1 in 5 children who have contracted measles in the London outbreak have been hospitalised.

None of them were immunised.

This is criminal child neglect.

Measles kills - and when it doesn't kill it can cause lifetime organ damage and infertility.

Every so often I see someone apoplectic that GW are offering older designs as made to order because they don't fit with the current look and I wonder what it's like to be spiritually barren.

Yeah same here. I've seen one decent post hoc argument for why Leto is in any way worthwhile:

Yeah that was me. I suppose, in Denis' defense, no one quite realised exactly how phenomenal an actor Big Dave was.

That old saw about how "good times make weak men" is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they're too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse.

I don't think a lot of people appreciate how much of their overall lifestyle and relative certainty is backstopped by a steady, boring stability of systems they don't understand or even realize exist.

True decadence looks like people who are three generations removed from the cultural memory of polio refusing to vaccinate their children against deadly communicable diseases because they don't like needles and don't think there will be any consequences, not queer

So much of our present crisis is coddled, ignorant, and short sighted people tearing down the institutions that protect them because they donโ€™t understand that bad things can happen.

The fact that Lyse Douchet's salary is lower than Mason's or Kuenssberg's shames the BBC.

โ€ข IOh
We just found out our AI has been making up
analytics data for 3 months and I'm gonna
throw up.

So we've been using an Al agent since November to
answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed
amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations,
everyone loved it.
I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this
entire time.
Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on
data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a
deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing
plausible sounding percentages.
I only caught it by accident when someone asked me
to double check something. I started digging, and
holy shit, it's bad.

Reminded that as long ago as 1939 the UK passed the Cancer Act, which banned the advertising of claimed cures for cancer. I think we should be equally tough on anti-vaxxers.
