Upgraded my iPhone to iOS 26 Beta 5. 🍎
"sous vide my brain" is a heck of an image. *chef's kiss*
I joined eight former CDC directors—spanning Republican and Democratic administrations—to share this warning: our nation’s health is at risk. The very systems that protect us from disease, cancer, and future health threats are being dismantled.
There are few things Elon Musk knows less about than birth control. However, his “seed the world to save Western Civilization” fantasies know no bounds. It’s also worth noting that he’s retweeting this British racist for his “facts.” hopenothate.org.uk/2024/06/20/e...
I sometimes forget who the CEO of Bluesky is. It's delightful.
It is insane to me that the richest man in the world is using his global megaphone to call for millions of British people to be rounded up and deported (including my family) and somehow this isn’t even news.
R U SURE / T SÛR, ANDY? I need you to be sure. 😅

Vinay Prasad of the FDA demanded that @joho.bsky.social’s YouTube channel be removed, and it was. Dr. Howard regularly pointed out the numerous flaws in Prasad’s statements about COVID19 vaccines and other topics. You can read about it here.
Happy Labour 🇨🇦/Labor 🇺🇸 Day
Good morning ☕️
Perfection.
As the British would say: "in the bin". 🗑️
Man orders 1 water. Man orders 18,000 waters. Man orders -1 water. Man orders water, well done. Man orders water, no cup. Man orders spicy water.
I hate to weigh in here, but agree. My children aren't old enough to have smartphones for distraction purposes but they *do* have Apple Watches they can use for calls and messages if needed and it provides true peace of mind in various circumstances. 10/10. And they go to school in *Canada*.

@stephenking.bsky.social has 1M followers here but I didn't see it on this timeline. I wonder how many he has there...

clicking on a "history of irc" video and remembering, yeah, that's where i first heard the news about september 11 2001, a wallops on freenode
I don't so much, but the order of arguments ...... ...... ......
Welp! Couldn't my #COVID shot at #CVS appointment today. I was informed I will only be able to get it by prescription in the state of Georgia. Let's see if my healthcare system will provide shots for medical staff. I will update you on this as well.🤷🏽♀️

@citizencohn.bsky.social shares some of my story and the work that I have done on public health with thousands of scientists and implementers. We ended outbreak after outbreak TOGETHER. Many of those outbreaks occurred because of RFK Jr’s rhetoric. www.thebulwark.com/p/kennedy-rf...
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
Where do people sell shit online these days? Facebook marketplace? I have a bunch of stuff to get rid of before I move
Now I'm going down the rabbit-hole!
I read it may not be meant to be a single station, but various on the Piccadilly Line, Southgate Station (Piccadilly Line), being the closest.
I forget the exact station but I have a distinct memory that reminds me of this.
Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

Just saw someone refer to Cheryl Hines as The Marvelous Mrs. Measles and 💀💀💀💀💀💀
RFK Jr receiving the coveted Stephen Miller endorsement for scientific credibility is like an arsonist being praised by a pyromaniac for his firefighting skills
In the spirit of grace and humanity, I’d just like to take a moment to share a giant middle finger with all the privileged fuckos who normalized this 🖕
This guy does a great job nailing the fact that RFK Covid rules means we have to weigh endangering someone who is immune compromised or not seeing them. It is obscene www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6GBXgxK/
Goodness, what did they do?!
Wrote about Comer/Mace attempting to doxx and intimidate Wikipedia editors in an effort to force their own viewpoint onto Wikipedia.
Research posts on Bluesky are more original — and get better engagement www.nature.com/articles/d41... "Bluesky users engage with posts more than do users of X." "Bluesky may well become the next X for scientific discussion and will persist in the long term."
It's a bit confusing there's a .co.uk (web, not handle), too!
Should the handle in your bio be @the-independent.com?
Good morning! MAGA/MAHA dude Jay Bhattacharya will forever be remembered as RFK Jr’s biggest champion (he campaigned for him/spoke at his rallies) & the NIH director who presided over the destruction of US health research—including childhood brain cancer research 🤬 www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...
Honestly, the only thing even in the same league as vaccines is sanitation. Antibiotics are the next level down.

