Happy Birthday, Kurt Cobain. You would absolutely *hate* how hard it is to smoke in public now.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

Historian of medicine here. Yes. Yes, they did.

The person photographed here who is in their bathrobe filming armed, masked federal agents in St. Paul is MPR News journalist @samstroozas.bsky.social @mprnews.org . She is an incredible journalist and person. We do not deserve her.

the rollout of the mRNA vaccines was one of the greatest public health triumphs in history and the end result has been the all-around triumph of the antivax movement and I will never get over it

posting is harmless provided you don't take it seriously- the second you start believing you're doing Important Work, that's when the madness takes hold

If you time things just right, you can catch the bus

My doctor once explained to me that Vitamin C is one of the most delicate nutrients. That bottles of OJ moving through warehouses and sitting on shelves, exposed to changes in light and temperature, typically have way less Vit C than advertised. Only frozen and fresh-squeezed are immune to this.

Wow: A top GOP candidate for governor in Minnesota just announced that he is dropping out from the race. *And* that he is leaving the Republican Party. He blamed the GOP's "stated retribution on the citizens of our state." www.startribune.com/chris-madel-...

Once again, immigration is not even a problem. Immigrants are not more criminal, they don't cost jobs, they don't harm the economy. There is no reason for any of this. It is hurting ourselves to hurt them.
