โ€œEmbarrassingโ€ and โ€œhorrifyingโ€: CDC workers describe the new vaccines and autism page "The best way I can put it is it feels like we're on a hijacked airplane."

New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like:

โ€œThe best way I can put it is it feels like weโ€™re on a hijacked airplane.โ€

โ€œI think people are starting to see that we canโ€™t fulfill our mission here.โ€

In reversal, Coast Guard again classifies swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The new order came hours after The Post reported the service would instead classify such symbols as โ€œpotentially divisiveโ€ under guidelines set for release next month.

Cheers to the person who leaked the initial changes www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I really, really strongly encourage you to watch Aaron's clips of the Trump-Mamdani meeting, not just read his recaps.

This is a totally different Trump than we ever normally see. It's wild to see him like thisโ€”and Mamdani is the one who brought it out in him. There's a lesson here.

I missed the first time that he actually said "yes." I thought he left it implied, because Trump stepped on the line, but he did actually say it.

Iโ€™ve heard too many stories of fellow academics just giving up. This is disappointing and enraging. Yโ€™all are really so easy to roll over because students use ai and frump is a meany. Grow a backbone!

I Set A Trap To Catch My Students Cheating With AI. The Results Were Shocking. "Students are not just undermining their ability to learn, but to someday lead."

To โ€œmy students and to anyone who might listen, I say: Donโ€™t surrender to AI your ability to read, write and think when others once risked their lives and died for the freedom to do so.โ€

Today, after the Coast Guard lifted a ban on swastikas and nooses as symbols of hate, and after President Trump called for the execution of members of Congress, it is time for every American to decide. Who will you be?

Here is Burt Lancaster as Nazi era judge Ernst Janning in Judgment at Nuremberg.

Memo to myself: Pay attention to the news only as much as you need to stay informed. Ruminating on all the bad things won't do your mind any good. Focus on the pictures. Keep looking. Keep seeing.

Q: The president has accused the other side of encouraging political violence. Isn't that exactly what the president is doing when he says members of Congress should be killed?

LEAVITT: Why aren't you talking about what these members of Congress are doing to encourage and incite violence?

This will surely surprise most Americans today, but historians have recently discovered that before Donald Trump, it was actually incredibly rare for a president to demand the public execution of this political opponents and press critics.

one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies โ€” before his *wife* โ€” started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.

society should put 'living wages' and 'human dignity' in locked display cases where capital can't shoplift them so easily

Is a bad flu season on the way? Experts see reason to be anxious There are early indications that this flu season could be a bad one.

โ€œIf thereโ€™s ever a year to get a flu vaccine, this is the year,โ€ said Scott Hensley, a microbiologist &influenza vaccine scientistโ€ฆ studies in previous seasons with vaccine mismatches have shown that people who receive a flu shot were often less likely to become sick enough to require hospital careโ€
