I got this machine transcript of a voicemail today. Word for word, I swear: English service press one, Chinese press two. Yo honey, you need a deal! Why she only tongue jump? I think, “can you but die?” Should you yell, shouting in your fooling, and you doing lunching on earth?

Had to take a flight today. One of the very few masking, and there were audible productive coughs. Why doesn’t public health make recommendations: “If you must travel while sick, please wear a mask. Be kind, save a life!”

Hospital where child presented with H5N1 was probably crowded, missed a testing opportunity the first time around, was using only surgical masks at best, long waits, and the masks were downgraded to surgical masks again even after suspicions of bird flu. ->

Today would have been Carl Sagan's 90th birthday. He wrote this in 1995. Carl was absolutely right. #CarlSaganDay
I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time - when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.
