ADULTS get boosted too, especially if you work with kids
This was a requirement for working in orphanages....in Romania....in the 1990s. Measles & mumps both were rampant. I've seen whole rooms of kids with measles and it is the worst. THE WORST. Do not want to see this happen to anyone again.

EV bus needs:
One mechanic in the East Bay of SF told me he has to figure out how to work a dozen+ different *types* of electric buses as every town, city or municipality bought different makes, models and manufacturers and there's no standard & transit agencies end up with patchwork fleets

Itβs really happening:
135 E.57th St is a large office building thatβs been mostly vacant since the pandemic.
And now it is going to be converted to housingβ350 units, including affordable.
4+ million sq. ft. of conversions are now underway in Manhattan. Letβs keep this going.

I loathe these drone as first responder programs that send a drone out to essentially every 911 call, I think they're basically a sneaky and extremely poorly-regulated excuse to create persistent surveillance, and you should AGGRESSIVELY push back if your community tries to start doing this shit.

ICE raided two Asian supermarkets simultaneously and in one confiscated paperwork, necessary documents and shut down the business.
They even harassed the shoppers.

I think it's really worth noting that this concentration camp was opened one month and three days ago.
This woman saw enough horror in that time to quit and tell the public what she saw.
Which suggests that it's not as bad as we think, or as bad as we can envision from her descriptionβit's worse.

Ron Deibert is absolutely the voice that the infosec industry needs to be listening to right now. We are in a moment where fascism is consolidating power and most of the infosec industry is either playing along or is busy bragging about how much AI they've shoved into their products.

Aside from my R&D, I'm an interfaith chaplain for people & worked with many wisdom events. I've run into EA & crypto-colonialism at events from Bay Area to TX.
What we've seen with rationalists in public = self-centeredness that lacks compassion & or empathy, lacking joy or humanity.

This is tied up in the idea that in the United States there are no poor people, there are just temporarily embarrassed millionaires (to quote Steinbeck). The right in the US has done very well in selling the myth of the American Dream, and mostly to the detriment of those dreaming of it.

Applebaum on Autocracy
Anne Applebaum warns that Sudanβs descent into chaos shows what happens when institutions failβand why a free press is essential to prevent America from following the same path.
Anne Applebaum: "If American media canβt convey how dangerous this behavior isβfor our prosperity, for our health, for our democracyβthen American media will eventually cease to exist."
