🧪APPROVED—The FDA has now authorized #Novavax’s new XBB-variant booster shot for use in all ages 12+. Anyone previously vaccinated with a #COVID19 vaccine (any brand) are eligible to receive one dose, and unvaccinated may receive 2 doses. #CovidIsNotOver

Tonight marks Seattle’s final 9 pm sunset of the year. The sun won’t set in the 9 o’clock hour again until next June.

And so the slow crawl toward darkness begins! 🧛‍♂️

An inhaled Covid vaccine booster was more than 5-fold effective for inducing neutralizing antibodies at 28-days, and more durable at 1-year, than shots, vs Omicron BA.5 in a randomized trial

Are homeless people flocking to CA for good drugs and lax laws? Nope. The definitive study from @ucsfbhhi, out today, found that 9 out of 10 people living on our streets are from the Golden State. And many of them are seniors that can't pay the rent. 4/4 https://t.co/nhYVmg2neb

Here are *7* cases from 2017 to 2023 in which an obscure citizen was convicted and sentenced to prison time for having classified material at home -- under the exact same Espionage Act "willful retention" provision Trump is charged under: https://t.co/UuA4a4G0nR

I'm as wary of misuse of things like ChatGPT as the next person (see: the lawyer using it to cite nonexistent cases) but I'm struck by parallels of early Wikipedia. Teachers told students "Wikipedia is not a source" but savvy students used it to find the right sources.

(Thread) In the first What If? book, I answered a question about cooking a steak by dropping it from space. At one point, I commented—jokingly!—that if anyone put a steak in a hypersonic wind tunnel to gather better data, I’d love to see the video.

Well, I have good news.

By the way, some of my loan interest rates were 7.9%! That is absurd.

10 years (and 5 months) of paying off student loans and it's now forgiven!

NEW: Clarence Thomas had a kid in private school. Harlan Crow paid the tuition.

"Harlan picked up the tab," a frmr school admin told us.

Thomas didn’t disclose it.

Saddened to hear about the passing of Rachel Marshall, a pioneer in Seattle’s food and beverage scene. My thoughts are with the Marshall family and the team at Rachel’s Ginger Beer.

Just to be clear, this is a _different_ incident where an innocent person was shot for briefly being outside a person's home THIS WEEK:

NEW BLOCKBUSTER: Private jet travel. Superyacht Island-hopping. Stays at a private resort.

For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas accepted luxury gifts from a billionaire.

Appears he broke the law.

I've seen enough: Janet Protasiewicz defeats Daniel Kelly for Wisconsin Supreme Court. The result flips ideological control of the court from conservative to liberal, a huge victory for the pro-choice side.
