So much for President Pritzker. Singularly disqualifying. We don't need another President who ignores the First Amendment. We already have one, and it's terrible. So much for your reputation as being a constitutionalist, @govpritzker.illinois.gov. This law you championed violates it.

The Illinois State House just passed HB 5511, a bill that will require EVERY WEBSITE and EVERY APP to implement an age verification check. @govpritzker.illinois.gov has pushed this hard and it’s Meta’s preferred solution to avoid liability. Votes here. CALL YOUR REPS! www.ilga.gov/Documents/le...

MAHA fight, MAHA fight...
Screen grab of Tweet on X by RFK Jr. saying the following (while also posting a screengrab of Trump announcing Erica Schwartz as CDC Director. 

"Thank you, President Trump, for nominating Dr. Erica Schwartz to serve as CDC Director. I congratulate Dr. Schwartz and the new CDC leadership team. I look forward to working together to restore trust, accountability, and scientific integrity at the @CDCgov so we can return it to its core mission and Make America Healthy Again."
Screen grab of most of antivax attorney Aaron Siri's tweet on X upset that Trump picked Schwartz to head CDC... what gets cut-off in the image are some of the references Siri includes to try to substantiate his arguments...

"Trump's pick to head the CDC, Erica Schwartz, would likely be a disaster.  

Schwartz led nationwide Covid-19 vaccine deployment and her long track record of directly issuing rights-crushing civilian and military vaccine mandates, including mandating injection of smallpox, anthrax, and flu vaccines into U.S. Forces, and discipling those that refused, reflects she lacks the basic ethics and morals to lead the CDC. 

This agency does not need another cheerleader for industry; it needs a regulator over industry. 

Her prior promotion, let alone mandates, of nearly a dozen different vaccines leave little hope she will objectively oversee CDC’s vaccine program which has, between 1986 and the 2026, gone from 3 injections to 29 injections, including in utero, by an infant’s first birthday, while chronic childhood disease has gone from under 10% to over 40% of children, most related to immune system dysregulation.

HHS just published an update to its Scientific Integrity Policy. Notably, it has removed the concept of political interference, and no longer calls it out as something specifically to be prevented. www.hhs.gov/sites/defaul... (deletions in red, insertions in green)
Highlighted in red: "Political interference is inappropriately shaping or interfering in the conduct, management, communication, or use of science for political advantage or such that it undermines impartiality, nonpartisanship, or professional judgement"
"HHS works to promote a culture of scientific integrity by creating an empowering environment for innovation and protecting scientists and the process of science from inappropriate interference. Scientific findings and products must not be suppressed, delayed, or altered for political purposes and must not be subjected to political interference or inappropriate influence. The responsible and ethical conduct of research and other scientific activities requires an environment that is safe and free from harassment and discrimination" Highlighted in red are "suppressed, delayed, or altered for political purposes", "subjected to political interference", and "inappropriate influence."
"HHS works to promote a culture of scientific integrity by creating an empowering environment for innovation and protecting scientists and the process of science from inappropriate interference. Scientific findings and products must not be subjected to interference or inappropriate influence and must not be inappropriately suppressed, delayed, or altered. The responsible and ethical conduct of research and other scientific activities requires an environment that is safe and free from harassment and discrimination." Highlighted in green are "subjected to interference or inappropriate influence" and "inappropriately suppressed, delayed, or altered."
Text, with "political" highlighted in red to indicate removal:

I. Protecting Scientific Processes
Scientific integrity fosters "honest scientific investigation, open discussion, refined understanding, and a firm commitment to evidence" (OSTP 2010). It also enables consideration and documentation of differing scientific opinions. Practices that support scientific integrity may include peer review and open science.
Science, and public trust in science, thrives in an environment that prevents political interference and inappropriate influence from impacting scientific data and analyses and their use in decision making.
It is the policy of HHS to:
1. Prohibit political interference or other inappropriate influence in the design, proposal, conduct, review, management, evaluation, communication about, and use of scientific activities and scientific information.
Prohibit inappropriate restrictions on resources and capacity that limit and reduce the availability of science and scientific products (e.g., manuscripts for scientific journals, presentations for workshops, conferences, and symposia) outside of normal budgetary or priority-setting processes or without scientific, legal, or security justification.
3. Require that leadership and management ensure that covered individuals engaged in scientific activities can conduct their work objectively, free from political interference or other inappropriate influence, and free from retaliation.

