The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.

We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

Can anybody think of a plausible good reason why a doctor would not tell you how much a procedure costs right away?

I have been dealing with a surgeon since the summer, had to travel for the first time in years for an injection, not knowing if I could even afford the surgery if I was approved...

Having now read the Peter Thiel thing, it seems obvious to me that he has a barely concealed Christ delusion and therefore anyone opposed to him is allied with the antichrist.

Good news for transgender people at MIT.

Unlike some prestigious universities, MIT has defied the Trump administration and refused its attempt to pressure the university into banning transgender people from bathrooms.

Nigel Farage, Richard Tice & Reform LTD need a thorough investigation
#ReformRussianBribes

Emma Monk @monkemma.bsky.social · 14d

There seems to be some *confusion*
among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them

“But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes”

“But, but he was in UKIP”

“But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy”

So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

C-SPAN caller from Missouri to Missouri Rep. Mark Alford: "I hope you, sir, as an elected official, will think of the people who are in nursing homes, their parents are in nursing homes, their Medicaid is going to be cut. What is going to happen to Missourians whose hospitals are gonna close?"

Julie Bindel is so much of a feminist that she had lunch with Jennifer Lahl who doesn't think women should spend their "fertile years" having a career.

A photo of Julie Bindel and Jennifer Lahl with a caption that reads "is this you, having lunch with Jennifer Lahl of the Heritage Foundation Julie.
Why were you doing that"

Section of an article from Forbes magazine dated 03, 2024.

It reads. "In a piece decrying the falling fertility rate, founder of the anti-abortion Center for Bioethics and Culture Network Jennifer Lahl criticizes women having children at older ages and “spending a large portion of their most fertile years building their careers,” as well as in vitro fertilization and using egg donors or surrogates—writing, “We need to stop practices that may bring harm to others: the children born from high-tech pregnancies as well as the women who are exploited for their healthy reproductive capacities.”

I really hope that Mamdani wins the NYC mayoral race and that universal childcare becomes a reality. Even tho we are on our way out of needing fulltime daycare, other families desperately need the support. It's a cause worth fighting for, even if I probably won't benefit from it.
