Having a real “you reap what you sow” moment. During peak pandemic years I got my then-toddler involved in regrowing scallions, garlic, and other alliums. She’s now 8, and won’t let me throw away ANYTHING that we can potentially regrow.

CDC committee members, some of whom are vaccine skeptics, are likely to recommend restricting the use of hepatitis B shots at birth or delaying them. The vaccine is credited by public health experts with nearly eliminating maternal transmission of the disease in the U.S.

It was clearly arterial blood. But any news org would wait for officials to confirm before declaring the victim of a shooting dead, if nothing else, to give authorities time to notify the family.

Social media companies haven’t figured out how to stop violence from going viral.
(And I have written this exact story after the shootings in Christchurch, Pittsburg, Texas, and countless other moments where deadly violence was caught on camera).

Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war.

She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza.
