Today is World AIDS Day.
“An awareness day is not a strategy” is the US government's rationale for not publicly acknowledging World AIDS Day for the first time since the inaugural WAD in 1988.

Once again, Rasmussen’s wit shines.
What does manipulating VAERS data have in common with allegations of extramarital tail-chasing?
The quality of evidence that 10 kids died from COVID vaccines with VAERS data or that CBER Steve Urkel is trolling for side pieces on the apps is equivalent.

The music is interesting. I love that they are not capitulating. In fact, I’d say they are setting a great example.

I love my cheap diy Sensirion CO2 sensors but IKEA’s new ones sound phenomenal. The ALPSTUGA is supposed to have PM 2.5, CO2 and be able to eventually control HEPA for $25. I wonder if the communication will be arduino compatible and if you can calibrate them. www.wired.com/story/ikeas-...
IKEA’s Smart Home Reset Goes Back to Basics
Ikea’s new 21-product series of bulbs, sensors, and remotes is dirt cheap, idiot-proof, Matter-ready, and designed to work with everything. But it’s still years from the promised house of the future.

Category 5 storms have been increasing globally beginning in 1982, when satellite data accurate enough to identify these great storms first became available. Ratings are from NHC and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Five Cat 5s so far this year, which is near the average of 5.3 Cat 5s/year.

That shitty fighter jet video would be a good defense for anyone the fbi accuses of threatening Trump’s life in a social media post. Trump has the ability to order the military to literally dump brown substances on humans protesting. That act would likely result in deaths.
