This whole fuckery of destroying public health including vaccines and the let 'er rip folks? This is the data over time that burns their arguments down. 100% organic food to boot before the 1950s.

From @bretdevereaux.bsky.social 's excellent blog acoup.blog/2025/07/18/c...
The long-run history of child mortality. Shown is the share of children who died before reaching the end of puberty. The age cut-off varies slightly between studies, but is generally around 15. Basically a flat line since the year 0 CE at around 50% dropping substatially beginning around 1880, hitting 27% in 1950 and 4.3% in 2022. Norway, Japan, Estonia, and Slovenia have the lowest mortality rates at 0.3% in 2022.

Seems pretty on point from @emptywheel.bsky.social especially the follow on about moderation guardrails being dismantled.

Since returning to office, Trump has dismantled every tool the US created to win the Cold War. It doesn’t need to be the case that Trump has stashed his Administration with actual Russian agents — narcissism and venality explain much of what we’re seeing — but there are somewhere between two and twenty Trump advisors who I have good reason to suspect are Russian agents

When you scroll and think “fair, but unusually honest from the US media in 2025”… before finding out it is talking about Myanmar.

Timly reminder from the FT in early 2024: www.ft.com/content/a27f...
In a timely warning, Eswar Prasad, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, highlights China's tendency to delete data series that show worrying signs. The authorities want to create good vibes, but it doesn't instil much confidence in them and, Prasad argues, is no substitute for action

I love the flyover starting the Boeing Classic. Also: the engines on modern jets are quite amazingly quiet compared to even 20 years ago.
