RFK Jr.: "We are losing scientists, researchers, and technology..."

The number of people on my feed noting that George freaking Washington is rolling in his grave at our current military leader reversing course on flu vax requirement &/or that disease has killed more soldiers than combat is making me very happy, and mostly countering the rage I feel at the reversal

HEAD QUARTERS MORRIS TOWN 12TH MARCH 1777 Sir You are hereby required immediately to send me an exact return of your regiment, and to send all your recruits, who have had the small pox to join the Army. Those, who have not, are to be sent to Philadelphia, and put under the direction of the commanding officer there, who will have them inoculated. You are to leave a sufficient number of proper officers to carry on the recruiting service, who are to bring up their men as soon as they are ready. No pleas, of delay, on account of the dispersion of the officers can be admitted, as every commanding officer ought to know where his inferior officers are, and they what recruits they have, and where they are to be found. You are to remain at Philadelphia, to procure arms clothing &c., and send on, your Major to Camp, to receive your detachments. Your Lieut. Colonel is also to come on, as soon as circumstances will permit. I am Sir Your most humble servant Go: Washington George Washington wrote this letter to Lt. Colonel David Grier on March 12, 1777. In it, Washington instructs Grier to send new soldiers to Philadelphia so they could be inoculated for smallpox. Washington wanted to make sure that his troops were not affected by disease, and he believed that inoculation would help with that. So, just before this letter was written, Washington created a mandated system of inoculating his soldiers.

George Washington wrote this letter to Lt. Col. David Grier on March 12, 1777. In it, Washington instructs Grier to send new soldiers to Philadelphia so they could be inoculated for smallpox... just before this letter was written, Washington created a mandated system of inoculating his soldiers."

Nothing has killed more soldiers in the history of humanity than disease. While worst is a more complicated question Hegseth is absolutely the dumbest secretary of defense the United States has ever had. bsky.app/profile/ones...

I know this started as/is mostly a CFB thing, but I've decided this year I'm doing daily women's sports-related ones.
So, 20.05 (plus fees) in honor of the year Michigan Softball became the first team east of the Mississippi to win the WCWS/national title.

This is good advice, but also an alternative is to get your titers checked first, and they can check a bunch of vaccine/titer-preventable diseases in one go...

Why do so many of these people that I have to deal with to get checks reissued since my mother’s death think I’m daft?!?!?

I’d love a credit card-shaped one, too. I think there’s third-party ones but…

If anyone wants to go be Belichick's Director of On-Campus Recruiting, the job is apparently open:

Went to go check the $0s, and there are no longer any.

And also “Not Ready to Make Nice,” apparently just for good measure. That is RANGE.

I really need to get to a Canes game at some point...

This keeps coming back into my feed and it is not helping my “no, you do not need a $210 magenta Royals jacket” conversation with my YOLO side.

Oh that third one. I'd blocked it out.

An official NASA portrait of astronaut Sunita Williams wearing a full white Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) spacesuit. The bulky suit displays an American flag patch on the left shoulder, a mission patch on the right, and various controls on the chest pack; she holds the gold-visored helmet. With long dark hair framing her smiling face, she poses confidently in front of a large draped American flag against a cloudy Earth-toned backdrop, symbolizing American space exploration.

A color photograph of NASA astronaut Sunita Williams captured mid-stride running on a treadmill in zero gravity, secured by a white harness and bungee cords attached to her waist and shoulders. She wears a navy blue sleeveless top and shorts, athletic shoes, and gray socks, with her curly dark hair floating weightlessly. The busy ISS module around her features blue handrails, equipment racks, cables, monitors, and various floating items.

NASA astronaut Sunita Williams completed the #BostonMarathon in 2007 in 4:23:46 from the International Space Station while orbiting the Earth at ~17,500 mph. First person to run a marathon in space.

She qualified for Boston on Earth with a time of 3:29:57 in the Houston Marathon.

Ah. I am sadly not familiar.

Is the W&L donor one person cuz that is such a round number...

Macbooks and iPhone Pros in that brighter pink they did the desktop in.

Went to make a donation to get my actual alma mater on the board and found them culled from the list of schools, so I guess that means more money for the Michigan $ cannon to make up for the incoming leap…

Per a release from the school, former Florida HC Kelly Rae Finley will join Aaron Roussell’s staff at Virginia as the Associate Head Coach

There was a restaurant in the same area the terrible lemon one was that did it with a brown sugar simple. That one was excellent.
