I appreciate the media keeping an eye on this story. It's absurd that we still can't get an answer on why this decision was made, especially given the practical implications of it. Infectious illnesses don't respect "national sovereignty" no matter how furiously we post about it.

NZ’s rejection of new WHO pandemic rules makes no real sense
Analysis - World Health Organisation regulations are not a threat to national sovereignty, and they apply lessons learned from Covid. So why did NZ opt out?

a few really valuable things I learned: I didn't realize that invoking the 25th requires 8 cabinet members, and therefore the project of driving demon spawn like Kristi Noem out of their seats and refusing to confirm equally demon spawn replacements makes the path narrower and narrower

The government is obsessed with fighting ghosts of covid’s past, cause they have no new ideas. But are they really saying they would’ve magically disappeared the inflationary impact of the pandemic? Which happened worldwide. They also advocated for more spending the whole time!

The reaction of Dr Kelsey Young at the Science Desk was one of the best things in the feed but I'd also like to acknowledge the dude in the lower left corner of the control room view doing his own little dance of joy during Jeremy Hansen's discussion of his corona observations.

The Artemis II crew just reported several impact flashes—explosions from hypervelocity impacts of meteoroids with the Moon—during the solar eclipse. We make a big effort to see a handful of these from Earth with telescopes. That astronauts flying by the Moon saw >4 in tens of minutes is AWESOME.

I remember once seeing that Louisa May Alcott received the same payment for a short story that I got for one of mine. Not the same amount adjusted for inflation. The same dollar figure. Once upon a time you could make a living as a writer. Not anymore.

This war is horrible and Trump is a POS. That doesn't change the fact that the Iranian regime is a horrific violator of human rights. Just like you don't have to hand it to white nationalists, you also don't have to hand it to regimes which just recently murdered thousands of their own citizens.

I don't like to talk about covid in wastewater as cases much beyond "line go up means cases go up", and there is sooo much confusion in distinguishing detail like the difference between asymptomatic (no symptoms) and pre/post symptomatic (no symptoms at test time), but here is an observation 1/9

A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.