“Even more troublingly, other researchers say, the (two) fake preprints were then cited in peer-reviewed literature…suggesting that some researchers are relying on AI-generated references without reading the underlying papers.”

A researcher invented a disease called “bixonimania” and wrote clearly bogus articles on Medium and arXiv about it, referencing Starfleet Academy, Sideshow Bob, and the Fellowship of the Ring. Within months, major AI apps were diagnosing users with bixonimania. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Bixonimania doesn’t exist except in a clutch of obviously bogus academic papers. So why did AI chatbots warn people about this fictional illness?

you meet a couple people who swear by Dr. ChatGPT, and then you read this bmjopen.bmj.com/content/1….
This study identifies deficiencies in how generative
AI-driven chatbots respond to everyday health and
medical queries in misinformation-prone fields. Approximately half of all outputs were deemed problematic,
citations were frequently incomplete or fabricated, and
chatbot response readability tended to be complex.
Models also responded to adversarial queries without
adequate caveats and with rare refusals to answer. As the
use of AI chatbots continues to expand, our data highlight a need for public education, professional training
and regulatory oversight to ensure that generative AI
supports, rather than erodes, public health.

In another massive data set of more than 1.5 million children ‌born between 1997 and 2022, the use of Tylenol during pregnancy was NOT associated with autism, even after accounting for ​individual risk factors. Autism was diagnosed in 1.8% of children exposed to Tylenol and 3% of the unexposed group.

Fact Sheet-California Farmworker Earnings after Overtime Protections California farmworkers' average annual earnings have increased since the state's adoption of overtime protections in 2019.-
A UC Merced Community and Labor Center analysis of 2017-2022 IUMS-American Community Survey data finds that California farmworkers' average annual wage and salary earnings steadily increased from 2017 to 2022, while average hours worked per week have decreased.

In 2017, California farmworkers earned an average of $18,827 per year, and in 2018 that figure was $19,964 (see Figure 1). Following the passage of California farmworker overtime protections in 2019, average earnings increased to $21,863. By 2022, that figure had increased to $24,871 (see Figure 1).
At the same time, the average number of hours worked among farmworkers has steadily decreased. In 2017, California farmworkers worked an average of 42.7 hours per week (see Figure 2). In 2019, that figure remained virtually unchanged, at 42.3 hours per week (see Figure 2).

RFK Jr. has been told to STFU about vaccines, but the public needs to know that he continues his agenda to dismantle US vaccine policy through his surrogates. His attorney and buddy, Aaron Siri, wants to further undermine vaccine recommendations from the CDC. One of his targets is HPV vaccines.

Surf Social: The whole ‘social media is dying’ argument received another fillip in the UK recently with data from our media regulator (lol, some fcuking regulator – LITTLE BIT OF POLITICS THERE) Ofcom releasing its annual insight into How People In The UK Consume Media which showed that the proportion of people posting on social media has fallen year on year – except, if you actually look at the numbers, it’s not that people are using the platforms less, it’s more that the platforms themselves have shifted to become lean-back places of passive video consumption. Anyway, should you be one of the many people who would like a better way to passively consume content from across the internet (SIT BACK, OPEN WIDE, ENJOY THE GUNK) you may well be interested in Surf Social, a new platform which effectively does the whole ‘pull in feeds from all sorts of places into one viewing window to consolidate your content consumption experience’ thing. It’s a *little* clunky, to my mind, but that might just be that I am old and have literally no desire to ever learn another platform-based UI ever again in my life; the deal is that you can create a variety of different custom feeds within the app, pulling from different sources and platforms – so for example you could set up sports feeds that pull from all the various accounts that journalists and publications have on Reddit, Bluesky and the like (yes, it’s all fediverse stuff, which is inherently a touch limiting but hey ho) – or you can follow existing bundled feeds…you get the idea, this isn’t technically anything that you haven’t seen before but, if you can be bothered doing the setup (which is always the hassle with these things tbh) then it’s potentially a useful way of keeping across a whole bunch of sources in one place – but it does require said sources to be active across the non-mainstream platform ecosystem, which does rather limit its utility imho.
