Vinay Prasad thinks he knows better than you whether you should take a novavax vaccine.

He rejects medical freedom and embraces raw government power to limit your choices.
To @ucsfhealth.bsky.social Vinay Prasad, infecting tens of millions of unvaccinated children with SARS-CoV-2 - which he claims came from a lab - repeatedly is not treating them as research subjects for an uncontrolled experiment.

“Repubs in Congress are saying "get lost" to millions of people who are counting on Medicaid to cover the medicine that treats their cancer, the hip replacement they need to walk, & the inhaler to help their kid breathe.

Sometimes it’s hard to believe that in the midst of hundreds of people still dying weekly from COVID-19, millions disabled by #LongCOVID, measles spreading, wildfire smoke, & more our Democratic @governor.ny.gov wants to **restrict** masks, an essential public health tool! #NoNYMaskBan

NY State Budget is not final yet.

New Yorkers, keep calling your NY State Senators and Assemblymembers and urge them not to pass any anti-mask policies in the state budget!

"Going before a grand jury isn’t a nicety or a minor procedural step. The Fifth Amendment requires it. Arresting Dugan before convening a grand jury was intended to get flashy headlines and whip the MAGA faithful into a frenzy."
Arresting judges is a 5-alarm escalation
What would you say if you saw it in another country?

This is really gross. Researchers poisoned a subreddit without consent to see what would happen if you poison a subreddit.

"The LLMs also pretended to be real people including rape victims, trauma counselors, a Black man, and someone blaming a religious group for atrocities."
The mods of r/ChangeMyView shared the sub was the subject of a study to test the persuasiveness of LLMs & that they didn't consent. There’s a lot that went wrong, so here’s a 🧵 unpacking it, along with some ideas for how to do research with online communities ethically. tinyurl.com/59tpt988

Science sleuths flag hundreds of papers that use AI without disclosing it
Telltale signs of chatbot use are scattered through the scholarly literature — and, in some cases, have disappeared without a trace.

Sure there is. We, the workers, start grinding shit to a halt. We shut down airports. We strike. We leave critical structures like power, water treatment & healthcare, but we shut shit down til they're begging us.

Herd immunity by letting measles infect everyone "naturally" is like: Fireproofing a forest by letting it burn down. Measles isn't mild: ~20% need hospitalization, ~2/1000 DIE. Vaccine: <1/million have a serious complication (allergy). Ironically, vaccines NATURALLY harness your immune system

Mother of God. This is unspeakably vile. The Saddam Hussein-esque statue is especially horrendous. This is exactly what he wants, make no mistake about it, his own little Trumped up mini-Dubai.
Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

Impeach & remove. Both Trump & Vance. Straight to jail. Do not pass Go. Grassley is old af, but he can pick a vice president & then resign.
What to do when the president thinks he’s above the law & defies a judge’s order to release billions of dollars in federal grants?

And, “there’s no question that the govt isn’t complying, has not even come close to complying, with the order.” In

Genuinely incredible piece of reporting here that makes the story completely unimpeachable. They sat in the back of an immigration courtroom and watched the guy pull out his personal phone and post to his racist account DURING the hearing!
How do you link a government official to an anonymous social media account that asserts, among other things, that "America is a White nation?"

Like this.

Instead, they were detained, shackled and flown by the U.S. military to a faraway country, Panama.
