With KFF getting mixed up with KFC, it's better than with our old name (Kaiser Family Foundation), where we got mixed up with Kaiser Permanente. We have no connection at all to the HMO.

Writers—we use em dashes without wasting water.

Here’s the thing I wish everyone could hold in their minds about writers—we love em dashes. We use em dashes. We are humans and not AI. We will not be deleting our em dashes just because AI uses them too. We were here first. You can pry my em dashes from my cold dead hands. F*ck AI.

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

"Red" states tend to be more rural, but I wish the media would characterize hospitals by their geography, not the voting patterns of the states they happen to be in.

Dr. Edith Parker from the University of Iowa reflects on the powerful impact of academic public health. While the field tends to be humble, it plays a critical role in training the public health workforce and conducting cutting-edge research that drives policy change. #WeAreAcademicPublicHealth

BREAKING

Dr. Jane Goodall has died. She was 91.

It is impossible to sum up the impact she has had on our world and on science in a social media post.

She lived a long and incredible life but I am devastated.

This is amazing! For MLB fans out there, this is Curt Flood type stuff, but potentially more impactful.

Not equating professional sports with colonialism, but her grandpa, who negotiated Sierra Leone's independence from Great Britain, has to be proud!

Incredibly brave of Napheesa Collier to call out the flaws she sees in the W’s leadership in this way. She established herself as one of the most powerful voices and leaders in the league with Unrivaled and this is further proof of her willingness to publicly demand better.

It feels like an insult to the notion of objective reality to invoke “experts” to weigh in on a numerical fact you can verify with a pocket calculator
