I spent today at the hospital and didn’t see a single respirator (other than my own).

There were a few people wearing surgical masks.

Signs saying it was a “mask friendly” environment.

No free masks.

No mask mandates.

Tons of coughing & sickness.

Masks belong in healthcare. Period.

Before (2011) / After (2026) Rue du Commandant Mouchotte, Paris 14. Photo 2011 by G. Vellut on Flickr. A change finished a few weeks ago. Lining up with rows of trees at an unknown focal length is tricky, here the result is not perfect, but I think the core of the before / after is there ;)

'We must become less reliant on American tools': Windows 11 is so bad the French government is switching to Linux — and Microsoft should be worried Is 2027 set to be the year of Linux? There are signs that this might actually be the case, this time.

This article is weird. France isn't switching to Linux because Windows is bad - it's switching because Microsoft is a US company, US companies fall under US law, and thus simply cannot be trusted with EU data. Windows can't "solve" this. There's no "fix" here.

Pale gray World Health Network graphic with the whn.global logo at the top. Large pink and black text reads: “COVID-19 never ‘ended’.” In the center is a simple white mask icon with pink ear loops. Below, large black text reads: “You should still be wearing a mask.” At the bottom it says: “World Health Network” and “Science for a safer, healthier world.”

COVID-19 is still spreading. Respirator masks are still one of the simplest ways to reduce risk, for you and the people around you.

Mind if we drop in? Hot air balloon with 13 aboard makes emergency landing in California backyard A balloon landed in a Southern California backyard over the weekend. A balloon with 13 people. The enormous hot air balloon descended perfectly Saturday on a narrow plot of grass at a home in Temecula.

The American Farm Bureau just surveyed 5,700+ farmers. 70% say they can’t afford fertilizer this planting season. Nitrogen is up 30%. Urea up 47%. When farmers can’t plant, food supplies shrink. When food supplies shrink, your grocery bill goes up.

I was just harshly judged by this youth!

Imagine how many teachers we could hire, how many public housing units we could build, how many bridges and roads we could fix, if we spent that kind of money on improving life for working people?"

Opinion | New Hungarian PM says government was funding CPAC but won’t anymore “I believe the state should never have financed them in the first place,” Péter Magyar said this week. “It was a crime.”

Not enough people are talking about this.

Hungary’s incoming PM has said that Viktor Orbán used Hungarian government funds to help finance CPAC, the flagship networking event for GOP candidates, members of Congress, and conservative media in this country.

Fantasy comedy; a not-isekai'd noble girl is booted out of her (crooked) family mansion when they fail to recognize the worth of her "SSS INTERNET" skill.

Her entire world is an RPG and our naif heroine has the cheat guide.
