I don't think most Americans have any idea how dangerous it is for a president to declare an entire ethnic group to be "garbage." This is how the worst atrocities in human history have begun.

This pleases me (gift): "I had only one advantage: I’m a historian. One of the true gifts of studying the humanities is not the content we learn in school, but that we develop the skills to learn what we need to know when life takes unexpected turns. So like a proper nerd, I made a reading list."

Oof. Flu A taking off like a rocket in #bcpoli (as predicted, but who needs prevention from @governmentofbc.bsky.social, amitrite?!). Flu A test ~2X in 1 wk, from 7.4% to 13.8% COVID going down, RSV up a bit, but still LOTS of both around. #FluIsAirborne. Get your vax asap AND #MaskUp.

Holy CRAP. Retired engineer takes random pics of *kids*, without consent or attribution, bins them into “autistic” or “not autistic”, and uploads that “data” for free on Kaggle. Well over a HUNDRED papers are published, 38 in Springer Nature, 25 in IEEE, using it. And no reviewers objected? WTF.🧪

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too? A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

So, to all the "RFK's got some good ideas" folks (Rachael Bedard, Leana Wen) and Jay Bhattacharya is "an excellent choice for NIH" (Steven Macedo, Frances Lee) and Vinay Prasad "will bring a breath of fresh air to FDA" (Adam Cifu, John Mandrola) groupies--you own this now too.

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood. That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart. Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE. ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

Today on Volts: for years, I've wanted to do a podcast on indoor air quality, and I finally found the perfect guest! Dr. Lagoudas & I discuss indoor air pollutants, the policies and technologies that can control them, and the growing need to frame indoor air quality as a basic human right.

KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true? HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart-- KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

I’ve had five minute commutes and hour and a half commutes, and yeah, this completely checks out.

Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2
