The entire shit show in LA has Stephen Miller's grubby fingerprints all over it. And it's important to remember that Stephen Miller is, first and foremost, a fucking idiot.

i grew up in CA. people on the east coast need to understand that it takes about Twenty Hours to drive 101 to visit family in los angeles from 2 hours north of the oregon/cali border. in ikea-esque format: 800 miles long x 250 miles wide on average except the butt. 350 respectively cali's got cake

My hunch is that, as we saw with Lafayette Park, National Guard troops are not going to be as compliant as this administration thinks. It’s one thing to unleash cops consumed by warrior cop culture on neighborhoods. Quite another to send reservists who are also accountants, barbers, and teachers.

i've never even lived where hurricanes are normal. and i've known there's a season in which they are common since i was five.

amazing how much lighter i feel post op. not in bodily weight. but in the weight of potential dread removed.

a post by jarod k. anderson, the cryptonatrualist podcast a twilight sky with an evergreen tree in silouette overlaid by white text that reads: Kindness. Gentleness. Empathy. These things are fires shining in the forest night. They must be tended, but in tending them, we are illuminated. We become a target for things that thrive in darkness. So, as ever, love is tied to risk. And, as ever, it's worth the danger.

You would think some educators who constantly swing and miss at forecasts during bigger events in the Pacific NW would worry more about their own poor/mediocre forecasts vs anyone else's.

its my current fave game at the mo, the last time i played this consistently on anything Was acnh haha

PROTIP: if you suspect there are concealed Amazon devices in a space, clearly enunciate “Alexa, fart.”

One of the most beautiful moments you can have in a smart home is saying that and listening to every connected device erupt in flatulence.

C.D.C. Posts, Then Deletes, Data on Bird Flu Spread Between Cats and People The data, which appeared fleetingly online on Wednesday, confirmed transmission in two households. Scientists called on the agency to release the full report.

Wow. So not only were several bird flu studies left out of today’s CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, some data on bird flu briefly appeared in the online report and then was quickly removed.

good thread is good.

@ iamragesparkle: i was a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an afterwork beer. One of those shitholes whre the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and i were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out." and the dude next to me says, "hey i'm not doing anything i'm a paying customer." and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or somethign and says, "out. now." and dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, i noticed Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, "you didn't see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them." And i was like, ohok and he continues. "you have to nip it in the bud immediately. these guys come in and its always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too. And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And its too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down. And i was like, 'oh damn.' and he said "yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible awful people." And then he went back to ignoring me. But i haven't forgotten that at all.

i was one of the 3% of kids who got the jabs and got measels anyway, and thus Relied on herd immunity. still got it a few times, still relying on the herd to do the bare minimum to avoid getting it in my 40s

This year’s flu shot will be missing a strain of influenza it’s protected against for more than a decade. That’s because there have been no confirmed flu cases caused by the Influenza B/Yamagata lineage since spring 2020. And the Food and Drug Administration decided this year that the strain now poses little to no threat to human health. Scientists have concluded that widespread physical distancing and masking practiced during the early days of COVID-19 appear to have pushed B/Yamagata into oblivion. This surprised many who study influenza, as it would be the first documented instance of a virus going extinct due to changes in human behavior, said Dr. Rebecca Wurtz, an infectious disease physician and epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health.

Universal masking and social distancing at the start of the pandemic were so effective that they eliminated a strain of flu, and now annual flu vaccines have been redesigned because that strain no longer needs to be included in the shot. Amazing.

I'm having a bad day. Come say nice things to me.

Tell him Reading is reading. Pictures are brilliant. The important thing is reading books you love and finding more books you love. Other people don’t get to judge what you love. Read the stuff they want you to read and read what you want to read too.

The most consistent ethical position is to always speak out against mass death.
