And it got more than an order of magnitude worse… Over 1,000,000 Americans dead. It’s amazing that we’ve just memory holed this.

So much of the pandemic was us finding out life actually could be easier and better and more accessible, and then watching them peel every scrap of that back out of our hands & lives, often for incoherent reasons. (return to office!)

Of course insurers like him. He pretty much singlehandedly turned us all back to in-person work, guaranteeing hundreds of thousands of new disabled people in need of meds, treatment, and insurance plans more detailed than “hold your breath and pray.” Also Zuck’s all in. All you need to know.

MIT (endowment: $27B) shuttering three of its four main libraries is one of those news items that just knocks you off balance, auguring, as it does, profound and permanent changes to the entire institutional apparatus of higher education in this country.

The point of the university as a concept is that it's been here for a thousand years and meant to be here another thousand. Turning education over to producing what the market needed five years ago is never going to work well.

FYI if you’re talking about the
#Artemis
II mission and you want to get the spaceflight terminology right, the mission is “crewed,” not “manned.” (NASA made the terminology change official decades ago, so this isn’t new, but a lot of folks just aren’t aware.)

I showed this graph in class yesterday on how measles cases in the United States plummeted dramatically after the vaccine was licensed in 1963. It’s not subtle and I could not resist observing: “This stunning design in measles cases was not thanks to vitamin A. It was not due to beef tallow.”

Science takes ~17 years to reach clinical practice. The science in 2026 is clear: we don’t have another decade to wait on SARS-CoV-2. If you’re doing what you can to avoid (re)infection, your behaviour is 100% aligned with best current available evidence. If you’re not, waiting is ill-advised.

Exoskeletons! Bionic leg braces! The wrong trousers! Most of us do not want these things. The loss of being bipedal isn’t what grieves us. It’s the fact that abled people just cannot help themselves making exclusionary decisions that DON’T NEED TO BE. Everyone benefits from ramps.

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.” This is why we need to be telling our stories.

Climate injustice made an appearance at the Super Bowl last night. Most don't know that Puerto Rico struggles with reliable electricity due to systemic racism. The government refuses to invest in any real grid improvements, so lights will be kept on at resorts while Puerto Ricans sit in the dark.
