One of my favourite memories from the last Iceland trip is from the night we drove back from the puffin rock to our accommodation. As we reached the height of the mountain, suddenly we found ourselves driving above the clouds. It was magical. Iceland is magical.

7 July 1923 | Belgian Jewish woman, Rachel Romacki, was born in Etterbeek.

She was deported to Auschwitz from Kazerne Dossin in Mechelen on 31 July 1943. She did not survive.

First monarch of the summer

I've been raising the caterpillars we find in our yard, using only milkweed grown in a tiny spot, for several years now. Last year I released 18, this year I'm already ahead of that number. We also have swallowtails after the gardener added golden alexander

πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ Hey queer folx in Germany! πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ

I have a queer friend who's fleeing the US to your lovely country. She's hella cool, but she doesn't know anyone there yet πŸ‘‰πŸ‘ˆ

I told her I'd pass on the Discord info (sadly, she's not on Mastodon) of any of my community here if they wanted an introduction πŸ’ž

Did I mention she's awesome? 

Edit: she's moving to Munich, ΓΆbersendling.

Lasagna for dinner, and wife decided she didn't want carbs, so she's eaten everything except the pasta.

It lies there, bereft of life, like it's been drained by some bolognese vampire.

Nosferagu.

Despite measles being declared eliminated in the US in 2000, annual measles cases have reached a 33-year high β€” and it's only July.

This is the tragic result of the spread of anti-vax disinformation, and will only get worse in the coming years because anti-vaxxers now lead our health agencies.

If you have an Intel Raptor Lake system and you're in the northern hemisphere, chances are that your machine is crashing more often because of the summer heat. I know because I can literally see which EU countries have been affected by heat waves by looking at the locales of Firefox crash reports coming from Raptor Lake systems.
You would think that ICE showing up in combat armor with a truck mounted machine gun to "arrest" (kidnap) little old ladies and child cancer patients would finally drill it into Americans' heads that immigrants are not dangerous and the only heavily militarized, ultra-violent gang in this country are cops.
🌞 Mainiu's automatic car awnings are becoming popular in China to avoid cars becoming boiling hot when parked outside during the summer.

Measles cases surge to record high since disease was declared eliminated in the US

There have been more measles cases in the US this year than any other since the disease was declared eliminated a quarter-century ago.

@luckytran The anti-science anti-vaxxers are unconscionable.
@luckytran In Alberta Canada where anti-vax hit hard and the Premier seems to encourage it we are at ~1190 for a pop of ~4.5mil. She also likes JFKjr advice apparently.

@jeffhorton @luckytran

Same finance network, same playbook. One goal, subvert democratic norms.

@luckytran

There are no limits to human stupidity...

@luckytran When do schools restart in the US? I dread what will happen then. The holiday camps will mix up kids from various states so nicely spread the disease if they aren't there long enough to eliminate the infection in the camp, then the return to school, oh gosh looking grim, especially if any infant siblings with an outbreak of SSPE in about 7 to 12 years time.

@luckytran
A proportion of people who catch Measles die of it.

This rise in cases is driven, deliberately, by people in and out of public office.

At what point is action taken to prevent one or the group of them murdering another person?

And how furious would the parent of a dead child be if they lost their fixed belief that they had acted sensibly in avoiding immunisation?

@midgephoto @luckytran The Boomer antivax dipshits have survivor bias. The dead victims aren't around to counter the survivor's ignorant argument that measles ain't so bad.
@luckytran Republicans love measles

@luckytran

How high is pneumonia, most of the deaths come from that secondary infection.

@luckytran it will lead to increases in average IQ as the idiots die off.
Donald Trump Vows to Let Robert F. Kennedy Jr. β€˜Go Wild on Health’ If Elected

At his Madison Square Garden rally, Donald Trump all but promised that conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has pushed crank science for decades, would have a role in a prospective administration.

WIRED

@luckytran I'd say, let's treat measles in red states like republicans treated HIV in queer communities in 80's.

After all, they did everything in their power to stop innocent people from dying, right?
/s

@fionor @luckytran Honestly, that's the plan. They believe it's better to let the virus burn through the population. They are fine with increased mortality because they will ignore it. In their minds they are right and are doing the right thing. Stupid people are very dangerous
@luckytran True but this what happens when the captain of the ship refuses to engage with reality

@luckytran

Thanks Alberts!

@Ratoncita @luckytran all gratitude for the measles epidemic in Alberta should be sent to D. Smith and the UCP caucus.
