My cousins got to town at a reasonable hour (usually it’s like midnight) and decided they wanted to take the local fam to dinner, which to be clear was both lovely and thoughtful, but has completely discombobulated my evening plans and I managed to let my aloo matar paneer leak on my blanket.

I’ve talked before about how AI represents the inevitable outcome of techbros’ lack of distress tolerance for the messy business of relating to and interacting with other human beings
but I think the logical outcome of having that skill issue humored is becoming unable to relate to yourself, either

there's "lazy" and there's "not wanting to exist as a person in any meaningful sense" and a lot of sloppers are careening towards the latter category, if not already in it

The US cattle herd gets larger & smaller on a pretty predictable 10-15 year cycle.
When there are more cows, that pushes cattle prices down.
When there are fewer cows, that pushes cattle prices up.
The laws of cattle supply & demand are simple & finite, any 4H girl would have known

Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

Periodic reminder: the vaccine efficacy of the pertussis vaccine drops below 50% at 4.5 years. You should be getting a Tdap booster every 5 years, not every 10. It is especially vital if you have contact with pregnant people or infants too young to be vaccinated.
After two infants died, the Louisiana Dept of Health under the leadership of the new incoming deputy director of the CDC, delayed notifying the public for months of a whooping cough outbreak. Instead, he ordered DOH to stop promoting vaccines. Pertussis is currently a national health crisis.
Louisiana officials waited months to warn public of whooping cough outbreak
After a whooping cough outbreak killed two infants, Louisiana health officials waited months to officially alert physicians or do public outreach. That's not the typical public health response.

Guys I feel like you need to actually understand the UK’s libel laws to comment on this. They’re not like the US ones! The UK does not have the same concept of free speech as the US does and that matters a lot here!
Note that the BBC openly admits in an email to me that the removal of this claim about Trump's world-historical corruption was done "on legal advice."
Translation: Trump's threat of a lawsuit, no matter how bogus, has now been rewarded.

National parks have SO MANY people from other countries (since they get real vacations!)
And they spend a lot of money on hotels, food, souvenirs, etc.
This is unbelievably dumb, it will destroy entire tourist towns
