What’s sad is those most likely to be exposed to H5N1 by exposure to sick cattle and poultry, are also in the agricultural red counties where vaccine hesitancy is most common.

Good point.

This article is possibly an example of the results of income inequality, and how corporate ownership of rental property effectively extracts wealth out of the community, without re-investing back into the community.

The bananas were all addressed to Don Jr.

It was not just the vehicle registration.

(Gao) only produced an identification card from Massachusetts

I’m assuming that was a government issue Mass. ID card, not a Mass. drivers license.

Was driving without a valid drivers license justification for shooting at her after she sped away?

Seems harsh.

Destroy the bombers before they can escape to used against Ukraine, or any one else!

Any bets as to where Assad fled to?

Russia seems most likely, since his family fled there.

When they say he is still in the capitol, that means he’s left the capitol.

Russia puppets allies struggling.

Armenia abandoned.

Georgia in turmoil.

Assad in Syria collapsing.

Belarus and Hungary next please.

“Assad regime bolstered by arms from Russia”

A lot of Russian military were in Syria propping up Assad too.

A good time for the rebels to attack as a lot of the Russians have probably gone home to fight the Ukrainians.

1. Mastodon’s recommendation algorithm isn’t sufficiently addicting

Also trying out Bluesky, and it is a lot like Twitter used to be, but it has the potential to turn out like Xitter is today, because at the end of the day Bluesky is a for-profit startup corporation.

Sooner or later, Bluesky is going to want to make money for its shareholders, and that means any of: 1) Selling advertisements, 2) Selling your personal data, and/or 3) In a classic tech startup play, selling itself to the highest bidder like: Android, YouTube, and yes, Twitter.

And with commercialization, or in Xitter’s case a fool with too much money, comes enshittification.

Lemmy is nothing like a for-profit startup company, as far as I know, but that doesn’t make it enshittification-proof, but at least it won’t take the commercialization route.

It gets worse:

The IDF is killing mostly Palestinian women and children, about 70% according the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, OHCHR.

Exactly the type of humans you need to rebuild a population.

Hmm, what could the IDF’s objective be…

It’s been a few years. Best throw it out.

On the other hand, Dr. Drew is looking pumped and has been hawking the V-Shred weight loss system recently.

Boooooo!

Also, as someone who grew up watching the A’s, fuck you John Fisher.

I’m sure the LNG will make its way to China and India eventually.

Maybe via North Korea through a pipeline that goes directly to the Chinese border and absolutely nowhere near any North Korean cities.

Who believes that authoritarian regimes care about inclusivity?

What Jeri announcement?

But don’t take LeVar’s word for it!

At least run for city council, or even school board first…
