The risk for babies who get measles under the age of 6 months to develop this within 10 years is 1 in 600.
NEW: Even the strongest anti-abortion advocates don't want to punish people for pregnancy loss. Police and prosecutors are finding ways to do it anyway.
Here's what happens when miscarriage is recast as murder:
To give you a sense of how big a deal this is: Summers’ PhD advisor made NBER what it is today
Years ago, via a painting by her great-grandfather, @mollycrabapple.bsky.social got fascinated by the Jewish Bund, a secular, anti-zionist socialist movement. We are all very lucky she did. Her book "Here Where We Live Is Our Country" comes out on 4/7. Preorder here: bookshop.org/p/books/here...
For @religiondispatches.org I wrote abt Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance and the rituals he enacted. Caribbean spirituality is imbued w everyday moments of sacredness that form a link between us and our chosen divinities. religiondispatches.org/2026/03/09/b...
A picture of Marco Rubio shoes that are too large for him
I’m a grown man who works for the president of the United States who is afraid to not wear the shoes he bought me that do not fit
It turns out the maga men were the cucks all along!
I'm sorry wut
The data economy has made us dumber in ways that also make us vulnerable to authoritarian takover. We are have become both cynical and gullible in the sense we think we are too jaded be fooled and as a result are tricked more easily www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
"Bisignano said that his agency has improved performance despite the cuts, pointing to data the agency has not yet made public to note callers are waiting less than 10 minutes to get through."
That's because the robot hangs up on you when you try to get to a human!
I have so much quad envy rn holy shit that's amazing
He made the Coolio "Nanny" episode a sweater!

Queens U. of Charlotte (where my wife got her master's and still does some work) just made March Madness so I looked up their basketball coach (Grant Leonard) and this was the first image:
The March 15, 2025, killing of Ruben Ray Martinez drew almost no public attention.
But Martinez is now the first known American citizen shot to death by federal immigration agents during President Trump’s second term. https://wapo.st/4lbpGYC
You don't have to do *everything* but all of us can do *something*
I have little patience for learned helplessness and absolution-seeking. Our founding document opens with "We The People."
Either we, the collective citizenry, have power or we don't. This ain't Schrodinger's democracy.
We have power. It's incumbent upon us all to seize it.
Many hands=light work!
This International Women's Day, please remember that trans women are women. Full stop. No qualifiers.
Happy International Women's Day darling Sheryl 💗
Lol you pay taxes, don't you?
Offffffff course. Of course.
The Instagram girls have already clocked her tea and gone to her reposts to show her laughing at videos mocking people killed by ICE
If she don't wanna face responsibility for her dumbass decisions she can stay home lmao
This woman is the citizen of a democracy that is responsible for an inordinate degree of misery, destruction, and death in the world.
That means she, like every American citizen, owns a bit of this fuckery. That's how democracy works: power comes with responsibility.
It's a reasonable question!
This repeats yet another pattern from the Iraq War. When the Iraqis did not behave as the Americans wanted — without the deference and gratitude that a foreign military occupier felt it was due — they became targets.
They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175
Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

Pauly Walnuts very seriously telling someone that “it’s called Broad daylight because women light up the world”
international women’s day
I would very much appreciate a second season of Renegade Nell, for instance!
Certainly it would be better spent than raining down poisonous hell on Iranian civilians
