3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers."
We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.

Two very salient things that led me down the road to where I am now -
1. BFF’s older brother ‘handed down’ his HP-35 to him. I discovered the “Novus Mathematician” RPN calculator for $25, we became RPN buddies.
2. Same older brother gave me a Timex Sinclair he got for free w/ buying an Apple II.

Feeling Powerless on Their Own Property
Many landowners, neighbors and community advocates are dealing with the repercussions of and pushing back against the massive buildout of methane gas — dubbed “natural gas” by the fossil fuel industry — in Tennessee. This huge increase in gas infrastructure is driven in large part by the Tennessee Valley Authority.

I looked at the photo before I read the story and my god I just want a world where tamale vendors can provide that deliciousness to everyone without ever fearing being deported.
Tamale vendors are not the enemy.
I know who is, though. They look like me.

Same. I put a sticker over my new MBP ‘Apple’ to remind me of ‘Up’
My first MacBook was a PowerBook G3 Pismo and to this day I often still find myself setting down my MacBook down in reverse. You see the Apple Logo was presented to the user right side up when closed and when open upside down. I swear I get this mixed up often today.
