It's #WorldSightDay

Prolonged screen or reading times can lead to eye strain, dry eyes, and headaches.

DO take breaks!

Use the 20-20-20 rule to help your eyes:
🖥️ After using a screen for 20 minutes
📏 Look at an object 20 feet away
🕓 For 20 seconds

Infographic titled “Avoid eye strain & headaches – follow the 20-20-20 rule”. It explains:
After 20 minutes spent using a screen, look at an object 20 feet (6 metres) away for at least 20 seconds.

Drug Rehabs Lure In Patients for Insurance Money—Then Leave Them on the Street

Operators promise high-end treatment, help addicts sign up for insurance then pile on charges for little in return, say former patients and insurers.

I wonder how much historical parental hesitancy to vaccinate kids with Gardasil interplays with this outcome.

And whether young adults whose parents didn’t vaccinate them with Gardasil led to them not getting a Covid vaccine.

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today.

h/t @tisserand.bsky.social

Scan of a typed letter from 1970, from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, addressed to "Joel Lipton, 622 N. Foothill Road, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90210"

It reads:

"Dear Joel:

I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen than it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call "American Virtues" who lack this faith in our country.

I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities.

Sincerely yours,

Charles M. Schulz"

New #crowdfund for #embroidered #patches. These designs have lived as posters for years and were recently converted to enamel pins. Now they're making the leap to patches. Back the campaign and if we hit our goals, we'll add four more designs to the set. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c...

A screenshot of the BlueSky app. There are 3 posts. The first post is a video of a person wearing an inflatable frog costume at the Portland ICE facility protest dance while ICE shoots pepper balls at the protesters. The second post quotes a Tumblr meme about fungus, “You cannot kill me in any way that matters.” The third post completes the Tumblr post, “Dance exists as an extant form of protest.”

Today, Beau Baumann grapples with a fundamental challenge for the post-Trump era: to re-build state capacity requires a government that is seen as legitimate, yet it is precisely the erosion of administrative legitimacy that has enabled Trump to carry out his deconstructive agenda.

Rebuilding State Authority In A Post-Trump America

In the ruins of the administrative state after Trump, many on the left see an opportunity to design a New Deal-type reconstruction agenda. But building state capacity requires a government that is…
