I don't know for sure but I think I just lost a #friend over being too #forgiving in the moment.

Sorry not sorry. I don't stand for what I can't #become as such.

I do what I can to #embrace all #people who #appreciate who I am. It's all I can do, and if that #means my #contribution towards #friendships isn't meant to #last then so #be it. But if it does, they're really #rare and I #cherish them because they're very easy to #lose over #something you thought you could #understand at the time.

I'll #say this.

All #echo #chambers are the #primary #reason as to why a #friendship falls apart. Because I've seen this #effect everyone to the point of no #return possible, and honestly...you can't get along with people who spend more of their #time invested into something other than what you are doing with that person together. And I don't think I'm alone in wishing that at times, such an #investment cultivates #familiarity over #routine on a continuous basis.

But you know what? I still appreciate the chance to #care for all it is #worth as such. I do my best to live #life with no #regrets to count on #growing without me there to #manage them.

It's my own #fault for putting a bit of my #soul into everything I do alongside my #heart and #mind accordingly. And as afar as I #know there's no #changing that, at least in a very easy way.

If you ever truly #need #friends by your side, you'll know whether they're people you can #count on or not, by the way they #treat your #ambitions as an #individual person.

You can still #respect someone if they do not #acknowledge that you have any. But the chances of you becoming #close, are not as great.

With that being said, you do not need to #support the same #ambition someone else does, in order to be friends. You just need to set your #ego aside so that such a person can fulfill their #desire the best way they know how to.

That's what I do, and I carry a lot of #weight because of it. All of the #memories set aside because the soul wasn't ready to let go of the ones #entrapping their #conscious #focus throughout seemingly more #important issues outside of my #control in all of the #moments they last.

Putting my best #self forward, means respecting that and not forcing the #matter at hand. It doesn't make that #feeling go away, born of lost #opportunity at the #core of #potential #reciprocity as such.

But yes #indeed I know #hope is not so easily broken by #fragile #futility alone. Which is why I continue to #forgive but not #forget all of the ways life makes a different #path #unfold into #being by the #presence of #purpose for everyone.

An eight-minute exchange at the end of #Casey #Means’ two-hour confirmationhearing captured the potential and the predicament the MAHA movement has created for itself.
Means -- an entrepreneurial wellness influencer with a medical degree from Stanford -- appeared on Wednesday at the Senate health committee -- to be confirmed as the U.S. #surgeon #general.
She came prepared with testimony focused on the rise of chronic disease and the need for
“restoring wholeness for Americans
— physically, mentally, and societally.”
As a leader of health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s 👉 "Make America Healthy Again" movement,
she received a friendly reception for many of her positions on improving nutrition, finding the “root causes” of diseases, and fighting the sometimes harmful effects of social media on children.

But at the beginning and end of the hearing, she found herself being pressed on the issue of #vaccination by committee chair Bill Cassidy (R-La.), -- himself a physician.
Cassidy provided the pivotal vote a year ago to confirm Kennedy as health secretary,
but only after extracting various promises from Kennedy on vaccines
— many of which have been broken.
On Wednesday, Cassidy appeared determined to revisit the issue.
One of his first questions to Means was about “promotion of vaccine skepticism.”
Means repeatedly invoked "shared decision-making"
— a term that is itself contentious
— between doctors and parents,
called for more research studies about potential links between vaccine and autism
-- despite long-settled answers,
and demonstrated support for new vaccine guidelines put in place by a vaccine advisory panel remade by Kennedy to reflect his views.

Cassidy’s initial questions covered measles, flu, and whooping cough,
which is having an outbreak in his state of Louisiana.

“Children have actually died from it.
Think about it, about the age of your child dying from a vaccine-preventable disease.

And some have been scared to vaccinate their children because they’ve been told incorrectly that vaccines cause autism,” he said.

“Do you believe that vaccines, whether individually or collectively, contribute to autism?”

⚠️Means did not answer directly, but praised the administration for committing $50 millions in funding to look at environmental factors that might contribute to autism.

Cassidy wanted more on vaccines being falsely linked to autism.

“A lot of evidence is showing that they’re not implicated. Do you not accept that evidence?” he asked.

“I do accept that evidence. ⚠️I also think that science is never settled,” she replied.

Most contentious was the question of when to give hepatitis B vaccines.

Despite overwhelming evidence in favor of giving doses to newborns
(a 90% reduction in infections),
the new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance leaves that decision to parents and doctors,
-- overturning a universal recommendation to administer the vaccine at birth to prevent serious liver disease.

Other senators of both parties also took up the theme of vaccines.

Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) spoke of hepatitis B risk among Native populations in western Alaska.

“I need to try to understand your thinking on that,
given the medical consensus that this vaccine prevents this serious liver disease
and liver cancer
that we again were able to demonstrate in real time, real life,
with that recommendation
and now the view that you seem to be taking on this is not necessary for newborn,” Murkowski said.

Sen. Markwayne #Mullin (R-Okla.) lashed out against
Sen. Bernie #Sanders (I-Vt.)
over Obamacare during a Senate confirmation hearing on Tuesday
for President Trump’s surgeon general pick, #Casey #Means,
leading to a brief but tense exchange between the lawmakers.

