“are people allergic to bees still massively against bees, or have they moved more towards embracing being stung by bees, perhaps actively encouraging bees to sting them”
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

Abraham, a physician who is not board certified in any specialty & has made a career as an extremely partisan politician, is now #2 at CDC.
Despite working full time in political office, he is one of the top prescribers of ivermectin & he oversaw the end of Louisiana’s public vaccination campaigns.

BREAKING via @jeremyfaust.bsky.social: The CDC's internal email server now lists Louisiana physician Ralph Lee Abraham, MD, as the agency's principal deputy director -- "an irresponsible choice," according to one public health expert.

There is NO FUCKING EXCUSE for this to be happening.
I had a baby die in my arms of pertussis some fifty years ago. It was a HORRIBLE death. But my fellow nurses said to me, "It's almost stamped out now, they're all getting the shots, we won't be seeing this again."
HOW THE FUCK ARE WE HERE. 😡

A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:
“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
