sorta coming around to the view that the social danger of genAI images is less that they'll make people believe fabricated things are real and more that they'll make people believe real things are fabricated

A very happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate. A special shout out to plumbers, nurses, flight attendants, hospice care workers, crisis line staffers, Uber drivers, TV football production crews, restaurant servers, journalists, and everyone else working today so others can enjoy a holiday.

I have just learned that when they found out CDC's search tool was down, The Immunization Action Coalition put together a page with various search tools for vaccines, with different categories - could be useful to people:

NEW: A Harvard study found that the children of women who contracted COVID-19 while pregnant may be at an increased risk for autism and other neurodevelopmental diagnoses, raising new concerns about the CDC’s decision to stop recommending the vaccine to pregnant women.

Oh the irony: WSJ reports that Congress is considering loosening cars’ safety standards.

Meanwhile, there are PROVEN ways to bring down our country's number of car crash deaths.

As someone who's taken care of too many car crash victims... I vote for what works. 🩺🧪🛟

The rate of fatalities on U.S. roadways is much higher than those in many other high-income nations. The authors review evidence-based strategies for moving toward a future with no traffic deaths.

Laurel watched the MAGA summit so we don’t have to, thank you for your service! 🫡
So, remember that MAHA summit 2 weeks ago that @statnews.com broke the news of and @maxkozlov.bsky.social somehow got into for Nature, even though it was closed to the press?

The organizers posted the entire 6.5-hour conference proceedings to YouTube last week.

Reporting from Boston papers makes it seem very plausible that Trump's Press Secretary had his paramilitary detain the mother of her nephew, because she was no longer romantically involved with her brother and he wanted her out of the picture.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”

“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...
‘Brazil is not her home.’ Mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew, brought to US as child, detained by ICE. - The Boston Globe
Bruna Ferreira, 33, was brought to the United States as a child in 1998. She is now in removal proceedings in Louisiana.

“There were no cervical cancer cases diagnosed in women aged <25 years in 2021 – the first time that this has occurred in data going back to 1982. This remarkable achievement is almost certainly due to the impact of HPV vaccination.” From report.cervicalcancercontrol.org.au

It really is

Our son got his first dose of HPV vaccine when he was 9

Vaccinating boys & men has benefits for BOTH women (e.g., helping to reduce HPV transmission to female sexual partners) AND men (e.g., reducing the risk of oral, head & neck, penile, & anal cancers)

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2

All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.

I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

There's a big divide in how Americans are thinking about vaccines:
♦️83% of Republicans don't want an updated COVID-19 vaccine.
🔷64% of Democrats want to get or have already received an updated vaccine.
