Immigration is good and we need to say so. It is in our best interest when people want to come to this country to make a better life for themselves. My family story is the shtelt to the American dream in three generations. Other people should have this opportunity, too.

Trump on immigrants: "They send up their worst people. They send up people that are criminals. They send up people from jails. And the best ones they send are people that don't work very hard and that are on a social form of welfare."

The MMR vaccine is one of the most stunningly effective medical therapeutics in existence. It’s also safer than most of your everyday activities. This is simply an attempt to stop people from vaccinating.

HELLody SchreiBOO @melodyschreiber.com · 5d

The acting director of the CDC called for new, separate MMR shots. That would be "remarkably complicated, time-consuming, costly, but more importantly unnecessary," @jasonlschwartz.bsky.social told me:

Concerns that three separate shots would be more costly and time-consuming, and keep kids from being vaccinated

It’s still a little bit wonderful (after years) to be on the subway & come up out of the tunnel onto the Manhattan Bridge & see the harbor & the Brooklyn Bridge, on the other side the traffic moving slightly out of sync. If you visit NYC, find a reason to take the N, Q, D or B to Brooklyn or back.

Glad to see this re-upping of “Ducks,” which is superb.

Colin Smith @colinsmith.bsky.social · 10d

Asked in today’s ST Culture what his favourite book is by a living author, Jonathan Coe replies that he’s “a little bit obsessed with ‘Ducks: Two Years In The Oil Sands’ by the Canadian artist Kate Beaton”. Which did make me think how far comics have come in terms of cultural legitimacy.

"The Official Release Party of a Showgirl" sounds like an obscure social satire from the Czechoslovak New Wave (1966) you can watch on Criterion Channel
