It breaks our hearts to have to say that CDC is no longer a source for evidence-based vaccine recommendations. 💔 But we are so proud of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) for stepping up to protect kids. ❤️🩹 Childhood vaccine schedule from AAP 👇

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes? That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.

And this also hits contractors and others who support federal workforce. I'm not talking about the highly paid contractors (although it hits them, too). I'm talking about people like contract janitorial staff, contract food-service staff, etc.
