If allying yourself with an anti-vax lunatic and helping him gut public health in America while children die of vaccine-preventable diseases doesn’t get you expelled from academia, then the whole system is utterly broken.

People keep insisting that doesn't make him mercenary and I have given up on pointing out the statements about how much he enjoyed his combat time in Iraq & Afghanistan

I served, you're absolutely full of shit. The poster or book with forbidden tattoos is older than either of us. And I was a combat medic, saw plenty of infantry with ink and none of it racist symbols. Because they wanted to stay in the military.

Working on my talk a little before it's time to make dinner, and just so I make myself perfectly clear: "I am making a moral case against AI, not a practical one."

okay so this seems pretty clear. he knows what it is, he did it on purpose, he chose keeping it over his career with the Marines, if we know this then Susan Collins will also know it, it will 100% come up in the general, let's be done talking about this guy as a real candidate

I’d just like to remind all of us who are scrambling to get rents paid that this is manufactured scarcity.

We absolutely have the money and the tools to prevent this crisis: the wealth and power brokers are just refusing.

Patients say measles 'worse than expected' as Utah hits 350+ infections, doctors say Health officials plead with residents to vaccinate against measles as Utah hits 358 infections.

Dr. Leisha Nolen, Utah state epidemiologist, said that in the communities she visited "they kept on telling me they wish they'd known beforehand how bad measles was."

"It is not a mild infection, it is not a mild virus; it is a severe illness."

I am so sick of them. Horrible people. I cannot wrap my head how they think bringing suffering to fellow humans will make them ascend to heaven as the chosen ones?!? This is a cult.

Cannot tell you how depressing it is to read that people are simply refusing to read nonfiction after you’ve worked really hard to write a nonfiction book you believe in, in case anyone is wondering why I’m posting so much about my book which comes out in a few weeks #BookSky

There’s Another University President with Deep Ties to Epstein Joi Ito stepped down at MIT in 2019 in view of his Epstein connections. He’s now a university presidentβ€”with more and more questions to answer.

Anti-vaxxers are bad parents. Not vaccinating your child is abuse.

We should eliminate all non-medical exemptions for vaccines.

Sorry, not sorry.

Unsurprisingly, the roots of the conflict are in Cameroon’s colonial history when it was divided between the French and English.

Jasmine Crockett losing the senate race in Texas is the same story of racism we’ve seen before. Ken Paxton and the boys didn’t suppress voters in Dallas because they are afraid of Talarico. People love to scream β€œlisten to Black Women” until it’s time to put out their money where their mouth is.

Bhattacharya urges measles vaccination as US activity increases

After remaining silent for almost a year about the U.S. measles outbreak, NIH/CDC poseur Jay Bhattacharya is now recommending measles vaccines.

And this is where he gets to see the impact of the destruction of trust in public health and vaccines, for which he is partially responsible.

I am considering joining American Association of Anthropology, but would like to hear how the association helped others with their career & research before making a decision. I am also considering joining the sub-groups/associations on biological anthropology & feminist anthropology. Can you help?

Cats don’t land on their feet by magic. 🐱 A new study shows their spine is built for it: a flexible thoracic region + stiffer lumbar region enable sequential rotationβ€”front first, then backβ€”during air-righting.

Equal Pay and Substantive Economic Citizenship - Gender Policy Report The Equal Pay Act has proven inadequate for closing pay gaps. Congress can do more to address the causes of race and gender wage gaps.

The Equal Pay Act was passed in 1963 but a racialized gender wage gap persists. We need new policies that:
βœ… Challenge labor market practices that undervalue women-dominated fields
βœ… Ensure pay transparency
βœ… Hold employers accountable

It sounds like visitors were taunting the bonobos. I hope the zoo puts up some barriers to keep people a bit away from the glass.

Also, while bonobos are generally a bit more peaceful than chimps, they still can be aggressive!
