Anton Chekhov (1860–1904) was one of Russia’s great observers of the human interior. Trained as a physician, he dissected the Russian life, the so-called “Russian soul” with clinical precision.

The CDC just announced a new study on hepatitis B vaccination on newborns in Guinea-Bissau – a move that researchers call “highly unethical” and “extremely risky”. Happy to team up with @katlay.bsky.social on this story:

Where does trump find these conspiracy nuts? Nazis? Secret labs? Ticks as weapons? I thought they were just occasional vectors of infectious agents. And check a chart, doc. Plum to Old Lyme by boat is a bit more than 8 miles, not 25.

🧵 Let’s be so effing for real right now. The Department of Education saying these jobs are no longer PROFESSIONAL is dumb as hell and insulting as fuck. It takes YEARS of post-graduate training, including passing certifying exams, to earn degrees in these fields. #fdt #momsky

I didn’t realize it at the time, but my protagonist was describing Trump’s hatred of everyone different from himself and all DEI efforts to alter that corrosive behavior.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Having spent a fair amount of time in the White Mountains and on the Washington summit, I’m still amazed at the number of people who need to be rescued (or sent to the morgue) on a regular basis. It’s not a walk in the park. Pay attention. Gear up. Or just stay home.
