In his annual press talk, Putin made clear that he expected to prevail in Ukraine not through military force on the ground, but through influence operations carried out in the US, Europe and the UK which will install Kremlin-loyal and Kremlin-financed parties in control:
Vladimir Putin predicts European ‘swine’ backing Ukraine will lose power
Russian president vows to liberate ‘historic lands’ in hardline speech, showing no signs of compromise on invasion goals

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

It's like on the eve of WWII we decided to stop funding R&D into weapons systems to develop advanced aircraft, ships, and tanks. Climate change is going to kick our butts if we lose NCAR (and NOAA) at a time when climate change is increasing extreme weather events capable of crashing the economy.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

Love this, but the unspoken stress is the deliberate & enforced artificial economic/opportunity scarcity that everyone born into, or falls into, poverty faces every day.
This is a well-deserved band-aid by lottery, but it's a gesture, not govt policy.
It obviously changed this lady's life, though.

The measles virus first infects the macrophages in the alveoli, the wee airsacks in your lungs, then those 'Infected macrophages travel to lymph tissue, where the virus comes in contact with the memory cells of the immune system (memory T-cells and B-cells).'
If you wanna learn more about immune amnesia this is a good primer from the American Society for Microbiology.
Measles binds to your immune system’s memory cells and infects them, effectively erasing their database. It then produces all new memory cells - that contain info ONLY for measles.

Measles is much more serious than a rash and fever: it also causes immune amnesia and leaves patients especially vulnerable to secondary infection.
