You Ain't Done Nothing (If You Ain't Been Called a Red)

"Well you ain't donе nothin' if you ain't been called a "red"
If you've marchеd or agitated, you're bound to hear it said
So you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
Cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red"

Jesus Went to Heaven

Jesus went to heaven
With an AK-47
Then walked right up
And kicked in the pearly doors

Then he preached the ways
How we should ostracize the gays
Went and blew away
The immigrants and poor

NPR threads post on a headline for a story talking about how the public's opinion of health insurance is mostly a Hollywood construct

yes yes the problem is clearly Hollywood, very astute

Dr. Peter Hotez is fighting false assertions that vaccines cause autism & the implausibility of vaccines causing autism based on studies showing how the neurodevelopmental process of autism occur before birth. We NEED believers in SCIENCE as head of HHS!

Thank you, Dr. Hotez for everything you do!

Paul Alexander, lawyer who lived for decades with an iron lung, dies aged 78 Polio survivor, recognised as ‘longest iron lung patient’ after using one for 70 years, became an inspirational figure

Paul Alexander lived in an iron lung for decades after contracting polio as a child. He died THIS YEAR. We only just put polio in our rearview window, and yet now politicians are contemplating bringing it back. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

RFK Jr.’s Lawyer Has Asked the FDA to Revoke Polio Vaccine Approval (Gift Article) Aaron Siri, who specializes in vaccine lawsuits, has been at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s side reviewing candidates for top jobs at the Department of Health and Human Services.

The anti-vaxx movement is still relatively small, and still mostly a movement of mothers. Yet three men sit atop it all.

Kennedy is the name.
Del is the dazzle.
And Siri, without a doubt, is the brains.

Trump to discuss ending childhood vaccination programs with RFK Jr. U.S. President-elect Donald Trump in an interview published on Thursday said he will be talking to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his nominee to run the Department of Health and Human Services, about ending childhood vaccination programs.

So in November, there were a few Democrats (e.g., Polis, Booker), some pundits (e.g. Wen, Oster, Bedard) doing maybe-he's-got-a-point-two-step with RFK Jr. How's your guy doing now? It was a mistake to indulge him then and still is now. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Love it. Curious to see the code as well if it's available.

Teach the controversy!

As to my personal opinion, I advocate applying some time for transparency law on all social media companies. Maybe something similar to technology parents, but with a much shorter time horizon. You get to operate in the dark for so long, but eventually we all get to see how the sauce is made.

I also think it's worth wondering in our current era if some type of regulation is needed. I'm not arguing specifically for this specific one, but I also don't think our founding fathers could quite imagine the reach and scale of our modern Internet.

"On Freedom...

You shall be free indeed when your days are not without a care nor your nights without a want and a grief,
But rather when these things girdle your life and yet you rise above them naked and unbound."

1/2 I have always found Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet to be inspiring and a guide for me. I first read it when I was about 13, and have read it maybe 20 times in my life. Each time I read it, with new experience and context, I find something else that touches me in new ways. To pick a quote now:

As someone surrounded by either QFCs or Safeways, I'm thrilled with this decision. Inevitably this would have led to some store closures, and less competition in many areas of the country.

M. bovis, the bacterium causing bovine TB, can also infect humans & give them TB disease

The most common way in which humans get infected by M. bovis is from drinking raw milk or other unpasteurized dairy products

For the love of all that is good, please don’t let RFK Jr get anywhere near HHS

Just finished the Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley. I found it a refreshing take on time travel. It reminds me a bit of the Norwegian tv show #Beforeigners in some respects. Definitely worth a read for any #scifi or #timetravel fans.

YouTube video by Dr. Glaucomflecken My Thoughts On The United Healthcare CEO Murder

"2 things can be true... Murder is bad, that even bad people who do bad things don't deserve to be executed... It can also be true that UHC is an evil corporation that has caused pain & suffering to millions of people over the years."

Well put, @glaucomflecken.bsky.social

Thinking a bit extra, it would be great to have some type of truth and troll score for each account to know how often they speak or engage in misinformation, falsehoods, or antisocial type of behavior

I feel like a combination of community notes type feature and throttling users after each time they post something that is false or misleading seems like a good start.

Nobel Laureates Urge Senate to Turn Down Kennedy’s Nomination Elevating Mr. Kennedy to secretary of H.H.S. “would put the public’s health in jeopardy,” more than 75 laureates wrote.

More than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.
