Melrose was supposed to undergo a complete streets makeover from Highland to Fairfax that would have installed stormwater gardens to mitigate flooding, among other critical safety improvements. The previous councilmember killed the project

Crazy for DOOM (as King Geedorah) rhyming ‘biker with the best crank’ with ‘sniper in the west bank’ in 2003. RIP.

Al Jazeera has published the names of every journalist killed since 7 Oct 2023.

231 Palestinian journalists have been slaughtered in Gaza. A whole generation of reporters wiped out while many of their colleagues in the West simply shrugged.

Sweet thank you!

Does #icanhazpdf work over here on Bluesky like it does on that other site? Was one of the best features tbh

Wikipedia: Louis Lasagna Louis Cesare Lasagna (February 22, 1923 - August 6, 2003) was an American physician and professor of medicine, known for his revision of the Hippocratic Oath. (1] Louis Lasagna

^ Revision of Hippocratic oath Throughout Lasagna's career he wrote and lectured extensively on a variety of topics. He was well known for his simple eloquence, as well as his sense of humor and humanity in addressing such controversial topics as birth control, abortion, euthanasia, and medical experimentation on humans. In 1964, Lasagna wrote a modernized version of the Hippocratic Oath, 121 which emphasized a holistic and compassionate approach to medicine. (Highlighted by me:) Today, the "Lasagna Oath" |31 has been adopted by many medical colleges.

HHS official halts CDC reports and health communications for Trump team review The pause in "public communications" through Feb. 1 includes new guidance and regulations, according to a memo obtained by NBC News.

Public health is one of those things that you won’t miss until it’s gone.

Info blackout at the CDC, FDA and NIH combined with Trump withdrawing from the World Health Organization is a recipe for disaster.

Americans and the world need this information to make informed choices about risks to health

"You pay every time you board a bus, and that makes you think about whether you want to ride it. If you paid every time you used a parking space, you'd also think about whether you want to drive. Free parking doesn’t mean free markets; it often means freeloading."

One of the most helpful things you could share with people right now. Five free workshops for new organizers over December and January.

The show arrived in the midst of Ronald Reagan's presidential administration and harked back to another button-down era, the one Mr. Reubens lived as a child: the 1950s. "I saw it as very Norman Rockwell, he told The New York Times in 2016, "but it was my Norman Rockwell version of the '50s, which was more all-inclusive." Laurence Fishburne, S. Epatha Merkerson and other actors of color were in the cast. Gilbert Lewis, who was Black, was the King of Cartoons. "Not just anybody - the king!" Mr. Reubens said. "That came out of growing up in Florida under segregation. I felt really good about that."

When your right-wing nudnik friends say "Do you have to make EVERYTHING political?" re: Paul Reubens' death, note that Reubens' humor was political *to him.* Pee-wee's biggest adventure was giving us a glimpse of a more inclusive world.

I feel like my generation experienced Peak Internet and we’re now on a downward trend.

Google Search sucks. You can’t trust Amazon ratings. Twitter & Reddit are at war with their users. Every useful news site is paywalled and every garbage one is free.

Turns out 2010s were the good old days.
