You are very small & slow & I am training my cats to eat you;
Tina Belcher, but without the kind loving parents.
“I’m ok!”

Never gives up her dead.
Pushing around the weathervane Jesus.
My cats have zero chill.
“IT WAS BEANS!”

There are lots of flu shots available at my local costco - they are trying to get people to take them, there's no wait and you do not need to be a member. Go get it!

Why I keep talking about crimes against humanity

< thread >
There is no nexus to an armed conflict, so the murders are not war crimes. But the killings may yet amount to *another* atrocity crime:

As US strikes on fishing boats grow more widespread and systematic, there is a growing case these killings amount to murder, as a crime against humanity.

Not a peep from CBS News boss Bari Weiss after Trump called CBS reporter Nancy Cordes 'stupid' at a Thurs n/c. CBS mentions the incident in this piece about Trump's repeated attacks on female reporters but Bari's MIA when it comes to standing up for Cordes.

As a political scientist, I think the effects on unity are some of the biggest problems with the agreement. It legitimates "Alberta" as an aggrieved party, distinct from other provinces, while treating BC and its peoples to be as issues to be managed, rather than partners in the federation.

Yes.

Setting aside the fact we in BC actually care about climate resilience, especially given the onslaught of climate disasters here in recent years...

The Carney-Smith MOU is the opposite of nation building.

New Lancet meta-analysis finds measles vaccine immunity wanes over time, with seropositivity dropping from ~93% within 10 yrs to ~83% at 16–22 yrs.

The authors say their findings warrant an urgent review of vaccination strategies

Measles Vaccine Protection Wanes After a Decade
Individuals who receive a measles-containing vaccine maintain seropositivity for a decade; however, the vaccine’s protection declines gradually thereafter.

No deaths in a year

That's pretty incredible, given the severity of the toxic drug crisis in BC this past decade
This club sold to 47 adult members and it seemed to work. After one year of operation members reported fewer overdoses, incidents with police, hospital visits, crime. There were no deaths.
Having a dedicated source of known potency and purity seemed to help stabilize people.

“I think of VPPs… as the heat pumps of power plants… VPPs… don’t generate energy, they just harvest bits of capacity that are distributed all around the grid already.” Great audio-essay from @volts.wtf, for those who miss his writing and the way it intervenes in and reframes the wider conversation.

Explainer article coming early next week.
Been covering DULF's constitutional challenge for @thetyee.ca this week. Crown prosecutors have tried to poke lots of small holes in what founders Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalicum were doing. Nyx and Kalicum have largely defended themselves saying they were doing the best they knew how at the time.
