@CoyoteProjects @MdniteLibrarian @Romy_Holland But you know that. If vaccines were super risky, there would 50 years of significant data to that effect. "The science" wouldn't be able to hide it. The countries that adopted them have seen the near eradication of these diseases

@CoyoteProjects @MdniteLibrarian @Romy_Holland MMR vaccine benefits outweigh the risk, by a wide and inarguable margin. Even steelmanning your assertions and assuming what you've said is true, that remains the case. And it is consistent to my point. Rare bad outcome doesn't mean it's sound to avoid said thing entirely.

i have an old friend who’s an ardent anti-vaxxer. she’s insistent that if her kids got measles they’d develop stronger immunity than a vaccine could confer. this is, of course, wrong. in the case of measles, the disease causes immune amnesia and actually makes you newly susceptible to diseases you’d previously developed immunity to. many deaths historically happened downstream of measles infections bc of this. i’ve told this friend this information many times. she knows i’m well versed in biology, and generally believes me to me knowledgeable. but on vaccines she responds authoritatively with nonsense info she got from some instagram conspiracy theorist. i feel pretty sad and helpless about this issue. there are only so many ways you can compel people to vaccinate their kids, and they are clearly insufficient bc measles is on the rise. i wish people were more reasonable, less easily misled.

This story describes the worst nightmare of any parent and is, if anything, far too kind to the people who deliberately put everyone around them at risk of it. Probably the gentle, blame-free approach is the more effective one but it's extraordinary that she is capable of it.

@CoyoteProjects @MdniteLibrarian @Romy_Holland You are using incredibly bad reasoning. If you are insulted by that being called out, go somewhere else. "I almost drowned as a child, the very same summer my parents taught me to swim. I'm not going to teach my kids to swim, it's too dangerous."

@Kschu11 @Romy_Holland Basic sanitation and vaccines. What did you think I was going to say vaccines never did anything?

@CoyoteProjects @MdniteLibrarian @Romy_Holland "probably works sometimes" is pretty much immediately disqualifying. It is your right to be willfully ignorant and obtuse but don't expect anyone else to be impressed by your (and your parents') second-grader logic

Well that’s just like, your opinion. In all seriousness no, that’s obviously stupid and wrong. My parents weren’t anti vaccine before that (obvious, because I got them) and that night I stopped breathing and turned blue and they rushed me to the ER where I had to be resuscitated. THEN they became anti-vax for obvious reasons. FWIW I am sympathetic to vaccines. Good idea. Probably works sometimes. BUT the fact that you cannot sue, and there are demonstrated cases of “hot batches” that cause reactions makes me not. It’s a hard decision. I don’t begrudge anyone for choosing to do it and I wish all of your children the best regardless.

@Romy_Holland Well MMR / TDAP nearly killed me as a baby so… not so safe. And you cannot ignore that immigrants are bringing diseases previously eradicated when they come from countries where the diseases are prevalent. Finally, if the vaccine works then how is my child endangering yours?

@LeahLibresco But, to your point, my experience and that of most Catholics I know, is specific to your average Midwest Catholic schools. Maybe there are schools structured differently than that and these colorado schools represent that scenario?

@LeahLibresco I suppose! In my experience (K-undergrad) there were always some small number of non-catholics in each class. Then you add in children of divorces (common) and children of divorced remarried parents (common). Drawing the line at excluding catholic kids w/gay parents seems wrong

Catholic preschools in Colorado want to be able to accept parents’ vouchers from the state AND continue to require that families who enroll promise they abide by Catholic teaching. This graf stood out to me because…

@LeahLibresco I mostly didn't hear about that being an issue when I went to Catholic schools and we would have some protestants. For me, it's not good that children of same sex parents are being affected by that in a way that children of remarried divorced parents are not. Seems incongruous

I’ve seen this play out as a Catholic/Protestant conflict at the HS level at a school that will enroll Protestant kids, but tries to give parents fair warning that: -the school teaches Catholic theology -sometimes kids convert Some parents wind up v unhappy!

