The acting CDC Director has no knowledge, training or experience in science/public health. Trump has no knowledge, training or experience in science/public health.

Both are calling to make the MMR vaccine into 3 separate shots, which makes absolutely no scientific or public health sense.

Acting CDC boss wants to break up MMR vaccine into three shots

Jim O’Neill joins President Donald Trump’s call for three distinct measles, mumps and rubella shots, claiming a separation would ‘reduce the risk of side effects’ and ‘maximize parental choice’

My single Red Hood issue was the 15th best-selling comic of September, like out of all serialized comics in America. Incredibly funny.

Women in comics have a very different experience breaking in and staying in and having career support than men, and that’s a problem for the industry now and for its future

When the nazis were coming into power, there was a lag before local law enforcement was fully on board. People were able to get police protection from nazi-aligned paramilitaries. Here, today, police look at rising fascism and say “Finally. We’ve been waiting for this.” www.notus.org/democrats/me...

Extra funny when you think about how Sinners, which features Michael B. Jordan gunning down Klansmen in broad daylight in slow-mo, is the 10th highest-grossing R-rated film of all time - higher than The Hangover, 300, Logan, John Wick 4, etc....

I refer to it not just as "X" but specifically as "Elon Musk's X" just to keep giving a little mental jog about this

Kat Tenbarge @kattenbarge.bsky.social · 9h

One of the reasons I insistently call it X and not Twitter is because X is quite literally a propaganda platform run by Elon Musk and heavily utilized by the Trump administration and that is notably distinct from Twitter

That also made me start bringing comics into my work in medicine and science, too, which again, just completely changed my life, finding connections between all the work I do gave me a new perspective on everything. Comics might break your heart but sometimes they can also put it back together.
