Jason CartyEvangelina by Hoyt Axton was a song I put on one of my playlists in 2023 - it reminded me of a certain type of song that Terry Wogan would play on Radio 2. Anyways, good old Bob Stanley has made a compilation of such tunes, and it opens with Evangelina.

datum (n=1)Why is wearing an N95 so effective, and wearing a blue surgical mask not very effective? Physics!
There’s a significant difference between a mask and a respirator. A surgical mask is just fancy fabric that catches, well, spit. An N95 has an electrostatic charge that grabs particles and holds them. Think about rubbing a balloon on your head and watching your hair stick to it. That’s the science working to keep viruses out of your lungs when you breathe, instead of letting them waltz right in.

AI6YR BenHmm, just for fun, let's look up the cleanup procedures for norovirus. (No norovirus here, but seeing a friend here whose family has come down with it). Interestingly enough, hand sanitizer doesn't work with norovirus. Looks like soap and water ALSO don't work very well. (requires bleach). ALSO (not on this handout), heating food may not necessarily remove noro. AND, it floats through the air. 🤢

❞ Most people understand “violence” as something that happens between two people or groups of people as a result of sudden or extreme behaviour. Yet often, the most extreme forms of violence occur as a result of mundane decisions made by governments or institutions over a long period of time.
…
It can be through deliberately harming a group or, as highlighted in the Grenfell report, by ignoring or overlooking information that could prevent harm.
…
Describing these institutions as having “failed” misrepresents the reality of why Grenfell happened. Deregulation, cost-cutting and outsourcing were not “failures” of government, but flagship policies of austerity that were carefully planned and coordinated. ❝

Bread and CircusesI can't understand why there is any question about this.
OF COURSE ecocide should be a crime.
If murdering the ecosystem that keeps everyone alive is not a criminal activity, then what is?
