The first epidemic of the 1918 flu in the United States occurred at the military’s Camp Funston, Kansas (later Fort Riley).
Infected soldiers headed to WWI battlefields carried the flu to Europe. Millions died
It’s not *vaccination* that weakens force readiness.

I just saw someone talking about a book say they disliked it so much they recycled it.
I am 💀👻😱 but also stealing that as my worst secret rating for books now 😅
I can't help anyone who is so indoctrinated that they really think the world is shitty because it has to be that way. It so clearly doesn't. We're not even talking about political activity in the world. We're talking a basic foundation to be able to say, this shit's not right, it could be better.
"The Language of Liars" releases today. All the quotes below are accurate. This is the kind of sf story the novella format works perfectly for. Read it!
A table with piles of books set out on it
Shipping signed books orders and dang but I never notice how much I've written (and there are like 8 books not represented here either) until you have it piled in front of you...
As the old saying about Sean Duffy goes, "When you're scared of transit, every solution looks like a highway."
if you like having a silly goofy time, you should try large scale industrial sabotage
Electronic sign saying detours from the river to the sea
From cooks river to botany bay Palestine will be free

something about this makes it feel more real than every other photo or video i've ever seen
Happy "it's good to resist your oppressor, actually" day to all who celebrate (we should all celebrate). May all ghetto walls and apartheid walls and prison walls fall. B"S

I love the WS Merwin poem Berryman for this. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/58530/...
I keep a copy on my wall
Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
A weighted blanket will defeat most of the robot shit i see these days. I should put that in a book lol
I actually don’t understand the expectation that I will be generous with people who are condescending to me
I am not a perpetual motion machine. I have finite energy. Why would I waste it on that
Both! But I meant the glasses 😊
I like the red!
“Feud with the Pope” is BACK as a likely Wikipedia section heading after a 400-year gap.
fwiw the obvious reflection on this reaction is that technocrats don't like when people assert control over systems (digital, admin, etc).
when technocrats make decisions about systems, that's good because it subscribes to technocratic authority; when people do it without consulting them, it's bad.
Happy birthday to the only man who has ever played Pennywise, and the only man who ever could
If you see this, quote with a pic of you in glasses
In his first appearance, Superman beat a domestic abuser so hard his sleeves disintegrated
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
One of the biggest lies in American culture is that the wealthy got wealthy by making morally good choices (ie working hard) and the poor got poor by making morally bad choices (ie being lazy and irresponsible) and that they both deserve what they got.
I don't want to shoot videos
I don't want to post tutorials
I don't want to show my process
I don't want to pour varnish
I don't want to turn my canvas
I don't want to record my screen
I don't want to cultivate parasocial relationships
I just want to make pictures and shitpost
I feel like "anti rich current reaches crescendo" is when the guillotine operators are getting OT not when you find a way to levy a new small tax on an undertaxed upper class
LA! These kitties’ human passed away, and they need a new home! Please help them find one! Spread the word!
