Adam is irreplaceable, of course, but I can share a few things that turn up in my aggregation sweeps…
and, like, i've mostly given up on the prospects for any kind of meaningful gun regulation, because i know a lot of gun owners who are, i think, otherwise good people and who i think are unlikely to ever give them up. this is the price of that.

I wish I didn’t agree with this. Yes, I’m going to keep trying to change peoples’ minds, because we have to keep trying, but…

Drip, drip, drip…
… The U.S. Food and Drug Administration set June 14-15 as the new meeting date to review Moderna Inc’s emergency authorization request for its COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 6 months to 5 years and Pfizer Inc’s vaccine for those aged 6 months through 4 years…
White House COVID-19 response coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha said on Sunday he expects a U.S. Food and Drug Administration decision on authorizing Moderna’s vaccine for children under age five within the next few weeks.
Moderna completed its application and FDA experts are looking closely at the data, Jha said on ABC…
Drugmakers Pfizer Inc and BioNTech SE said on Monday that three doses of their COVID-19 vaccine generated a strong immune response in children under age 5 and was safe and well-tolerated in their clinical trial. https://t.co/2GKUv0oiFf

I doubt I’m going to be able to understand much of Ludicrous, but I may have to read it anyways. From a longer thread:
Journalists are like investors, but instead of money they bet their time and effort. What I saw at the battery swap station was so at odds with the image of Tesla in 2015, I knew there was a good chance investing in scrutiny of Tesla would pay off. It did. https://t.co/Cun6267Vup

A little hopeful nostalgia, for us Boomer nerds…

Next day:
"No, I don't think so," Biden says at press conference in Tokyo when asked if monkey pox may cause a pandemic like coronavirus. "I just don't think it rises to a level of kind of concern that existed with Covid 19."

EVERYBODY CALM DOWN (for the moment). The status quo hasn’t, as far as I can tell, changed much since my last post: Monkeypox is a known viral infection, for which we have a workable (smallpox) vaccine, that has now been diagnosed in approximately a hundred persons (almost entirely — so far — men who have sex with men) in countries (Europe, America, Canada, Israel, Australia) where it’s a novelty, at a time when doctors are a little gun-shy about ‘novel’ diseases. Here’s the best short summary I’ve seen so far:
Folks, I’m excited to tell you that the first flight from Operation Fly Formula is loaded up with more than 70,000 pounds of infant formula and about to land in Indiana.