@seij_tranberg @simonsarris This. My parents had something in between the first pic and the following ones. Beautiful gardens. But designed and curated a specific way so that their 4 kids could go wild playing sports/games without trashing it all or leaving 2/3 of the yard unable to be played in

Probably preference. I’d rather give my 4 young kids a yard they can rough up, and I can dispose of once they’re a little older. The picture is missing 4 kids + all neighborhood kids running, laughing, and playing around. There is a *lot* of life, and the “dead” moments are really peaceful. I see that picture and it just echos and shouts of shrieking and laughing kids. The well maintained garden stuff feels second fiddle to all that. Maybe when the kids are older and we can co-create beautiful outdoor spaces. But, even then, I’m more interested in the co-creation with the kids. Anyways, that’s probably why.

So happy for Hannah at Notre Dame. Everybody left her and dared her to do it alone and she really did…playing with walk ons, barely getting a sub some games and logging full 40 minutes some games like it was nothing. Never complained publicly , never fed into the rumors, just stayed loyal and kept working. Now Sweet 16 bound. #NCAABasketball

I swore I wasn't gonna do it, but I actually am thinking of taking the Friday drop to a newsletter. Kinda burned out on X and social media in general. But the problem is growing a newsletter without social is hard. So I know I risk just adding more work to my Friday drop, which is currently about a 20 min process for me. Maybe less. A ton of folks have asked for it in newsletter form though. I get a lot of impressions on the drops but I'd rather have 1K people who actually open the newsletter than 20K impressions. TBD. Have not decided to commit. Interested in hearing feedback.

@andesiamae Last year, of the 20 something players that transferred to the ND football program, only one wasn't a graduate transfer. I expect those relaxed rules might allow Ivey to snag more (non-grad transfer) portal players going forward

@andesiamae And this most recent football transfer portal is the first time that ND admissions relaxed standards a bit regarding how many credits can transfer, allowing players with multiple yrs of remaining eligibility to more easily transfer w/out losing a ton of credits

Agree with everything in the article except one thing. Yes roster construction is a big huge problem and Coach Ivey and staff are at fault but unlike Vandy, Duke, and Michigan ND is a hardcore religious school with hard religious classes.

Simply put, Notre Dame playing in March Madness is no longer a guarantee this season. The Irish have two problems: The first is roster construction. And the second is that the team Niele Ivey assembled is terrible on defense. usatoday.com/story/sports/n…

@mattyglesias @dilanesper Things like this are affecting teens too. This is the policy at my local movie theater. When I was under 17, my friends and I went to movies all the time. Now you need an adult with you.

@andesiamae Yeah some of the criticism Niele gets is unfair. I don't think casual fans realize how much her recruit and transfer pool is limited by academic standards

For everyone saying Niele’s rotations are messed up I don’t think you truly know what their roster looks like they only have 6 players since KK is out and sorry Niele doesn’t want to play her three almost 4 walk ons in conference play and you can blame ND admissions for why.

@asymmetricinfo @40tons70mph They were around when I learned to drive but you had to buy a whole separate gadget to have GPS. My parents had one I could borrow sometimes. But otherwise, in my teens and early 20s, I was printing out MapQuest directions. Whole different ballgame now

Tomatoes, raspberries, automobiles, televisions, cancer drugs, women’s shoes, insulin monitoring, home security monitoring, clothing for tall women (which functionally didn’t exist until about 2008), telephone service (remember when you had to PAY EXTRA to call another area code?), travel (remember MAPS?), remote work, home video … sorry, ran out of characters before I ran out of hedonic improvements.

People are chimping out at Matt over this but nobody has been able to name one thing that has significantly grown in quality in the past 10-20 years. Every commodity, even as they have become cheaper and more accessible has decreased in quality. I am begging somebody to name 1 thing that is all around a better product than its counterpart from the 90s
