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.

The acting director of the CDC called for new, separate MMR shots. That would be "remarkably complicated, time-consuming, costly, but more importantly unnecessary," @jasonlschwartz.bsky.social told me:

Alarm as CDC calls for separate MMR vaccines despite measles outbreak

Concerns that three separate shots would be more costly and time-consuming, and keep kids from being vaccinated

You all helped make 19-year old Ahmed's from Gaza's dream of enrolling in game artist studies come true. Now, he needs additional funding to pay for living expenses. Let's prove this industry tries to take care of anyone that shares our dream of making games.

Samantha Ferreira Is Creating An Anime Mag @sam-animeherald.bsky.social · 5h

VOD's up - still respect the hell out of the flex, here, where they fully animated TM Network's music video, nearly shot-for-shot, to use Bae, IRyS, and Kronii as stand-ins for Tetsuya Komuro, Takashi Utsunomiya, and Naoto Kine.

It was a choice, and I appreciate it.

the only appropriate response will be to triple down on supporting the targeted groups rather than to do what so many people usually do which is to run away from them.

President Donald Trump's threatened crackdown on the finances and activities of liberal non-profits and groups opposed to his agenda is a multi-agency effort with top White House aide Stephen Miller playing a central role, according to officials.

You need numbers. I can't tell you how important YouTube trailer numbers are. I pitch indie coverage basically every day, and the metric for what gets covered and what doesn't is internal numbers for previous coverage and YouTube.

If the audience isn't interested, it doesn’t get spin. That's it.

Mike Rose @mikerose.bsky.social · 3h

Obviously, massive MASSIVE thanks to the press who *have* covered us -- the reviews we did get were lovely to read

But like, what exactly do we need to achieve for RPS, Kotaku, Polygon, IGN, Gamespot, etc etc to acknowledge us anymore?

How the heck are smaller teams meant to get the word out?

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

If you are willing to throw away entire groups of people to protect your insular strategy that will only protect you instead of protecting everyone then I don’t want your leaders and I sure as hell don’t want to be associated with you.

the tallest stone @talleststone.bsky.social · 23h

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

Jim Lee openly disparaging AI in no way guarantees anything, no one knows what the future of AI is and no one knows who will be in charge at DC Comics down the line. But I think it's important that a popular artist publicly shot AI down. Fans and artists ignorant of or using AI need to hear this.
