was in 1997. Don't freak out. *Do* ask yourself when your last Tdap booster was. In the US (& Canada), adults should be getting them every 10 yrs. (at your doctor or pharmacy); per the CDC, pregnant women should get vaxxed/boosted between the "27th through 36th week of each pregnancy, preferably...

CDC graphic on the diphtheria/pertussis/tetnus vax schedule. Kids/tweens DTaP at 2, 4, & 6 months; 15-18 months; 4-6 years; Tdap at 11-12 years Adults: Td or Tdap every 20 years. It doesn't mentioon pregnant adults, but they'll need a dose, too - ask your doctor

It's not just the Haitians: "The 12 Hong Kong citizens whose cases POLITICO was briefed on all have been released from ICE custody because of rulings by immigration courts, but they are forced to wear ankle monitors and are restricted from traveling outside of their immediate area."

I’m in DC scheduled to give this talk today. But the organizers flagged slides in my deck that mention racism, structural gaslighting, New Jim Code and other themes that are off limits in the Land of the Free.

Instead of gun control the health department gave us 8 of these steel lock boxes to give out to parents with guns and suicidal teens.

A yellow and black box with a steel lock box there is a sticker from the department of health supporting the store it safe initiative and it is also supported by Ohio AAP.

Idk. There are many materialisms. "Women join the labor force and like it" and "advanced economies don't require ten living kids to work the family farm and replace the dead kids" are other ones

Si vous l'avez manqué hier, rencontre avec Yannick Lebrun, danseur français de la compagnie Alvin Ailey, à l'occasion de leur tournée à Paris. A bientôt 20 ans de carrière dans cette troupe, il nous raconte l'héritage Alvin Ailey et pourquoi ses ballets sont toujours aussi vivants.

Not as much as he paid Leonard Leo: “Seid, 94, made news in 2022 for donating $1.6 billion to a conservative political action group run by Leonard Leo, in what is considered the biggest political advocacy donation in history.”

“6-12 months ago the large AI labs started buying bio data this spend is starting to ramp very aggressively. … this shift will distort the bio startup market in a bunch of ways.” I also have heard AI labs are buying genetics/genomics data. 1/

@uninsightful X.com 6-12 months ago the large labs started buying bio data this spend is starting to ramp very aggressively. the labs are somewhat indiscriminate buyers with enormous budgets. the therapeutics market has long had buyers of data (large and small pharma) but they've historically been the exact opposite of huge-budget and indiscriminate this shift will distort the bio startup market in a bunch of ways. there will be a lot of short-termist behavior to try to get in front of this capital firehouse. but unlike the Al data labelers (mercor, et al) and the robotics labelers (mecka, et al), the bio startups serving up this data have a chance to emerge from this period with businesses that don't rely on selling data the best bio startups will use these sudden resources the labs are dumping on them to

Bronx residents will be exempted from new Medicaid work requirements due to the county's high unemployment rate. New York notified CMS that it intends to implement this hardship exemption. The threshold = 8% unemployment rate or 1.5x the national average (whichever is less).

Wilber was finally able to undergo surgery on Thursday—11 days after he was shot. “When ICE can shoot a man in the back and then barely give him any medical treatment and let him suffer, there’s a reason for that because we have gotten to a point where we see people as less than human.”

Following the brutal killings of Houston dad Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Maine dad Johan Sebastián this past summer, ICE’s acting director claimed all officers would be equipped with body cams by the end of August. The recruit who shot Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez in the back wasn’t using one:
