A lot of people are, very reasonably, thinking of acquiring/learning about guns right now. Without trying to discourage that, please consider asking yourself some of these questions first:

Do I have and know how to use naloxone? A tourniquet? A chest seal? Do I know how and when to use an EpiPen?

It’s usually a tropical virus, but there are now infected mosquitoes spreading in New York. (NYT)

Dr. Damien P. Williams Wants A Better Sociotechnical Paradigm @wolvendamien.bsky.social · 3d

The villains in The Addams Family movies aren’t “Normal” people. They’re disingenuous ppl [hiding] the truth of themselves. …that that kind of behaviour gets equated w/ “normalcy” is [part] of the commentary. Tully AND Debbie would’ve been welcome, if they’d just been honest with & About themselves.

Back on tumblr I wrote a whole thing about both Tully and Debbie would've been welcomed into the family if they'd only be truly, honestly, and completely themselves.

That reminds me, a couple years ago I saw a Guardian article about how gambling ruined this man's life and he eventually unalived himself. The article was soon deleted.

Americans gambled $150 Billion on online Sportbooks last year. Far too many almost lost everything.

For some young men, sports betting is a near-fatal gamble.

“producers asked if he’d like to do a “thumbs-up, thumbs-down” segment. Prompts included “Thumbs-up or thumbs-down: Hamas” and “Thumbs-up or thumbs-down: a Palestinian state,””

In one breath, Zohran Mamdani says he plans to ban carriage horses from Central Park.

In another, he says he’ll form a panel to study the industry before coming to a decision.

It's true: one of my worst memories is of a friend and I nearly being attacked by a gang of raccoons in college. If they can terrorize the suburbs of Chicago, lord knows what wrath they'll unleash on the mean streets of Portland.
