Congratulations, Andrew Wakefield! You did it, you fraudulent quack!
🚨 This should alarm everyone.

The #UK has lost measles elimination status — not because vaccines failed, but because vaccination rates fell.

The US is on track to lose it too.

#Measles is highly contagious, dangerous, and vaccine-preventable.

Holy hell. The description of death row in apartheid South Africa was one of the most harrowing things I've ever read.

Also.

This guy wasn't fucking around.

@abraham.bsky.social are you watching Pluribus? It’s a lot of fun. A nice escape from the real word troubles.

NASA's Juno mission has been sending fantastic images from Jupiter and its storm systems, like the ones here.

These images are also up for the planetary science image of 2025: bsky.app/profile/spac...

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?

TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded

BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

I find this image remarkable.

It's of the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, photographed by the ESA Rosetta spacecraft.

That bright white plume is a jet of dust and water ice blasting from the nucleus—helping form the comet's long, dusty tail as it approaches the Sun.

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.”

Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.

I blame @abraham.bsky.social for this immoderation. #screamingfirehawk Rocinante was a mustang. The four OG refugees escaping on the Tachi made it through all the way :)
