This is unacceptable. Young children can’t be left many months behind every time we get a new vaccine. This decreases the benefit. We need a new system @US_FDA
“FDA officials have said that authorization for a bivalent booster for children younger than 5 is several months away.”
Having a garage! Whenever I heard “so and so started their business in their parent’s garage” I thought “wow, they were rich!”
I’m not sure Child Me was wrong, though I was missing some nuance.

"They could have evacuated."
"Why didn't they evacuate?"
"That's what you get for not evacuating."
As a lifelong Florida resident who grew up low-income on Sanibel Island which has been destroyed by #Ian hear me when I say this:
Evacuating is HARD.

Since apparently people have decided to slag on Waffle House today, allow me to say a few words, as a transplant to the South, about this institution.
Waffle House goes harder than 99% of us will ever go in our lives.

All that water is going to be coming back in FAST—and with more—during the surge. Incredible destructive power.
People often focus on hurricane winds, but it’s the storm surge that kills.
Shelter-in-place at the highest possible location.

🚨 CONDITIONS CHANGE QUICKLY: This video is NOT sped up. This video from the Marco Island - SURGE (@cyclonePORT) camera shows how fast things can change in a matter of seconds. The dangers of storm surge are life-threatening. #Ian

"I declassified everything as I left" means "I knew I was taking information that was classified and didn't make an item-by-item judgment that particular information would no longer harm national security if disclosed"
That's *poison* to any 793 defense

Never forget to test your logotype designs upside down
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The unintended design choice in question caught the company RavPower by surprise in 2016. They immediately changed the logo to a capital R and future production runs no longer have the flawed logo design. It goes viral every once in a while, bringing back questions. vice.com/en/article/pgk…

So it seems like Florida gave @FoxNews an exclusive, but didn't tell anyone in Martha's Vineyard, or even tell the migrants where they were going.
This has enormously damaging implications for the migrants, who will have to leave the island for court hearings and check-ins.
NEW: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis sent two planes full of migrants who crossed the border illegally to Martha’s Vineyard today.

This. This. THIS! Read the article & the whole thread.
The snippy subhed on the 9/1 Fox article is very bad. The 2 bros “raked in $50k since December”? That’s $25K each for 8 months of work. That’s not crazy. Plus as @billybinion points out, these guys got & deserved clemency.
Thread: Conservative media continue to attack people for hiring formerly incarcerated folks.
I wrote about why this contradicts everything they say they stand for. reason.com/2022/09/14/hiring…

Don't let anyone tell you it has "exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother." This law places such specific requirements on qualifying for any of those exceptions that they may as well not exist.
Republicans want a complete ban on abortion, for all women, period.
BREAKING: The text of Graham's bill just dropped. It bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. His previous versions of the bill set the limit at 20 weeks.
