I don't normally watch commercial television, and haven't for some time. Watching TV on Roku, and it's disturbing how many commercials are obviously AI

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

People need food. Market won’t provide it. Government should. It’s literally the whole point.
Turns out Mamdani's controversial proposal for government-run supermarkets isn't so novel. Other cities also are toying with the idea to bring fresh, affordable food to communities that do not have easy access to it. Good WSJ read (gift link)

The goal is for the store to become profitable without any government subsidy within three years.

Writing about people donating trash is — and I kid you not — the only thing (so far) to almost get me fired. White people were LIVID. And organized to get my university fired for it.

This is the holy grail of whiteness, patriarchy, and capitalism in some surprising ways.

Bless that prof!
I had a womens studies professor try to coax a class to understand that it’s not ’wrong’ for an alcoholic homeless person to take your change you tossed and spend it on alcohol. People were livid lol. It really changed my perspective on giving. its freeing to give without expectation.

That it's just the Coast Guard means this is almost certainly a DHS thing and it's really about clearing the way for previously unemployable skinheads, Patriot Front and other Nazis to openly join ICE/CBP and meet their new recruitment quota.

A woman on TikTok did a very simple experiment:

With SNAP benefits paused, would churches give a poor mother with an infant who was starving a can of baby formula?

Spoiler alert: the Protestants failed.

One reason you need a public editor, representing the readers and their rights.
The question everyone is asking right now is this: NYT had deep access into all of this in real time and reported none of it. Why? In consequence, no NYT reporting on this subject is trustworthy.

Apples-to-apples, the Clinton email server dump had so much boring, banal email compared to this. But that didn't stop Trump and the GOP from running around in 2016 like it was Watergate. Other lesson: the news media has/had no discernible methodology for document dumps and proportional coverage.
Wild to watch playbook run cover for this particular Trump scandal
