Headline reading "at least 89% of mass shootings were perpetrated by men."
A reminder, on the day following another mass shooting: it's a gun problem, and it's a masculinity problem.
Framing instances of gun violence largely as a domestic issue or a mental health issue ignores these glaring truths. wapo.st/3QQEH6Y

I have many in mind, but I remember this the most bc I had the chance to discuss it for a class: "Ovulatory cycle effects on tip earnings by lap dancers: economic evidence for human estrus?"
The evidence is overwhelming - COVID vaccines #ProtectYouBoth!! True then, true now - equitable, community centered outreach makes a difference in helping pregnant & lactating folks get vaccinated.
New research lead by @marcela-pfaff-nash.bsky.social shows children living in low-resource, rural settings experience intestinal challenges that can persist well beyond early childhood, highlighting the role of globally varying intestinal function for childhood health and development.
Of course this administration, which loves to talk a big game on "health," is trying to protect a pesticide company from legal accountability.

AI scribes suck. Check your clinical notes, everyone! I’ve had them cite the wrong body part (left vs right) for surgery, state that I have a diagnosis that I’d specifically said I do NOT have, mistranscribe my symptom descriptions, and more! Genuinely dangerous for so many reasons.
It's not an exaggeration to say this will result in genocidal-scale death. And I don't mean in the distant, speculative future. Just the tens of thousands of pollution deaths in the relative near-term (Free link.) www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/c...

The MAHA Dietary Guidelines I: Personal Responsibility vs. Public Health Policy
This is the first of a series of posts I will be writing about the new Dietary Guidelines for America, 2025-2030 Yesterday, I gave an overview of the guidelines, finding them cheerful, but muddled, contradictory,…
“The recommendation to limit saturated fats remains intact. Yet the guidelines also encourage people to eat foods higher in saturated fats… “It’s almost laughable that they kept the 10% limit for saturated fat while really pushing red meat and dairy… Good luck trying to circle that square.”

Going against my personal rules to post this, but …
Veep is telling us that he likes Grok bc it is most pseudoscientific.
ANTHROPOLOGISTS!