Mullin used much of his time railing against a “broken” health care system,
which he blamed on the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA),
a law Sanders has supported, even while arguing it didn’t go far enough.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is lying about his pick for surgeon general’s qualifications.
During an appearance on Fox News Thursday night, Kennedy attempted to defend his choice of #Casey #Means,
a wellness influencer and author who has no active medical license and never completed her physician residency.
But, as is typical for the anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist, in lieu of evidence, Kennedy just made stuff up.
“She was the top of her med—the very top of her medical class at Stanford,” Kennedy said.
“She is in every—during her residency, she won every award that she could win. She walked away from traditional medicine because she was not curing patients. She couldn’t get anybody within her profession to look at the nutrition contributions to illness,” Kennedy said.
But it would’ve been impossible for Means to be at the top of her class at the Stanford School of Medicine,
because students aren’t actually ranked there.
A spokesperson from the school told CNN’s Daniel Dale that medical students are graded on a pass-fail system.
Kennedy’s claim that Means quit her residency to walk away from traditional medicine is also untrue.
Dr. Paul Flint, a former chair of otolaryngology/head and neck surgery at Oregon Health and Science University who helped oversee Means during her residency program, provided a completely different explanation for why she had walked away from her five-year residency program after four and a half years.
“She wasn’t even sure she wanted to be in medicine. She wanted to do something different. She wanted to resign,” Flint told The Los Angeles Times.
Means was under so much anxiety that she was given three months paid time off.
“She did that, came back and decided she wanted to leave the program.
She did not like that level of stress,” Flint said.
Flint said there was “a lot of anxiety around” being a surgeon. “You become much more responsible the more senior you get,” he explained.
Now, Means may become the surgeon general, the highest ranking doctor in the country.
Or in her case, the highest ranking non-practicing “doctor.”
Kennedy argued in a post on X Thursday that Means’s lack of qualifications were exactly what made her such a great fit with his Make America Healthy Again agenda.
No, seriously.
“The attacks that Casey is unqualified because she left the medical system completely miss the point of what we are trying to accomplish with MAHA.
Casey is the perfect choice for Surgeon General precisely because she left the traditional medical system
—not in spite of it,” he wrote.

#Seize the #means of #production.

Yes, I do truly believe that #process is critical. If your methods of convincing people of your progressive/liberal/anarchist/socialist/whatever position are indistinguishable from the methods MAGA trolls use to convince people of their insane positions, I want nothing to do with your movement.

Edit: No, of course I'm not going to go vote for a fascist just because your approach to #antifascism is indistinguishable from how my high school bully spreads Trumpism. But I'm sure as hell going to find someone else resisting #fascism in a way that doesn't give you any oxygen.

“Again with drugs, it is the unknown which is the horrific factor. Most people get their information on the subject from the yellowest of yellow newspapers, magazines and novels. So darkly deep is their ignorance that that do not know what the word means—like us so often, yes?”

In our second session of the day, we heard from Jørn Hafver who trained an AI in audio recognition right in front of us - so it could tell how loud we were clapping at the end. Ben Ashforth spoke about a journey he went on, inspired by a talk from the last gathering, to visit roads named after every day of the year (details at http://benguin.co.uk/roads). @alisonkiddle talked about the maths behind the games Guess Who and Which One Doesn't Belong, and has a pleasing binary chop device made from card with pins and holes. Phil Ramsen followed up on his talk from three years ago and discussed slide rules and Kolmogorov. Daniel Johnson explored the possibly surprising link between Numberblocks and Polyominoes (https://youtu.be/htnZGHjX8p4?si=YzAXxPP7lT2-_Do5&t=522)- and @Tarim said what we've all been thinking and pointed out some illogical song lyrics - lions don't really live in the mighty jungle, and Kilimanjaro is nowhere near the Serengeti! #mathsjam #maths #ai #travelling #guesswho #wwdb #sliderules #means #averaging #kolmogorov #numberblocks #polyominoes #songs #logic #lyrics

#Seizing the #means of computation implies decentralizing the means of production somehow.

And that's a tough nut to crack.
🌰

In discussing the battle against state control of computation, it's convenient but fatal to ignore the fact that chips etc. don't just grow on trees.
📱 != 🌴

Failing to remedy that means that the endgame in the war of general purpose #computation will be greatly hastened by the still-centralized means of production.

A distinction I've found useful from when I first ran across it is that between summer and winter fools. Wrote a bit about it a while back, and I just rethought and revised that piece here

Something I find kinda jarring about this here 21st century is that the average #person with an #internet connection and an ounce of #pirating know-how has access to more #movies and #tv shows than #anyone has ever had in the #history of forever and yet there are still #people trying to #argue that the #screenwriter #strike is bad #because it #means we might #experience a #temporary lack of new #television :win3_terminal:

I'm dismayed at some of the people on the #left throwing shade at #decentralization as "some #libertarian noise." Like, this is literally people #seizing the #means of mass communication, and these people are opting to side with the #profiteers because apparently it turns out the #proles are actually scary.
The ideal socialist condition would be independent communities self-governing and engaging in mutual aid. How the hell does #Twitter fit that model even *remotely* better than #Mastodon?
