We already had the real-world experience of unvaccinated people getting measles, and it's why we invented the vaccine for measles.
It's one thing to be a sociopath playing with the lives of others. It's another to be gleefully stupid about it.

RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.

Small issue (that's what they call me etc): I enjoy baking bread because I love eating bread. I enjoy eating patisserie but lack the finesse to make it. I am ambivalent about cake and rarely make it.
Now if there's a show called 'What? Another Focaccia!" sign me up.

He was profiled by the Forward in 2023! Sneak peek: his languages are English, German, French and Danish (and at least enough Greenlandic to name his dog), rest of the article is here:
The only Jew in remote Greenland sometimes feels like ‘the last person on earth’
Paul Cohen says the territory’s few Jewish visitors tend to find him. “My name just screams ‘Judaism.’”

In honor of all the well-deserved Oscar nominations, we are dropping the paywall on @freeblackgirl.bsky.social's piece on Ryan Coogler's Sinners, and how the real star of the film is the threading of Black intimacies:

![Comic. My experience seeing the Northern Lights: [Graph: x axis is increasing time, y axis is increasing aurora coolness, going from visible glow on the horizon, color only visible in photos -> sheets and pillars of light, colors faintly visible -> “oh wow, it’s getting really bright now.” -> spectacular ribbons of color spanning the sky and illuminating the landscape. Graph shows dips and peaks over many hours with the topmost peeks for only around 5 or 10 minutes.] [caption] Aurora tip: If you get good views of the aurora, keep watching the sky; you might suddenly get great ones.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreiaobzgmrzo7wpvwm3z7h334szdf42salbn6skjuhfcxgsoeu7qjya@jpeg)

Finally watched Sinners, whose main message seems to be that Irish people appreciate good music but are not always sensitive to local norms in their desire to join a rollicking party

Not for anything, but based on data from the Titanic’s sea trials, it would take 7 min to make a complete turn at a speed of 17 knots.

Jo also spoke through Edward’s work.
Hotel Room (1931) was drawn from trips Jo Hopper logged in her notebooks.
The scene turns a suitcase, a bed, and a blind into narrative symbols. The props become the plotline of her traveling experiences.
