So the red lines that I thought were reasonable have come and gone. We're in a dangerous situation. Remember that most people in the world are good, but large organizations should be held at arms length. Understand your digital footprint as it can get you unwanted attention. Help whenever you can

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

Trump’s anti-vaxers may soon end the U.S. status as having eliminated measles. The CDC has confirmed 1,723 cases this year. Countries lose their elimination status, which we’ve held for 25 years, after 12 months of sustained transmission. The U.S., will reach that deadline at the end of 01/2026.

New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like:
“The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.”
“I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”

sexism is still sexism and racism is still racism. Framing them as "attacks on DEI" provides clinical detachment for the oppressor.
You'd think people in the news and information business would understand this stuff, so I have to assume it's just generalized industry editorial cowardice.

Unemployment for an entire generation isn’t ‘quiet time.’ It’s a failing labor market and a warning sign for the economy.
Kevin Hassett: "I think there could be a little bit of an almost quiet time in the labor market, because firms are finding that AI is making their workers so productive that they don't necessarily have to hire the new kids out of college and so on."
