I suppose this is why we don't shore up levees until they breach; and let one house burn until the ones next to it catch fire.

U.S. will soon have millions of doses of H5 vaccine But CDC's Nirav Shah told reporters they aren't recommending shots for farm workers because: - "mild symptoms that have been noted thus far" - absence of mutations raising "risk to human health" tinalexander.github.io/notes/2024/0...

on the flaming lips yoshimi tour, wayne ends the night with a giant balloon that says "fuck yeah [city name]" and for us in KC it ruled. in Cedar Rapids the "yeah" popped immediately so it just said "FUCK CEDAR RAPIDS" and our designer said it got even bigger cheers because "it does suck here"

🙃☠️ when you finally get over your phone anxiety to call a new place and they immediately put you on hold. 😖

If you get covid, test every day after you test negative to catch the rebound. I was neg for days then got a whisper of a pos line. I started avoiding people, and in 18 hours I got sick and turned big positive. Everyone I know who got this variant has rebounded from 3 to 11 days afterwards.

"And yet we are two days into Trump’s nomination party, and no one has asked — much less answered — whether Donald Trump is a business partner, paid foreign agent, or merely an employee of Saudi Arabia."

Sarah Huckabee Sanders told the convention God intervened to save Trump from an assassin. I guess God just didn't care for that guy who was killed.

If Tulsi had even basic knowledge of WW2 history, she’d know that most of the people who tried to assassinate Hitler were other Nazi officers angling to seize power or terrified that Hitler was going to get them all killed.

Wheelchair users are not exclusively paralyzed. There isn’t reliable data for it, but many, many of us are ambulatory (can walk sometimes, either for short periods or on good days). When you accuse someone of faking because you saw a leg move, you’re not taking into account a variety of conditions.

okay it's time for a prompt post: respond to this post with a correction to a common misconception about something you know a lot about. if you feel like it, boost your response. (please use a kindly tone about it, otherwise i, your prompt curator, will get anxious.)

Tried to get a picture of how weird the post-storm sunset light is; my camera couldn’t catch it, but i opened the door to a visitor walking up my driveway. She didn’t see me until i said “well hi, friend,” then startled and reversed course. I did go manage to catch the double rainbow, though.

The tl;dr This is union-busting, written as a statute. A company union is not a union, it is a way for management to dilute/interfere with the power of the union. Company unions have been unlawful since 1935, because everyone recognizes it is an attempt to union bust. This is trying to undo that.

Not a populist: GOP VP candidate J.D. Vance introduced the Team Act (with Marco Rubio) to empower companies to establish and dissolve “employee involvement organizations” (a.k.a., company unions), a long-standing goal of GOP business leaders: www.rubio.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

If our power companies were Public utilities, I bet the number of people who would volunteer to let the government install solar panels on their roof would represent a truly enormous generation capacity. I would do it, even if the only benefit was that I support my Public Power system
