The MMR vaccine is one of the most stunningly effective medical therapeutics in existence. It’s also safer than most of your everyday activities. This is simply an attempt to stop people from vaccinating.

It’s still a little bit wonderful (after years) to be on the subway & come up out of the tunnel onto the Manhattan Bridge & see the harbor & the Brooklyn Bridge, on the other side the traffic moving slightly out of sync. If you visit NYC, find a reason to take the N, Q, D or B to Brooklyn or back.

Glad to see this re-upping of “Ducks,” which is superb.

Asked in today’s ST Culture what his favourite book is by a living author, Jonathan Coe replies that he’s “a little bit obsessed with ‘Ducks: Two Years In The Oil Sands’ by the Canadian artist Kate Beaton”. Which did make me think how far comics have come in terms of cultural legitimacy.

The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.
