Jaw-Dropping News
At exactly 11:39 EDT this morning came the breaking news that caused my jaw to drop:
Tucker Carlson Leaves Fox News
The company gave no reason, only this brief statement:
“FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.”
I expected some heads to roll in the wake of the $787.5 million settlement agreed on between Fox and Dominion Voting Systems last week, but last I heard it would likely be Jeanine Pirro and Maria Bartiromo, not their top draw. Thus far there is no word whether he was terminated or left of his own volition, but I suspect the former, for as journalist Brian Stelter noted …
“The biggest ‘tell’ in Fox’s press release about Tucker Carlson’s exit is that he is not getting a final show. No…

DeSantis, GOP lawmakers bill hurt FL’s immigrant communities | Miami Herald
Before the abhorrent “Florida blueprint” DeSantis is peddling nationwide — autocracy, anti-gay, anti-Black and anti-women’s rights, anti-immigrant measures — we were heralded as America’s model city of the future. Now, GOP state lawmakers stand in solidarity with inconceivable intrusion in our communities by a governor with runaway ambition. Simply put, both versions of the same proposal, House Bill 1617 and Senate Bill 1718, are a slap to the face of our immigrant families — and native-born Americans who have welcomed immigrants into their lives, whether through friendship or marriage. Families of mixed immigration status, people who straddle two worlds, are a Florida trademark.

MIT-developed printer brings on-demand vaccine production a step closer – UPI.com
“We could someday have on-demand vaccine production,” said lead author Ana Jaklenec, a research scientist at MIT’s Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research.
“If, for example, there was an Ebola outbreak in a particular region, one could ship a few of these printers there and vaccinate the people in that location,” said Jaklenec, who noted the team had demonstrated the technique’s efficacy with COVID-19 RNA vaccines in mice.
To test the printed vaccine, two sets of mice were given two doses of COVID-19 vaccine four weeks apart, one via a traditional intramuscular injection and the other via printed skin patch. Mice that received the microneedle patch had a strong antibody response similar to mice given the traditional injected vaccine.
The researchers plan to adapt the process for non-RNA vaccines, including those made from proteins or inactivated viruses.
Jaklenic said that the ink composition was key in stabilizing mRNA vaccines, but the ink could contain various types of vaccines or even drugs, allowing for flexibility and modularity in what could be delivered via the microneedle platform.
“This work is particularly exciting as it realizes the ability to produce vaccines on demand,” said Joseph DeSimone, a professor of translational medicine and chemical engineering at Stanford University.
“With the possibility of scaling up vaccine manufacturing and improved stability at higher temperatures, mobile vaccine printers can facilitate widespread access to RNA vaccines,” said DeSimone, who was not involved in the MIT study.
