For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.

JB Pritzer saying "Trump and his cronies can fuck all the way off" the day after Mamdani wins is very Taylor Swift "by the way, I swear now" energy

LEGO AQUARIUM LEGO AQUARIUM LEGO AQUARIUM god I want to be a "drop $479 on a Lego set without batting an eyelash" person so bad lmao this is such a vital next step in my ongoing process of assembling a "Lego Victorian Naturalist" bookcase with the crystals and bird and bugs and plants under glass

The final days at Enron must have been top-tier levels of Office Gossip

An unexpected perk of doing my DrPH while working is seeing people take academic knowledge and move it to the real world. A classmate mentioned she took evidence-based screening questions about intimate partner violence from the readings and implemented them at her practice as a surgeon.

"There were forty-seven members in the compassion club, and zero deaths occurred among members during the year that the site operated. Since the site was raided and shut down by Vancouver police, at least two members have reportedly died." The cruelty is the point. #cdnpoli #bcpoli #defundtheVPD

Salt Lake Harm Reduction joined KRCL last week to talk about their Naloxey-Boxey (240+ naloxone kits distributed since August!) and their upcoming fundraiser on November 8 in Salt Lake City. Listen here, segment starts at 17:45: www.mixcloud.com/KRCLradio/th...

“Scientists finally reveal what’s behind long COVID’s mysterious brain fog” Headline should be “Scientists finally DISCOVER”. Either way it’s great news

I'm listening to an audiobook about Enron and every single guy sounds like he looks like Jonah Ryan from Veep

A music video for Sabrina's House Tour would send Billy The Kid into immediate cardiac arrest

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

At my second Sky Club of the day and I'm convinced Delta is secretly tackling the male loneliness epidemic by strategically placing employees whose sole job is to chat with Business Dudes on work trips

I refuse to give em dashes to the AI

There is no standard lethal dose of cocaine. Overdose risk depends on many factors… route (snorted, smoked, injected), body weight, tolerance, health status, and what other substances are on board. Someone can die from a few hundred mg while some use multiple grams daily for years without issue.

I have no problem with the owls or the supernatural murderers or the prophetic log or the cops using dreams to solve crime, but I draw the line at all the girls of Twin Peaks finding asshole boys like James and Bobby so attractive when Deputy Hawk is RIGHT there

"Honey, I don't have much time. I've been arrested by ICE and they are sending me to a detainment center. I love you and the kids, I will be OK, please call our attorney" -- John Shin, DACA resident, speaking to his wife last week. She hasn't heard from him since www.fox13now.com/news/local-n...

I got a subscription for my husband last December and it's genuinely been one of the best purchases. I was reading the July issue last night and straight up cackled.

The advertising for Chick-fil-A with the cows is really bizarre to me. It asks you to consider that cows are lovable creatures with have agency who want desperately to live. But then it needs you to stop thinking at that exact spot. If you even imagine the outline of a chicken it all falls apart.

As always, Ted Chiang is great in this interview. cdh.princeton.edu/blog/2025/08...

i distinctly remember a decade+ ago when all the creative jobs started going out the window being told to “learn to code”

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

Just had to turn to my husband and ask, "How do you spell dyslexic?" and man, sometimes life really just hits ya

Thinking of the couple from the '90s Sears air-conditioning commercial and how unprepared they'd be for the climate crisis

Remember when Taylor Swift compared publicly admitting to being attracted to Matty Healy to Jesus being crucified on the cross? Feels like we moved past that a little too quickly

Stepping into the AI-driven future of HIV prev & care “If we don’t include the lived experience, AI will reproduce the blind spots. So what we have is something nice and fancy and shiny and new that’s just reproducing the inequities we see — and doing it much faster” www.aidsmap.com/news/jul-202...

Just updated my office's voicemail greeting, something I've been meaning to do every day for the past four days. It took 30 seconds. I will learn nothing from this.

I physically need to know what Dakota Johnson is saying about the Coldplay kiss cam.

I love how frequently Bluetooth connections fail for seemingly no reason and we've all decided this is fine and the best way to listed to audio

Just to accurately lay out the course of events, people were yelling at him because his auto-responding robot that was trained on Twitter’s userbase still displayed — against all odds — a modicum of empathy. He then made the robot speak like him and within hours it was calling itself Mechahitler.

I cannot go two seconds in Google Docs without fucking Gemini butting in like “can I help you turn your careful and detailed writing that people pay you by the hour for into some hot garbage that doesn’t make sense??? no??? how about now? okay how about now? how about now? how about now? how about

Columbia fumbled the ball big time. Cowardice gets you nowhere.

this is so critical to effective activism: harm reduction meets people where they are, politically as well as in terms of drug use. Insisting on perfection is like insisting on perfect abstinence, instantly.

Measles likely came from cows (via rinderpest) around the 6th century BCE. For 2,500 years, we didn’t evolve superhuman resistance—children just died. Real protection only came in the 1960s, with vaccines. Our superpower isn’t evolving into superhumans. It’s outthinking pathogens.

I love that the WeWork guy had just other one good business idea, which was "What if we vertically integrated so much that we were the only company in the world?" and investors gave him $2 billion for it.

They are coming for every university, if you think you’re safe because it hasn’t been yours yet I don’t know what to tell you. Join AAUP, refuse to comply, organize your colleagues

I went to grad school with Sara--she's incredible!! Baltimore is so lucky to have her in this role!

This sounds so smart — until you realize that it makes the whole problem worse. It ignores Musk’s lawlessness, it legitimizes the project of privatizing government services, and ultimately taxpayers end up paying more for the same work. Maybe the capitalists aren’t the source for solutions here.

Okay now that I've snarked about it, let's actually talk about the design choices here - because they ARE choices. Someone looked at this and said yes, this is what I want. Why? Bc the design emphasizes (the appearance of) quantity over quality. This is not for reading. It is meant to look busy.

Everyone relax. SpaceX just wants to control the FAA, not make the planes. Boeing will still handle that part

You don’t have to report to social media what organizing you are doing! That might not be the smart or secure thing to do!! I repeat: You don’t have to report to social media what organizing you are doing!!
