Measles was eliminated from the United States in 2000. We recently un-eliminated it, which has now led to cancellation of some of my kids' activities. The failure to maintain measles elimination status is a national embarrassment.

Opinion: "My body, my choice" is a ridiculous slogan.
The Epstein files reveal those who earned frequent flyer Epstein miles, those who suffered Epstein wiles, those who visited Epstein's isles- in short, they reveal Epstein's viles.
Improve something today.
"Lived experience" is a confusing term for me. What does the modifier "lived" signify? Is it to differentiate from "unlived experience?" "Undead experience?" Stop erasing the zombie experience, deadophobes.
The Girl Scouts make and sell cookies but not brownies. It seems like a missed opportunity at natural brand alignment.
Today- January 27- is the anniversary of the retirement of the P-51 from active US Air Force service and the transition to an all-jet fighter force.
I'm glad there are still P-51s flying- they're beautiful planes.
Without biology, your life would be practically indescribable.
If you get snow this weekend, enjoy it! Take a good old-fashioned snow day.
Alternate history exam question #48:
Which US president set records for winning four consecutive Nobel Peace Prizes and six Olympic medals (4 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze) while in office?
Has Trump tried, "Hey, can I please borrow Greenland for a bit? I'll give it right back?"
I thought the speakers were broken but then I realized that the movie was The Mimecraft Movie.
I wonder if we could reduce our troubles by renaming ICE the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
Someone recently said something like "we've all got that pandemic mindset," the amped up & raw, exposed moods people seem to have. Maybe awareness of that & reconnecting to (& improving on) the things we did to survive that time will help us navigate and even thrive in these difficult times.
If you know what's right, do it. If you know what's wrong, don't do it.
Don't be shy about telling the truth. Don't be afraid to question what you believe to be true.
We should never take human life casually. When a government takes a life- particularly the life of one of its citizens or residents- it should be reviewed with due oversight and accountability.
How is the way you look at the world weird or different?
Yesterday marked 5 years since the violence at the Capitol. Trump's pardon of all those convicted of crimes committed that day was not just, right, or wise.
