Poem: for a student to use AI to write a paper 
Now I let it fall back in the grasses. I hear you. I know this life is hard now. I know your days are precious on this earth. But what are you trying to be free of? The living? The miraculous task of it? Love is for the ones who love the work. 
—Joseph Fasano

RFK Jr. says cancer screenings are too 'woke' now. As an actual doctor, I disagree. | Opinion RFK Jr. is considering dismantling the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. This would be a disaster for public health.

Many of us are alive today because of medical screenings. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

This is an incredibly difficult read, but essential, if you did not know these details when they came out, you need to read them now. @katemanne.bsky.social transcribed this testimony.

The contents may be very upsetting to some. Please take care of your mental well being.

Keep sciencing. We are living through a time when looking at a rock and wondering how old it is qualifies as an act of resistance.

How many little kids right now meant to grow up to become scientists, academics, artists, may never get the same inspiration we did just by turning on TV for free, because we used to agreed as a society that was worthwhile to offer everyone
