One of the things about programs like SNAP that most people don't understand but some oligarchs really hate is that they redistribute wealth and stimulate economic activity that benefits small, local economies. publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/what-is...

I donated both to Feeding America and my local food bank today. If you can, I hope you will do the same.

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater

Thank you for the amazing ride #SeattleMariners. Sorry to see it end this way but there's always next year.

TOMORROW! 📢 R Consortium webinar: J&J’s Hybrid SAS/R FDA Submission: What Worked and Why Most pharma teams live in a mixed world of SAS and R. Go inside a successful hybrid SAS/R FDA submission and see exactly how the team made it work! r-consortium.org/webinars/jnj... #rstats #pharma #sas

Adding smoothing parameters is great. This blue color pallet is great. Understanding contractions in the labor market through looking at UI claims, vacancy, as well as unemployment, because no signal is perfect, especially with a spatial lens is great. 10/10 no notes.

You #rstats, all I'm going to say is that I'm so excited for the amazing speakers and topics we have for you on the R+AI lineup. Official marketing posts are coming but I am so excited, it's hard to not talk about it.

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment. Here’s what experts say you need to know.

This is precious 😍

As someone who spent my Sunday making pumpkin soup and sugar free pumpkin pie custard, I am so here for this.

This is wonderful and worth the scroll! ❤️

Well, when the extremes are battling, the center gets bigger in reaction to the fight. Also, both of these people have aged and found common cause in protecting what we used to believe were norms of behavior from our political class and institutions. Glad to see it happening.

I've done my part! Please do yours! There are no restrictions in Washington State. I literally made an appointment online with a local chain pharmacy. The appointment took 20 minutes and was covered by my insurance. Get vaccinated and help build herd immunity to protect those among us who can't.

Not to brag but I got both my flu and COVID vaccine shots on Friday and I feel fine. I hope everyone who wants to get the shots can get the shots. Herd immunity here we come!
