COVlD cases need to fall "well below 10,000" per day for the country to achieve some semblance of pre-pandemic life.

COVlD: Week of Apr 20, 2026 (PMC, US)
Levels are at their lowest in nearly 3 years, but unfortunately with a high baseline of >200,000 estimated new daily infections.
Very High = WV (1 site only)
Moderate = MS (limited data) & Guam
All others low/very low

And, the “just happen to both be American” isnt exactly the result of a random process. I doubt it was a highly valued reason to vote for him, but the college of cardinals *did* knowingly select an American as pope after Trump was elected a second time, with a catholic Veep. So far Im glad they did!
Terrible. Consent is sexy. This is gross, weak, evil, wrong wrong wrong.
I’m looking for an automated way to read others’s scientific data without giving credit or acknowledgement, and also claim full credit for insights from it. And I want it to have a fitting name
OAI: say no more
Please be motivated enough by anti-fascists commitments you hold yourself to do your own research.
This is the platform the good Rabbi uses: ghost.org I’m sure it’s not the only option out there.
Are you suggesting that all bars are infiltrated by Nazis? And that your response is “well, guess we have to hang out at a Nazi bar” instead of “hey let’s maybe build some bars that exclude Nazis?”
Also, Ghost. And probably like a lot of places you might just not know about yet.
principla skinner thinking "am i out of touch? no it's the pope who is wrong"
WaPo editorial board looks at share of income taxes paid, relative to share of income made.
This is a very, very bad way to assess a tax system's fairness.
1) It excludes half the tax code, which dramatically changes the picture
2) Worse, share doesn't tell you actual impact on finances

Posts from Mark Chadbourn about how Hungary's Magyar is warning all of Orban's puppets to resign before they can be fired, announced that Hungary will join the European Prosecution office to anyone in the country can be charged, and saying "No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions"
Democrats: this is the energy that will be required when we run Republicans out of power.
Lord, I have seen the techno raves you have thrown for others.
I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses
Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.
he should drop out and resign, this is completely unacceptable and far too common
Side note: This website is also how I came to learn that there is a 24/7 live feed from an International Space Station camera looking down at the earth set to chill music.
When there is a loss of signal, they just play previously recorded epic footage of earth. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO9e...

Honestly your baby’s social media silence about the conflicts in the Middle East and in Ukraine is pretty problematic tbh.
Boston Globe mock front page from April 9, 2016. Date says April 9, 2017, with giant headline “DEPORTATIONS TO BEGIN” and “Markets sink as trade war looms.”
Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?

86% of NYC-DSA members have now voted to re-endorse AOC.
The smart, pragmatic, relentless left who want to win, govern, and build a future are the majority. The insular left who only want to critique power, police other leftists, and avoid being cringe are the small minority.
I’m with you, it’s sheer absurdity.
Only takes five words to render a textbook definition of genocide. This is unconscionable, even as a bluff or bluster. May we USians find a way to stop him.
Graph of year-over-year transmission
Current transmission is shown on the red line (lower left).
Notice that we're running just below the median (gray line) for this time of year. A good bet is that transmission will pick up around July 4 (visible in the July 10 or 17 data). We will warn if earlier.
