What a hero Bill Foege was for the world For all the destruction of basic health functions this past year, Bill Foege's legacy, smallpox eradication, cannot be undone. I hope when the current darkness lifts, the CDC director has Bill’s vision and passion for health justice

I love that former NYT public editor @sulliview.bsky.social is public-editing from the outside. "With this made-up scandal, combined with the pre-election editorial, the Times looks like it’s on a crusade against Mamdani. "And no lofty explanation about the mission can disguise it."

"inline skates" - boring & stupid - driest possible description - something an accountant would do "rollerblades" - exciting - hints at violence - vaguely futuristic - something you'd use to evade the robot police in megagotham's slums
