, ultimately securing the first legal victory of its kind: a descendant of enslaved people successfully repatriating cultural property connected to their ancestors. #BlackskyNews

Remember when Elon allowed Trump supporters to post AI generated fakes accusing Kamala Harris of shit during the 2024 presidential election and got little or no pushback from white moderates and leftists in the Democratic Party?

Well, they're doing it to Moral Orel now.
