New meta-analysis of 26 published studies concludes that AVs will lead people to use cars a lot more — which would thicken congestion and worsen pollution (even if AVs are electric).
"AV deployment is anticipated to lead to an overall increase in Vehicle Miles Traveled."

🗣️“We can blame the Israelis for committing genocide in Gaza all we want. But the fact of the matter is, we committed genocide in Gaza.” – Dr. @FerozeSidhwa , an America trauma surgeon who volunteered multiple times in Gaza over the post two years, told the California Democratic Convention Progressive Caucus on Saturday. He told the audience that what he witnessed in Gaza felt like a “prelude to the end of humanity,” and what we’re now experiencing in the United States is a “small fraction of what can happen when the end of humanity comes home.” “Acknowledging what we have done in Gaza and facing the truth will not be easy,” Dr Sidhwa stated. “Facing the truth will reveal that some of the people you thought had normal human values are actually monsters. Good. That’s exactly the point. Let’s figure out who wants to make the world a better place, and then let’s go do it.”

What’s up dude
You probably guessed where this is going: the entire "anti-woke moral panic of the last five years is an absolutely *textbook* example of how horrors happen. It was never going to stop with bathrooms or sports or HR policies.
Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.
“The National AIDS Memorial, through a partnership with the AIDS Quilt Touch team, presents all 50,000 panels of the AIDS Memorial Quilt in an interactive experience so people around the world can experience the beauty of the Quilt and witness the love and stories stitched into each panel.”
Hepatitis B can be passed from parent to baby at birth - and when that happens, the consequences can be deadly. It is unscientific and dangerous to intentionally ignore the success of U.S. vaccination programs or argue that the U.S. should not vaccinate babies for hepatitis B at birth.
The Utah Report shows exactly what the people commissioning it didn’t want to see, that gender affirming care works.

One more rant before I go walk the dogs. 🧵
There is a certain Type of Guy (person, I guess technically, but almost always a guy).
You ask this type of guy about politics & they'll tell you they're independent, an iconoclast, & that "both sides" are silly & blinkered & don't see the big picture.
READ THIS: “We found there’s this perfect one-to-one relationship. If a city increased its road capacity by 10% then driving in that city went up by 10%.” Still one of the best articles on why building bigger roads leads to more driving. Understanding #InducedDemand via @wired.com
Has anyone else had patients who are naturalized citizens get letters saying their Medicare has been terminated for erroneous reasons like being undocumented?

“Any prolonged pause in funding could disrupt H.I.V. treatment programs, leading to treatment interruptions, rise of drug-resistant H.I.V.,” said Jirair Ratevosian... “That’s playing with fire, risking progress that we’ve made over decades to control the H.I.V. epidemic.”

A graphic that promotes a new research study by NCCC partners, entitled: "A forecast of the HIV clinician workforce Need in the United States: Results of a Quantitative National Survey.

Anyone have any data on when to stop anti-seizure meds after CNS toxo induced seizures?
Patients living w/ HIV already asking what will happen if they lose access to ARVs via ADAP. Anyone know how easy it will be to zero out funding for ADAP? Is it just a budget item that could be eliminated by HHS secretary or would it need congressional action?
Just depends on who you follow. Add a law, politics or journalism starter pack and you’ll get politics. Follow the pro publica reporters if you haven’t yet.
What does it take to move 1000 people? Better infrastructure supporting mobility choices that don’t take up so much space (or produce so much emissions/pollution, cost so much public money, etc).
Great graphic via @SeattleSubway based on a City of Sydney graphic I spread around a lot years ago.
I am not familiar with the housing side of AHF but their pharmacies provide important services for HIV patients. Is the leadership the same for medical vs housing divisions?
The Economist has published a deeply-researched story about car bloat -- and it's very, very damning.
"For every life that the heaviest 1% of SUVs and trucks save, there are more than a dozen lives lost in other vehicles."
