imo the actual threat to capital-A America is not the Trump administration but that the Trump administration's behaviors will not be disincentivized enough
flip-flopping back and forth between breaking things and fixing things every 4-8 years means eventually it'll stay broken

Stuff like this will obviously be very easy to undo and clearly will be undone, like it would be totally non-controversial even with the most milquetoast new Dem POTUS you could imagine, but it is genuinely just Not Good when even the basic names of institutions start ping ponging every 4-8 years

Robert Kennedy Jr. must be impeached and removed along with the likes of Jay Bhattacharya, Marty Makary, Vinay Prasad, and Tracy Beth Høeg.

U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

Everyone wants to make “sense” of things, but we are all currently hostage to an irrationalist epistemic environment. You might as well just read the entrails of a slaughtered goat to divine where events are headed.

Let’s talk about the size of trucks & SUVs in the city. My column on the virtue & status signalling of vehicle bloat.
Shawn Micallef: This truck ad shows why Toronto needs smaller vehicles — if only the carmakers wanted to sell them
A car comically overloaded with plywood? It’s a good ad for a pickup — but also a sign of the incredible amount of money, weight and energy being wasted on

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Ever since the Newt Gingrich era, I’ve seen Republicans repeatedly shut down the US government and the media always treats it as a failure of negotiation instead of recognizing that conservatives don’t WANT a government. Sarah Kendzior lays it out here 👇🏼

Megachurches are a perfect distillation of everything wrong with modern American evangelical Christianity. They're an opportunity for people to assuage their consciences and identify themselves socially and politically as "Christians" without putting forth any effort--and all while being conned.
I have never understood "mega-churches". It seems geared towards undermining or corrupting any actual pastoral work.

In case you’re wondering, it’s barely fall & our children’s hospital is already almost always full with kids boarding in the ER.
And the pediatric workforce is stretched thin.
Our system does not have the capacity to care for the influx of vaccine preventable diseases that is coming.
