March 9, 1985: Georgetown's Patrick Ewing slams home the lob pass from Michael Jackson during a 92-80 win over St. John's in the Big East Tournament Championship.
Ewing had 11 PTS/7 REB in 19 minutes and Jackson scored 19 PTS for the Hoyas (25-2). Chris Mullin led St. John's (27-3) with 25 PTS.
Who knew a war in the Middle East would be complicated and present myriad unexpected challenges?
One Hoyas win last night in the first round of the Big East Tournament -- their first tourney win in quite a few years -- and my phone is blowing up with texts this morning about how fun the Big East Tournament is and how we all have to go next year. Hope springs eternal.
Let's go, Hoyas!
Someone in NYC should do interviews with middle-school kids who take the subway to and from school every day, to see if they have any advice for Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy who can't seem to go a single day without pissing himself in fear over them.
Look how many defenders Michigan had surrounding Robinson every time he touched the ball and he still went for 50

I missed that Konan v. USPS came out yesterday. This is the case where the Post Office refused to deliver mail to a Black woman. Of course Clarence Thomas, 5-4, says it's okay.
Clarence Thomas is the worst thing to happen to Black people since Roger Taney

The SAVE Act is a dangerous voter suppression law poorly cloaked in concerns about election integrity. One overlooked narrative is how this operates as a key political determinant of health bc it's harder to navigate these burdens if sick/disabled. My take:

“Pope Leo XIV has urged priests to not to use artificial intelligence to write their homilies or to seek ‘likes’ on social media platforms like TikTok.”
“‘To give a true homily is to share faith,’ and artificial intelligence ‘will never be able to share faith,’ the pope added.”

Red broken heart graphic on a navy blue background. The text overlay on the heart reads: "Having Long Covid is heartbreaking because...an hour-long bike ride wrecks me for days." Above the heart, highlighted text reads: "Tell us what it's like to live with Long Covid." In the bottom right of the graphic is a teal bubble; inside, the text reads "your experience here" with an arrow pointing to the heart.
This year for Long Covid Awareness Month, we’re highlighting the impact of Covid on the heart and cardiac system. But we know #LongCovid impacts people in so many different ways, so we want to highlight all sorts of patient experiences with an instantly recognizable graphic: a broken heart.
We’ve already received many stories highlighting how #LongCovid is heartbreaking. We’ll be sharing these experiences publicly at our Long Covid Awareness Day events on March 15.
You can participate by submitting your experience here, by March 1: covidsociety.ca/priorities/l...

About 10 years ago, I was working for a parenting magazine and I successfully made a similar argument— that platforming debunked anti-vax concerns would ignore science and harm children; and that safety ethics and accuracy trumped our duty to “tell all sides.” I’ll always be glad I spoke up.
In my medical past, a child had measles encephalitis and family refused to vaccinate other siblings. Q:when does that become abuse?
I've learned that 'nuanced' usually means 'countering facts with bs'
I’m so proud of all you responding with support for vaccines.
Many thanks for being sanity in this world and caring those around you.
💕
💯 Thank you #conviction
We have had years of convos with antivaxxers as they rant on about pharma, toxicity etc. That's one reason vaccine uptake has dropped: we've been treating this like a topic to discuss. People are sick/ dying because of antivaxxers. Chatting with them more? That's how you want us to treat killers?
After my post on vaccinating my children when they were babies, I got asked to have ‘nuanced’ convos with antivaxxers.
No.
I’m not platforming lies that led to the drop in vaccines, sick children with lifelong impacts and dead children.
Vaccines save lives and protect health.
Period.
