OOH! I just used this Chrome extension to find a lot of my Xitter follows! Really useful.

Even better news: @jaythechou.bsky.social is here! That's the one account I was going to miss if I left Xitter. This could hasten my departure.

Update on the war.

Photo of an inflatable frog poster with the text:
Letters from war-ravaged Portland.
"Exhausted from a night of vegan froyo and Dandy Warhols cover tunes, Amphibi-tifa morale is low. Latte stores are dry, so it's kombucha and mint tea until the supply trucks arrive. Our new rallying point is the hookah lounge. We conga at dawn. Pray for us."

The @chicago.suntimes.com photographer who risked their personal health and safety to take this photograph is Anthony Vazquez. Please credit photographers and media outlets. In this age of misinformation, a photo with no context could be anything at all.

This is Colton. He started a fire at his house when he chewed through a lithium ion battery. He's not the first dog to do this, and he won't be the last, but unfortunately his dad is a firefighter, so it's probably going down as one of the most embarrassing instances. We're still giving him a 12/10

Wait, WHAT? The IRB gone. The IRB!

What an extraordinarily dangerous, harmful, unethical bunch of MAGA and MAHA lackeys we now have running US public health, healthcare, and health research; they have totally lost their moral compass (assuming they once had one?).

HELLody SchreiBOO @melodyschreiber.com · 20h

The entire HR department at the CDC is gone. Everyone at the IRB, which makes sure studies are conducted ethically and rigorously, and the ethics office, which oversee conflicts of interest for CDC leaders and advisory committee members, were also let go.

There are two differences between Science Based Medicine and Sensible Medicine.

The quality and the cost.

Here’s what we were saying this time last year. @gorskon.bsky.social

RFK Jr. is now an
extinction-level threat to federal public health programs and science-based health policy
A week ago, Donald Trump said that, if elected, he would let Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. "go wild" on healthcare. RFK Jr. has said that he'd immediately remove fluoride from drinking water, while surrogates say he'd work to prove vaccines unsafe. This is why a Trump Presidency could represent an extinction-level event for science-based federal health policy.

None of this is the fault of the cast. A lot of really talented people appear in this movie. I hope they had fun making it and got paid well. But, Holy Mother of Santa Monica, is this movie a slog. It...

Reminder: the President may be allowing his secretary to undermine access to vaccines for others and promote anti vaccine misinformation, but he himself is fully vaccinated, including this year’s flu and Covid vaccine.

In this, do as the president does, not as his secretary ‘s ACIP minions say.

Exactly what we'd expect from the world's oldest and largest child-raping cartel.

Years of effort to safeguard children were undone by religious leaders who worship secrecy more than justice

How would you react if someone decided you’d no longer have water treatment & plumbing?

That you’d be rolling a dice with water from your faucet. That you’d have to poop in a bucket & dump it in the street, your yard, a ditch.

You’d probably be horrified & outraged, right?
