yes, it’s really that bad.
If new proposals detailed in an FDA memo are put into place, experts told me it would mean the end of annual flu shots. And end of most vaccines for pregnant people. And maybe the end of updates to pneumonia vaccines. And more.

Existing disability services are deeply underfunded, aggressively audited, means-tested constantly, and can be labyrinthine to even access or maintain without assistance. As someone who spent two decades as a cog in that system, concerns about fraud are overblown compared to the real existing need.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

Former vice president Dick Cheney has died, at 84, with the blood of millions on his hands. His legacy will far outlive him as the man responsible for wars that have killed and displaced millions abroad; and who worked diligently to lay the groundwork for fascist authoritarianism in the U.S.
War Criminal Dick Cheney Dead at 84, With Blood of Millions on His Hands
Cheney’s legacy more than outlives him; he reshaped the very structures of war and authoritarianism at home and abroad.

This is *stunningly* disingenuous, and the fact that Singal continues to enjoy a career writing at the highest levels about a topic that he either unwilling or incapable of discussing honestly is such an indictment of the Anglo-American prestige media.

![your shell lets you run many programs (“jobs”) in the same terminal tab
programs can either be:
foreground
background
stopped (which is more like “paused”)
& runs a program in the background
for example I like to convert 100 files in parallel like this:
for i in `seq 1 100`
do
convert $i.png $i.jpg &
done
jobs lists backgrounded & stopped jobs
$ jobs
[1] Running python blah.py &
[2] Stopped vim
use the numbers to bring them to the foreground or background (like fg %2), kill them (kill %2), or disown them
when you close a terminal tab all jobs are killed with a SIGHUP signal
you can stop this with disown or by starting the program with nohup: disown %1 (job number goes here) nohup my_program &
a trick to kill programs if Ctrl+C doesn’t work
press Ctrl+Z to stop the program
run kill %1 to kill it (or kill -9 %1 if you’re feeling extra murderous)
a little flowchart
Three boxes, labelled “running in foreground”, “stopped”, and “running in background”
Ctrl+Z goes from “running in foreground” to “stopped” fg goes from “stopped” to “running in foreground” fg goes from “running in background” to “running in foreground” bg goes from “stopped” to “running in background”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nzrozayxq764zbgl4qtp5ald/bafkreigxoajfoayzbyucv22q6daqvpvcjlftkkhbeaajib5mbri3cwj5fq@jpeg)
