On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now

Meanwhile...

Insane.

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

🧑‍🧒‍🧒🇺🇦 Zelensky noted that the Russians deported 19.500 Ukrainian children.

🙏 "Tens of thousands are missing or held captive. […] Mass graves and crimes in the liberated territories only confirm the scale of Russian terror," he emphasized.

Captures it perfectly.

If I'm interpreting this correctly, it is going to have a massive impact on science in the U.S.🧪

"...there will be a standard indirect rate of 15% across all NIH grants for indirect costs in lieu of a separately negotiated rate for indirect costs in every grant."

Problem solved. If Biden needs access to classified documents, he can just use the bathroom at Mar-a-lago like everyone else.

bluesky milestone
achieved this week

I’ll be honest, this week there was more to destroy the rule of law than in trumps first term,

And i have no idea what the Democrats are doing to fight back. Or even saying. Crickets

Tweet from 'MAGA Michelle S' says, "I will be filing Police Reports against anyone that takes a screenshot of my Twitter posts. This is a warning to all liberals. Take a screenshot and you will be getting a visit from the State Police and FBI."

I had to screenshot this.

DNA Match Yields Murder Arrest in 2005 Utah Cold Case Mark Munoz, 53, a homeless man, was charged in the killing of Jason Royter, 33, a father of two from Magna, Utah.

In 2005, Jason Royter was found stabbed to death in his Utah home. There were no signs of forced entry and little for detectives to go on in the unsolved homicide. But a DNA hit finally provided a breakthrough in the cold case, leading to the arrest last week of a homeless man in Royter’s killing.

Both the breadth and depth of Trump’s ignorance is astounding. He’s lived nearly 80 years and managed to avoid learning nearly anything at all.

One of the best shots from this location that we have ever seen!

Trump has rescinded an executive order from President Biden calling for the development of policies to lower drug costs for people in Medicare and Medicaid.

This is so sad.

These folks are ready and willing to do harm. Any ugly, terrifying act they commit will garner them a pardon.

When ChatGPT summarises, it actually does nothing of the kind. One of the use cases I thought was reasonable to expect from ChatGPT and Friends (LLMs) was summarising. It turns out I was wrong. What ChatGPT isn’t summarising at all, it only looks like it…

Was looking for this link for ages and finally found it so I'm posting it here to not lose it - LLMs do NOT summarize.

A summary strips out everything but the essential. GenAI merely shortens the text - with no understanding of what was important.

Good thing we pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement. Florida needed the snow this time of year 🤣☃️🤣
