man, @publichealthguy1.bsky.social was (afaik) the first former CDC person to publicly call *explicitly* for RFK's resignation, rather than gently scold him, and he's currently being called a piece of shit and dogpiled for saying vaccine hesitant parents are facing a bad information environment
I was pleased to see this.
These are the heating usage and cost of our four all electric houses here in southern WV.
It was a BRUTAL January and February, multiple weeks below 15F, a number of days around 0.
Still, at $.18/kwh the total monthly cost was $600-700 to heat all 4 houses. #heatpump
It's ok to simply condemn a military action as immoral without even questioning whether or not it's illegal. It can be immoral, condemnable, and unambiguously wrong without being illegal!
We ought therefore to begin with the heart, but our repentance ought also to be evinced by works. Now let us observe that Zaccheus does not make a present to God out of his extortions, as many rich men give to God a portion of what they have obtained by dishonesty, that they may the more freely pillage in future, and that they may be acquitted of the wrongs which they have formerly done. But Zaccheus devotes the half of his goods to God in such a manner, as to give, at the same time,
fruit of dishonest gain. Thus Zaccheus is not only ready to give satisfaction, if he has taken any thing by fraud, but shares his lawful possessions with the poor; by which he shows that he is changed from a wolf not only into a sheep, but even into a shepherd. And while he corrects the faults which had been formerly committed, he renounces wicked practices for the future, as God demands from his people, first of all, that they abstain from doing any act of injury. Zaccheus has not laid others under
I had a hunch Calvin’s commentary on Luke 19 might offer something instructive. He is often falsely accused of offering cheap grace.
I got an email from our solar folks saying that they’ve worked out some sort of commercial tax credit that makes it so new installations can get close to as good a deal as they could with the old federal tax credit. If you’re local and interested in solar, lmk and I’ll send you a link.
Wait - the corner of Olympic and Cloverfield, Santa Monica? Ladies and Gentlemen, that is almost exactly the location where the old Buffy offices stood. I believe we may owe thanks for this one to the Hellmouth.
Is that common? May need to rethink how my kid uses libby
24 total or concurrent?
Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
Anyone who tries to tell you that someone can’t possibly be a racist/white nationalist/etc because they have a Hispanic or Jewish wife hasn’t ever actually covered the far right. There’s loads of actual white nationalists with non-white or non-Christian significant others.

Subaru somehow managed to create the most convoluted headlight assembly of any car I have ever owned, but feeling accomplished at my ability to…change a light bulb 😂
QP below shows Grim has his facts wrong. His premise is also wrong. Under patriarchy, racist men often marry/date women from races they deem inferior. Under patriarchy the marriage isn’t an equal partnership. Were I to know Amy is Jewish, my opinion of Platner would not change.
Here is the thread with all of the detailed evidence showing that Graham Platner's wife has no Jewish ancestry.
I similarly looked at Platner and, other than a former stepfather, he and his surname are also not Jewish.
Every time I see this I revel in the sacred anonymity of the banker celebrating his claim he can say those words without repercussions.
I'm proud to be running for the Georgia Court of Appeals. Let’s get to work.
This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen.

None of these contrarian types who gladly went to work at HHS under anti-vax conspiracy theorist Robert Kennedy Jr. should ever work in academia again.
Me, a grammar pedant: "May 1". My teenage daughter, a grammar scofflaw: "It's May first. Why do you keep saying it like that?"
88 is an oddly specific number that is often fascist coded.

3. $240 a year policy that covers 8000 cops would cost $2m. That would settle 2 claims. They have more than 300 claims per year, average $200k each. I can’t imagine they can the proposed policy at the proposed price.
2. If they buy a $1m per event policy per cop, verdicts and settlements over that amount are still coming from the general fund.
1. If your average insurable cost is $80m a year, your premiums are going to be higher than that.
This isn’t how insurance works. 🤷
YOU ASKED FOR THIS!
