2. West Africa has experienced a cascade of coups in the past few years, and this latest one deepens the region’s instability.
Benin is surrounded by countries with significant jihadist presence that could seek to take advantage of this instability.

I just realised that most of my strongest memories related to Christmas are all about sickness. Mostly mine, but also my mother's, and more recently my daughter's. No wonder I don't miss all the traditions and parties that I forego now that I'm trying to stay healthy. #covid #influenza

Can confirm in my neighborhood (downwind of a plant that flares a LOT).
It's like have a regulator without the regulating part.

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

Boycott soup: PEI potatoes, prairie legumes and barley, Alberta carrots, and… whatever else I had in my cupboards. For seasoning, a bunch of stuff from Bulk Barn baggies that have long since lost their labels. 🇨🇦

With the rise in AI slop it’s already becoming harder to find good information on the internet, and the CDC used to be a trusted, reliable source.
Now it’s anti-vaccine grift.

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

If you're going to volunteer at a food bank because of the current times, please consider wearing a mask when helping distributing food. Even if they're not wearing a mask themselves, poor people have enough to deal with right now, getting an infectious disease just adds to the burden.
