My kid needed emergency medical treatment and I’m reminded again how incredible doctors and nurses are. I’m so grateful.

There's a new measles outbreak in Delaware after a decade with no cases. In times of high transmission, outbreaks become more likely - and with falling vaccination rates across the country, these sparks are falling on increasingly dry timber. My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
US officials focus on identification and rapid action as measles cases rise
Authorities in Delaware tackle cluster with vaccination and contract tracing – but field has been weakened by cuts

BREAKING: Google has rolled back its tool less than a day after it launched. Updated story coming soon.
Wild to create an AI tool that will so obviously be used to create disinfo and then to put the responsibility on a user to investigate — using more Google tools of course — whether the content was made with your AI tool!
Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 5d agoGoogle's statement that it includes a watermark that can identify them as AI-generated is completely braindead as to how disinformation works. You think people spending literally three seconds to derail a discussion give a shit about that? This is so easy to abuse www.404media.co/google-earth...
New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

Dave Jorgenson@davejorgenson.bsky.social · 7d agoRepublicans and Dr. Fauci still disagree on covid origins.
I’ve hung out with a lot of MAHA and MAGA folks — at rallies and conferences and online — and they consider RFK Jr.’s misleading and turgidly footnoted book the way smart people do The Power Broker. It’s weird.

NEW: I dug into the court documents in the case of Andrea Shaw, the Idaho mother charged with killing her toddlers. Shaw insists they died following a set of vaccinations. I looked at how the anti-vaccine movement insinuated itself into this case and her life. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
She's charged with killing her twins. The anti-vaccine movement made her a martyr.
Andrea Shaw is charged with suffocating her toddlers. Children's Health Defense says it was the vaccines.

There’s a new secret political influence campaign paying people to post: a network targeting people in Michigan. For MS NOW, I wrote about how paid posts from people posing as Michigan moms struggling to afford groceries and gas are flooding the Senate primary, without labels and without disclosing the funders.

Sometimes out of no where I'll think about how No One Is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood is the perfect book.

Shocking find in the newspaper archives. People die suddenly all the time.
Weird thing covering people on the internet is how many lives the weirdos on my beat have. In maybe the strangest yet, the flu shot cheerleader, an anti-vaccine poster girl from a million years ago is now a "citizen journalist" on the Mitch McConnell beat and I just saw her on TYT and Alex Jones.
