Adding Lucid Planet, II to my short list of perfect albums. Enjoy Organic Hard Drive, as a little treat!

This photo of Cole Eiserman comforting his friend and teammate Cole Hutson after he took a puck to the head is what sports is about. Glad to hear that Lane Hutson’s brother was released from the hospital and rejoined Team USA 🇺🇸

this is kinda weird ngl

Funny how neither of the authors knows fuck-all about ID, virology, epidemiology, etc., that is to say, about COVID...

www.sciencenews.org/article/bene... regardless of what the worm brain kennedy might say about vaccines it is much better to have it than not. his conspiratorial BS is an embarrassment to our country & a danger to our citizens' health. #vaccineswork #vaccinessavelives listen to doctors not kennedy

What bugs the fuck out of me is that he could just target his followers into doing pro-healthcare things like calling reps and registering voters and instead he's doing the same old shit like Walensky is still in charge.

@mcbazacophd.bsky.social People are eating raw oysters again.

If there is a tamiflu shortage this year I blame twitter's #1 catastrophist EFD for advising people to stockpile prescription antivirals.

At 7am I found out that I do a damn good Mickey and Minnie impression. My kids adored me. It’s now 11:13am and I fear that I’ve made a terrible mistake.

A 17-year-old worker died at a pork producer in Nebraska run by the governor’s family. Two investigations later, the boy’s mother is still searching for answers. trib.al/z7ZUF62

Measles causes infection as early as four days before patients have symptoms. 1) Get vaccinated. 2) Wear N95 or better (eg @flomask.bsky.social ) constantly: in public, at work, etc. 3) If you have symptoms, stay home: protect your peeps! 4) Get vaccinated. 5) Yeet RFKjr into the Great Salt Lake.

We can’t do 3 more years of this…

CBS caving is craven and awful, if predictable. However, I kind of feel like the 60 minutes segment is getting much more attention in its absence than it would have garnered airing on the Sunday before a holiday. When it finally does air, the attention will be massive.

People sometimes ask me what harm AltNPS is doing, and it's this. This right here. AltNPS didn't do ANYTHING for this cause, and never even mentioned it before today. @protectparks.bsky.social is who made the difference (among others), but lots of people will now believe it was AltNPS.

Asymptomatic: The Silent Spread of COVID-19 and the Future of Pandemics via Johns Hopkins U Press is now #20 in epidemiology in Amazon and 40% off... Addresses the roots of Covid grievances (hint: never the flu) & how to realign preparedness to control silent spread: www.amazon.com/Asymptomatic...

People often ask why Democrats don’t have something like TurningPoint USA — so before the year ends, let me introduce you to Voters of Tomorrow. We’re on campuses across the country, organizing over 10,000 Gen Z members to engage our generation. 🧵THREAD

People are going to focus on the racism aspect of this, which, sure, fine. But what’s most important is that a 40-something year old dude repeating memes just sounds like a fucking loser.

Going for a solstice walk with Crack the Skye on loud, as one does. Favorite evening of the year.

just say the word JD

Trans rights are human rights, in the most profound and fundamental way.

to add to the Jake Paul schadenfreude, Andrew Tate also lost a fight to some reality TV influencer. most analysis of the fight I've read described his opponent as deeply untalented but Andrew lost anyway. Tate's endurance was awful and he was gassed after the first round.

There are always people trying to argue that misinformation doesn’t matter. But every time I read the news there is some horrific story or policy grounded in false beliefs that have been circulating online.

Let’s be clear. On the same day that federal employees were given paid leave for Dec. 24th and Dec. 26th, a whopping 1% annual COL pay bump was also finalized for them, at a time of staggering price increases across most sectors that directly affect most families. It’s all transparent BS.

Tens of thousands of annual cases of chickenpox, rotavirus, and other vaccine preventable diseases a year - in a country of six million people. Not only will Denmark’s vaccine schedule not work for the US, it already isn’t working for Denmark.

wow, seeing Jake Paul get beaten half to death, true terror in his eyes, really improved my whole outlook on life

Using disease to spread xenophobia is disgusting. Leprosy is a bacterial disease, not highly contagious, and treated with antibiotics. www.cdc.gov/leprosy/...

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

You mean to tell me that Uncle Scrooge put a whole-ass cooked turkey in a burlap sack full of toys and they just put it on the table and ate it?

“Gantchev suffered from type 2 diabetes and told his wife no diet accommodations were made for him. She and Anna said the small amount of food that is given to people detained at North Lake was not enough for maintaining Gantchev's blood sugar levels.”

If you're staff, faculty, grad or undergrad student, alumni, or other community member of any UNC system school, please send Peter Hans a letter opposing the mandatory public release of syllabi. First amendment & academic freedoms aside, this policy could actively endanger instructors of record.

@doritreiss.bsky.social, @jasonlschwartz.bsky.social, @sbagen.bsky.social do y’all know how VFC will be affected? my understanding was that VFC won’t fund for non-recommended vaccines, but i know the devil’s likely in the details

okay one more because this is just hilarious idiocy

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

FDA Commissioner Makary broke from the tinfoil hat circuit to announce that no black box warning was planned for COVID vaccines based on Høeg's VAERS dumpster diving for child deaths. When they get caught screwing with vaccine access, they back off. rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/nobody-put...

Happy 6-month COVID booster day to those of us who celebrate!

Feels really weird to have to do this again, but here goes. Vaccines save lives. 🧪 #PublicHealth

As families across the world gather on this first night of Hanukkah, I sincerely hope that all those who are celebrating find some comfort in their loved ones.

Annual reminder that the Keanu Reeves/Drew Barrymore version of Babes in Toyland is one of the most messed up bad acid trips of a movie that’s ever been made. And the first time I watched it was at a church lock-in when I was, like, maybe 8.

Well that’s certainly…a trade…that involves real hockey players, of some sort.

Everything is pretty bad and grim but it’s also important to take some time to enjoy the moment and the people close to you. It’s pizza, big blanket, stuffies, pjs, and Muppet Christmas Carol night at the Bazaco house, and I plan to enjoy every second of it. ❤️

I refuse to believe that Biff Poggi is a real person and not an X wing pilot from the extended Star Wars universe.

PSA: if anyone in your life is trying to dissuade you from getting the shingles shot, you should probably assume that person hates you, and wants you to suffer. There is literally no other explanation. Shingles hurts worse than childbirth. Worse than knee surgery. Worst pain of my life.

And here’s the video that antivaxxers are celebrating. youtu.be/1tLv-QWb8bo

Thoughts and prayers to all of the parents out there helping their kids switch advent calendars from the 6th to the 7th today.
