The acting CDC Director has no knowledge, training or experience in science/public health. Trump has no knowledge, training or experience in science/public health.
Both are calling to make the MMR vaccine into 3 separate shots, which makes absolutely no scientific or public health sense.

Summer asked me to take her outside. She wants to get her steps in for this afternoon. We are trying to get a few laps up and down the driveway together once an hour.
While we walk Summer barks at the crows who like nothing better than to get a rise out of her. The crows stay on their safe power line perch.
I try to distract by pointing out the glorious cloud formations white against the blue sky.
We practice our deep breathing.
I don't think we are burning up very many calories but I feel a bit happier so it's worth the effort.
Summer says me too.

@jemmesedi A digital illustration depicts a laptop with two people seemingly emerging from the screen. The laptop is black and open, with a bright white glow emanating from the display. A red rectangle with the word “YouTube” in white block letters is positioned above the laptop, extending to the left. A person in a red shirt is on the left side of the screen, and a person in a blue jacket is on the right side, both holding large orange megaphones up to their mouths as if shouting. The illustration is set against a white background with a slight reflection underneath the laptop. The text on the red rectangle reads “YouTube”.

MOF-303 is a porous polymer, synthesized by Prof. Yaghi and his students, with a variety of uses incl harvesting water from air, even in desert air conditions.
Water molecules in ambient air stick to the internal surface — a process called adsorption — and increase the humidity inside the MOF to a point where the water condenses even at room temperature. When the MOF is heated slightly, the water is released and collected.

A lot of the photos in my collection aren’t perfectly in focus, but I have to buy them anyway because it was still a kitty that somebody loved! Besides, how could I resist the happy body language and little eyebrows on this one?
A rightwing late-night show may have bombed – but the funding behind it is no laughing matter
Conservative donors spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to make a rightwing Stephen Colbert-style talkshow

The science is in - annual COVID vaccines provide protection against severe disease and death for all age-groups, even for those with immunity from prior infection or vaccination.
"A study, published today in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that last season’s 2024–2025 mRNA COVID vaccines reduced people’s risk of emergency department visits by 29%, their risk of hospitalizations by 39% and their risk of death by 64%."

@PhillyCodeHound we have a issue about building that but haven't gotten around to it yet: https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/issues/1001
@bonfire @PhillyCodeHound@encryptr.net No worries. Good to know.
We're now finding out that as many as 70,000 people had their government IDs provided to prove their ages leaked by Discord. Like I wrote last week, this is an inherent risk (and made greater by a rushed process) of getting platforms to do age checks

@briankrebs I thought this was about Duolingo for a second. Seemed like such a formal status page for that!
On a donc encore eu une non-annonce macroniste (par son PM, démissionnaire, cette fois). C'est ça la "méthode" à laquelle "tient beaucoup" l'Élysée ?
On l'avait déjà capté pendant les confinements : quand c'était lui qui allait devant les caméras, y avait une annonce, quand c'était le PM, rien.
@mart1oeil 80% du temps c'était "soyons précis/rigoureux"dans les mots et l'autre, "ça sera à Macron d'annoncer moi j'ai fait le job de tractation" imposé par lui.
Trump regime has disappeared billions of dollars of taxpayers' money -- not even Congress has been able to trace what it's being spent on, and who's getting the loot.
Congress isn't barely trying -- Republicans are complicit and the Democrats are not just powerless but incompetent.
Some journalists from smaller organizations are trying. They don't have subpoena power.
Given Trump world's epic corruption, the unaccountable billions are plainly that way by by design.

Galaxy rise narrated by Carl Sagan.
Epstein, epstein, epstein.
We heard again there are photo's of #Epstein & Trump with young girls. There are photos. Also, witness reported that Epstein had Menaija first and later introduced her to trump. People have gone on record to say that. She was brought to the usa under questionable circumstances by one of Epstein's best friends. Is she "paid for" "is it something even darker?" Here's author, journalist, biographer Michael Wolff discussing what was likely an illegal immigration.
