My regular reminder that IF you are in your 50s or 60s you probably need a booster for measles b/c we're the generation that got just one jab, and possibly of the less-effective killed version, too. I'm of that generation & I got breakthrough measles in the 90s & it was the sickest I have EVER been

Yes, Some Adults Do Need to Be Revaccinated Against Measles A new measles outbreak โ€” along with a population improperly vaccinated in the 1960s โ€” has many Baby Boomers wondering if they need to be revaccinated.

This is a good summary

Twenty percent of ppl with measles will end up hospitalized. And we have no treatment for it.

Get vaccinated if you're able. Make sure you've got some immunity if your doctor will run your titers. If you're unsure if you were vaccinated, or have an older vaxx consider getting a booster.

Attempted suicides, fights, pain: 911 calls reveal misery at ICEโ€™s largest detention facility The calls to 911 poured in from staff at Camp East Montana, the nation's largest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility, in its first months of operation in El Paso, Texas.

Conditions at ICE's largest detention facility โ€” revealed in data from more than a hundred 911 calls, interviews and court filings โ€” offer a disturbing portrait of overcrowding, medical neglect, malnutrition and emotional distress.

We wrote this report with the OTB in mind, but it equally helps explain the Govnt's refusal to condemn the illegal US-Israel bombing of Iran.

'Irelandโ€™s economic dependency on the US ensures that the US holds a de facto veto over Irish foreign policy.'

AG finds that a requirement for surveillance cameras monitoring areas where fishing boats handle/discard fish is a proportionate restriction of rights to privacy and data protection. Interesting discussion of standard of review, privacy issues in workplace, and safeguards (especially anonymisation).

excellent deep dive into all of the ways that the Trump administration has used the federal budget to keep punishing critics and trying to bend them to his will. FWIW, this is precisely how Viktor Orban crushed the opposition in Hungary 15 years ago. The national budget is a powerful weapon.

The fact that Andrew Tate doesn't read books should make you want to read books harder.

Read more books, motherfucker. It's never been easier. Listen to audiobooks.

Calling states "red" and "blue" based on presidential results not only ignores the partisanship of other statewide votes but also ignores how lousy those descriptors are at the presidential level.
