Look at the nasal mist vaccines for your kid. Slightly less protection, but no needle. And you can get them by mail order and administer at home so that you don't need to organize an outing around the vaccine

The problem is that it's 90% stories that don't really lend themselves to partisan outcomes. Their fascism comes out only once in a while, when Sulzberger thinks it's important.

Modern influenza originated in Kansas, and was spread significantly by US troop deployments in WWI. It also killed tens of thousands of US soliders

Rural smoke doesn't stay confined to rural areas. It's worth getting rid of the pollution from burning fossil fuels; it just won't be enough to solve seasonal smoke in India

UI design sharply increases the probability of behaving in this way; it takes a real fundamental rethink of the UI in order to change that. For what it's worth, commercial platforms are increasingly pushing people away from providing a link, either by banning links like Instagram, or by having a feed ranking algorithm which discourages their inclusion (X, Facebook, others)

I don't blame individual choices for something that's largely a result of platform design.

The problem is that a huge chunk of the online audience only ever sees the headline. Click-through rates hover around 2% and of those who vote or comment, only about one in four has clicked the link.

It's not a crazy concern, but definitely should be expressed more clearly.

There is a reason I quoted the key paragraphs in the post.

That kind of wild unreliability drives people to home solar, batteries, and electric vehicles

The reality of a first-past-the-post system is that it is far easier to co-opt an existing party than to launch a new one. The latter approach usually means handing power to the people you dislike the most
