"Out of the 30 states where measles has been detected in 2026, Florida currently ranks third in case counts. Since the start of the year, at least 132 confirmed or probable cases of measles have been reported across the state, where vaccination rates have consistently fallen below the threshold required to prevent outbreaks."

Paul Krugman:

"trump’s attack on Iran has made a strong new case for renewable energy.

There is another reason for nations to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels: security. In a dangerous world, it’s infinitely safer to rely on the sun and the wind than to depend on fossil fuels that must be transported long distances, from nations that are untrustworthy, often exploitative and located in regions that frequently devolve into war zones."

Welp, the thing happened to me today.
AI took my job.

I learn hard things fast and explain them clearly.

Do you or someone you know need that skill?

So, humanity's epitaph may be:

"We died in a nuclear holocaust rather than arrest a paedophile ring"

😳

I’m getting reports that hundreds of people are at the vigil outside the ICE Field Office in central #Phoenix.

If you can get there, get there.

Oh you hate socialism?

The US spends about $106b/yr out of its $10.3t/yr budget on food stamps. That's about 1% of the yearly budget.

Let's put that in perspective. If you make $50,000/yr salary, about $80 of your taxes goes toward food stamps, and about $4,000 of it goes toward corporate subsidies (defense contracts, billionaire tax breaks, farms, distributors, oil and gas, etc).

If you're mad about the 80 bucks instead of the $4,000 dollars, you don't hate socialism, you hate poor people.
