It feels like they're all just done with trying to pretend things are normal. Jeffries, this, and they've all seen the success of both Newsom and Pritzker

He's stuck in like the first five seasons of law and order. That seems to be how he sees the world. I do wonder if Ben Stone or Jack McCoy could convince Trump to change his ways.

They've got a lot of private sector partners too so it may be more efficient than we hope

and the have rather clear objectives! End recision and restore ACA subsidies. What's so unclear about that? And what's the point of negotiating a budget if there are going to be recisions?

This take is unbelievably stupid. The Animus is long-standing and reflects events from January to March of 2016.

I've looked at movement to her concerts (at NFL stadiums) and let's say the football games look like noise

Sadly whenever you try to play you have to install incompatible packages with pip. Meanwhile the R movie downloads from CRAN, takes an hour to compile, and is dull--but at least it works!

I’d hate to say something positive about teams but it tells you how many people are logged on before you join the meeting

The program I work for, @scifri.bsky.social, is one of the programs that WNYC Studios is offering free to affected stations. Heads up, station friends!

Genuinely a historic speech/monologue defending America and her true values against the fascists.

THIS is the kind of stuff that makes me proud to be an American.

If you live in NYC and have successfully managed to obtain a 2025 COVID vaccine for your under-12 child, I'd love to know where.

Arjun Srinivasan has figured out how to talk to this ACIP. Basically explain it at a kindergarten level.

Apparently there is a group of judges that have interpreted that expression as meaning that one cannot prove negative effects!

What Trump said is a fucking outrage.

It’s against democracy.

If Donald Trump has his way on this, our democracy is over.

With Hepatitis B vaccination under threat, here is one frustrating fact about testing for Hep B. It’s super complicated, based on multiple tests. I’ve often consulted this chart to interpret tests, and occasionally ended up in the dreaded β€œfour interpretations possible” section.

The ignorance extends to the top. I don't think RFK understands the impact of ACIP recommendations either

Didn't Malone say he didn't have any conflicts of interest? Apparently he has contracts that affect his participation in the MMRV discussion.

@theresthistory.bsky.social has a depressing series on how the Nazis coopted German culture in the 1920s and 30s.

Very distressing
