measles…

Breaking news: The U.S. labor market lost 92,000 jobs in February, a striking loss signaling a warning flag for the economy.

The Purple Alert bill has passed unanimously! Thank you to all involved.

Resign. Resign. Resign. Have some basic decency: resign. apnews.com/article/mili...

We updated the list of Measles resources on our site: github.com/EpiForeSITE/... 🔬📚🦠. The two main updates are a couple of R pkgs 📦, by Damon Toth, Jake Wagoner, Willy Ray, @oliviactl.net, and me: {multigroup.vaccine} (compartmental models) + {measles} (agent-based models). #measles #openscience

Everyone thinks I’m a grad student apparently?

Friendly reminder that there's still time to fill in the survey! Anyone can, no need to be a seasoned Gleam developer!

We need more people like Tatiana, the woman I just met at the coffee shop.

There is a reason he’s forced to cause all of this chaos. He has NO PLAN. He funds no programs, no healthcare, no education, no lower prices, money coming in only supports more chaos. He envies other dictators. I challenge ANYONE to tell me just one single thing he’s accomplished? Discussion open

Shut the fuck up.

FLASH: TRUMP SAYS U.S. HAS CAPTURED VENEZUELAN PRESIDENT NICOLAS MADURO AND HIS WIFE

"President Trump announces on social media that the United States has captured Nicolas Maduro, the Venezuelan leader, and his wife and that they are being flown out of the country." -- New York Times

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela. Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law. Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee was not notified ahead of U.S. airstrikes on Venezuela, source tells CNN

It’s old-fashioned to defend mainstream journalism these days but some of the most reliable reporting from people actually on the ground will be the AP and Reuters the next 24 hours. Your Substack journalist writing takes will be using frontline reporting from them.

Jupiter, Io and Ganymede looking beautiful tonight with my C6. #astronomy #astrophotography

CNN: CNN just getting report that the smoke appears to be rising from the vicinity of Fort Tiona, which is where the Venezuelan ministry of defense is headquartered, which would seem to indicate that somebody is targeting the defenses of Venezuela.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

Zohran’s inauguration brimmed w/the energy that NYC is “a shining beacon of possibility” per @jumaane.bsky.social. Amidst the darkness of authoritarianism, inequality & hate, we have a chance to show what’s possible. That’s always been our mission as New Yorkers—it was profoundly renewed today.

Zohran Mamdani's best ad yet.

In American high schools, many teenagers are assigned few full books to read from beginning to end — often just one or two per year, according to researchers and thousands of responses to an informal reader survey by The New York Times. trib.al/gNp7kWK

A thing I believe is that governments should¹ pass laws banning the development or deployment of machinery that reads thoughts. The fact this technology does not exist makes it even more important it be illegal ¹ If someone wants narrow cutouts for accessibility devices I do not see a problem

A raccoon entered a liquor store in Virginia and drank his fill: rum, moonshine, even peanut butter whiskey. Then it passed out on the floor of the bathroom. Don’t worry — he’s OK. trib.al/R3wXGbV

Sea of Tranquility is a damn good book.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

God, what an incredibly distracting news cycle. I for one have completely forgotten about the Epstein files

I doubt we’ll see much of anything. Trump started looking into only the democrats as they relate to the Epstein files, which is an “active investigation” they can use the censor the hell out of everything.

The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

Zoox isn’t yet charging for rides in its electric vehicles, which don’t have steering wheels, mirrors or pedals. But cofounder Jesse Levinson thinks regulatory approval is close.

Yep that's how it happened

Also finding out people mentioned in the Epstein files have been suing victims into homelessness makes me sick Rich people can keep a lawsuit going forever. It’s a tactic Scientology uses against people who try to leave their cult. You have to fight back to avoid summary judgment

ngl that one felt good

BREAKING: PROP 50 HAS PASSED IN CALIFORNIA

Right. Nothing feels good about this at all.

I saw this a couple days ago? yesterday? and all I could think about was the kids going hungry. The adults need to fend for themselves, but the children? A 6-month old baby? My heart breaks for them.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

Riding a bike through deserted suburban streets in a thunderstorm in the middle of the night is a phenomenal experience.

As you get to a certain age, especially if you're a cis man, you've either got to own up to being an idiot (or worse) in your youth or double down on it.

The government shutdown means there is, essentially, no Education Dept. The Trump administration has laid off hundreds of the employees, leaving few workers to enforce special education and civil rights laws — two of the agency's core functions. Here's what has been cut and what might be restored.

If you can’t win, why not cheat, that seems to be the MAGA playbook. The Republican-controlled North Carolina Senate has passed a new congressional map in a 26-20 vote, setting up an expected final vote in the state House.

“Prompt parties,” gatherings of women over cheese and wine to chat about how ChatGPT can help them, are emerging as the next-generation of Tupperware party in San Francisco.

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican. It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong. Millions hit the streets this weekend in solidarity with each other and to affirm the foundations of the common good.

What if they turned the White House into a data center

thanks to a Google Alert that I have for "methylene chloride", check out these 15 year old pictures of a meth lab in Georgia. Love the Home Depot buckets! www.policemag.com/photo-galler... #chemsky 🧪⚗️

Bigfoot enthusiast Jeffrey Meldrum attended BYU, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in 1982 and a master’s in 1984, both in zoology.

General strikes are BUILT up to. You dont know that because the US killed off every major labor leader in the last 100 years and dont even teach about the labor movement in this country. Community members organizing childcare, transportation, etc. Organization of mutual aid for medical needs, etc
