Jason Kander Swings for the Fences Podcast Episode · Secretly Sporty · April 20 · 28m

I'm biased but the Jason Kander episode of Secretly Sporty (an interview podcast about the fitness lives of arts people) is really good. It's got baseball! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/j...

This is genuinely amazing and I want people to shout it from the rooftops.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Thank you for the mention!

I got so stressed out, I had to bail on it half-way through. (It's extremely well-made. I just didn't have the emotional fortitude for it.)

Sunday NY Times crossword with "DUDED" as the correct solution for "GUSSIED (UP)".

Monday NY Times Spelling Bee with DUDED not accepted as a word.

NY Times disagrees with itself about "DUDED"

Returning to BlueSky to say that I co-created a podcast and it launched today. It's called Secretly Sporty and the host interviews creatives about their fitness routines/athletic passions and how those impact their artistic work. First ep features Alison Bechdel.

Experimental philosophy

Sorry but personally if a miniature horse woke me up from anesthesia by banging out nonsense on a miniature keyboard it would send me into a liminal space between life and death from which I would never return

maybe there's still some good left in this world after all

2 images from hackers as characters converse. "I've got a record. I was Zero Cool." "Zero Cool crashed 1.507 systems in one day, biggest crash in history. Front page New York Times August 10, 1988"

Never forget today, when, on this day in 1988, Zero Cool crashed 1,507 systems in one day.

He resigned the governor’s office in disgrace and currently holds no office.

Where is he going to propose this little law? A Panera on Long Island?

Chris Cuomo posting a deepfake of AOC the same week that Jim Acosta “interviews” a deepfake of a school shooting victim are both harbingers of how traditional media power players will help usher in the worst of the AI slop era

I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

Generational public health sabotage

I… will never forgive y’all.

‘Tremendous uncertainty’ for cancer research as US officials target mRNA vaccines Amid Trump cuts and state-level backlash, experts worry that progress in messenger RNA vaccines could stall

Over 120 mRNA cancer trials are now at risk as the Trump admin cuts funding & tells researchers to scrub “mRNA” from grant proposals.

What started as COVID fearmongering is now derailing life-saving cancer research.

Hope remains - but scientists say time is running out.

I also sing "A Blessing on our house, Archie Cat, Archie Cat; Such a good cat is she, Archie Cat, Archie Cat" to the tune of "The Dream" from Fiddler.

NYC is serious danger of ruining a fine tradition of only choosing the worst mayor

Here's your periodic reminder that political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

Voters want somebody who's got that dog in them. They see that in Trump, old & stupid as he is. They will never see it in the kind of candidate James Carville thinks ought to win.

I re-upped my MMR in 2019 due to a titer test saying I had faded immunity and I did get 2 shots, FWIW.
