A family from South Carolina brought their measles infections to airports, ferries and various locations in Washington state.
The health department says that they didn’t know they had measles.
But this is why unvaccinated people are a danger to communities, not just themselves.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

Running New Bedford demos at Pax East when it came out was surreal. So many people talked about their experiences in NB, pointing out art of buildings they recognized, things like that. One couple had even been married at the church shown in the game's art! 😀
One of my most memorable conventions. 😁

I've been commissioned to write a piece about games based on real places that changed peoples' perception of that place or had some kind of local impact - are you a dev who made a game like this? Or are you a player who has a story about a game that inspired you to visit somewhere? Let me know!
