Tweet from Pete Hegseth: "The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately."

In World War I more U.S. soldiers died of influenza than from combat. In America's first 145 years of war more soldiers and sailors died from infectious diseases than from enemy action. In every single war in human history more combatants have died of illness and disease than bullets and the blade.

“We have a population that has learned — correctly — that pharmaceutical companies have lied, that institutions have failed them…But the response has not been better skepticism. It has been the migration of trust from one set of financially motivated actors to another.” Great point here

Meta and YouTube found negligent in landmark social media addiction case It’s the first of several bellwether cases to test such claims.

Wow - huge win across the board for plaintiff Kaley G.M. in the landmark social media addiction case against Meta and YouTube. On the heels of Meta's loss in New Mexico just the day before. www.theverge.com/policy/90065...

Sparkling water helps keep minds sharp during long esports sessions A University of Tsukuba research team has found that drinking unsweetened, highly carbonated (sparkling) water during a three-hour esports session can help players maintain mental focus with less fati...

Funny article and kind of surprising (even that the authors hypothesized it). Go sparkling water. medicalxpress.com/news/2026-02...

Not a gamer myself, but if my kid is to believed, most of her time playing a game is just being away from the keyboard. Sure sounds like fun to me.

One of my pastimes is looking at Facebook marketplace at all the used drum kids and how ridiculously weird they are setup. These people do not play.

You’re better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.

I suspect the folks at FarmArt didn't think about how their logo would look with the van doors open.

'Positive day' for Canadian agriculture: Sask. welcomes new canola deal with China | CBC News Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal government has reached a 'landmark' trade deal with China. On Friday morning, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe praised the deal.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... “In return, Canada will allow up to 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles into the Canadian market each year, at a 6.1 per cent tariff.” The current tariff in Canada on Chinese electric cars is 100%. There might be some cheap electric cars here soon.

Every time I hear the Mission Impossible theme song, I think, can you believe they asked Limp Bizkit to record this theme for the second movie?

I have several of these built. But you shouldn’t have to essentially write code to toggle a light switch.

A little ridiculous that HomeKit doesn’t support toggling lights on and off with a single button so you have to write silly little shortcuts

Yeah science for all the science, in both development and in assessing safety. Need math to make sense of the noise and anecdotes.

LeBron James put up eight points in the Lakers 123-120 win over the Raptors.

It's the first time since 2007 he hasn't reached 10 points in a regular season game.

as I said on the Playback, that was the ultimate LeBron play, really. Individual streak on the line and still made the right pass

Kinda sad to see it end.

For the first time in a regular season game since Jan. 5, 2007 -- a span of 1297 games -- LeBron James has scored in single digits.

He passes out of the paint to Hachimura for a buzzer-beating 3 to win, losing the streak in the process.

If I could remove any social media post that’s older than one day that contains the word “breaking”, I would definitely do so.

I’m pretty sure 1980’s era King Crimson is too weird for my dog. She keeps giving me weird looks.

One of my hobbies is looking at used drum kits on Facebook marketplace to see just how ridiculously they are set up. No person is possibly shaped to fit on some of them.

At least it’s also rendered its search function useless

Don’t they already get paid like $5000 a pitch?

This is getting to be a problem.