And now government doctors got my entire channel removed. Don’t worry. I won’t base my entire identity around this or claim it is worse than covid. 😂
Oh god yes this
No, about to join you on Day 1! But I remember you killing the 75 hard challenge and just kept going! 😀
Alright folks, I'm up to my old hi-jinx again. This time we're doing #100DaysOfMovement Rules: Move your body in a beneficial way according to your personal capacity for 100 days and document it (post/pic/vid/whatever). Join, cheer or lurk - do whatever feels right :)
See you on Day 200! 👏 😅
OK, fine... "Magnificent Eight".
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
BOOM. The federal appeals court rules Trump's tariffs illegal, because they are. There's no national emergency, and so the power to tariff a country rests with Congress. Trump admin has lost at every stage of the process, but stay tuned for the Supremes to chime in.
Not ready for school holidays to be over, or for the colder weather.
Happy Friday?

What typically triggers verification?
I am thoroughly enjoying iA Presenter on iOS/iPadOS!
I'm telling my son this. He's gonna hate it.
With Jim O'Neill appointed as Interim CDC director, we're seeing a pattern First, RFK fires eminent scientists Then he appoints loyalists without credentials He then takes the advice of loyalists Finally he says, "you see, I have restored trust in science." RFK did the same thing with ACIP
Good evening 👋
It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.
Tonight one of the CDC’s top public health leaders, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, has resigned from his post. Below is his full resignation letter. You should read every word. This is a truly scary moment for public health in America. 1/2
He's gonna make kids go to work camps because he can atmospherically deduce chakra misalignment.
Whoa. *needle scratch*
Good afternoon ☕️
Congratulations Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce. Now I have to explain to my children what a podcast is.
“The Fed was off limits” If only that policy applied to the entire administration.
It looks like JayDee V in in a pull-quote about a cushion...
Well, good for them! The thing that I appreciate about Kelce (at least from the outside) is that he seems to want and love Swift as she is, on her own terms, and aims build a life together working from that baseline. If true, good on him, and good on them. They will help each other be more.
And maybe some software!

Absolutely wild. The only thing I'd flag here is the: Claude Code — Anthropic’s chatbot that specializes in “vibe coding,” I would it's *primarily* AI-assisted coding, as vibe coding has different connotations.
Maybe he can't see the value and doesn't want to overpay?
Maybe we shouldn’t let someone who doesn’t believe in germs and who thinks it’s okay to eat roadkill and swim in contaminated ponds be in charge of our national food safety.

Everyone else from politicians to CEOs, take note.
Heck yes, about time.
Today Taylor Swift accomplished something no AI researcher ever could (made an announcement without posting on X)
A whistleblower complaint says that the personal data of over 300 million Americans was copied to a private cloud account to allow access by members of the Department of Government Efficiency team.
I am blessed to have had two. Both wonderful.
My father-in-law turns 80 today! 🎉
White House statement certainly feels calibrated to deny this as clearly as possible without angering MAHA.
That's disappointing.
Okay, Nuvaxovid Update for Canada. This is the final of the Canadian vaccine updates for this fall, and unfortunately this is not a good one (at least for this year). As far as I can see, no application was put through Health Canada for approval this year either.
Good morning ☕️
fwiw GS's line is: "Challenges to Fed independence pose clear downside risks to the Dollar in our view, owing to both concerns around US institutions, and to the read-through to lower front-end US yields."
the sellside is really tiptoeing around the Fed shitshow. Almost as if Krugman is right that 'the real message here is “If you get in our way we will ruin your life.”'
Also, welcome!
*checks seat location* 😅
I don't know President Nixon for "his love for art" 🤡
Exactly how I felt this evening. Ridiculous.
This is such a wholesome episode of @scott.hanselman.com’s podcast about the development of Hank Green’s Focus Friend app. Really gets me thinking about how to use my skills and experiences to do something cool and what making my own luck might look like. pca.st/episode/0736...
