I got a reminder of a post made 5 years ago re US education.

Only thing that really changed is Twitter is dead.

Under 65 years old? No Novovax COVID vaccine for you this year.

As expected, the Republicans have enabled RFK Jr. and his coterie of antivax grifters to take away your right to make your own medical decisions in consultation with your doctor.

I have experienced multiple earthquakes, but this video of a strike slip earthquake in Myanmar on March 28 triggering a surface rupture and a large and dramatic horizontal displacement—the first ever caught on camera—is astonishing.

Keep your eyes on the right third of the screen, beyond the gate.

Breaking News!
Code Yikes!

A new daily record for Mauna Loa CO2 was set yesterday, at 431.25 ppm. The previous daily record was 431.13 ppm, set on April 27th. This marks the highest daily reading since records began being kept in March, 1958.

A few more of these may happen before the month is out.

"the commission staff made several calculation errors, ignored the payments home solar customers do make to PG&E and excluded most of the savings created by the investments these customers have made"

Consistently ignored, Solar Owners do PAY RETAIL rates for upkeep / usage of transmission lines.
California wants to kill rooftop solar — all because officials were duped by this flawed theory
Too many officials have bought a key utility company excuse for rising energy prices — solar ‘cost shift.’

House Dem Oversight story mostly a farce now. Connolly hasn't said when he'll go so Ds defer on any Qs about replacing him. Non-AOC young Dems keep campaigning (Garcia, Crockett) but the math says Lynch wins.

In meantime, the face of Dem Oversight is an old, ailing man who can't do media hits.

Ang Kaim, a historian at Academia Sinica, is listed as one of Yang's informants in the files. He told us how he was recruited - by an agent threatening him just after a prominent dissident had been interrogated and then died on a university campus - and why he complied.

Another target was Fan Yun, a current legislator who was involved in student democracy movements in the late 1980s. She found more than 1,000 pages of notes on her stretching over 9 years. Several of her fellow activists had been informants. She still doesn't know who they are.

One target who looked at their files was Yang Bi-chuan, a dissident who used to teach underground classes on Taiwan's history. He spent 7 years imprisoned on Green Island. He found that a favourite student, one who'd risen to become a prominent DPP politician, was an informant.

Oh, ouch, this is bad.

TL/DR: EU renewable heating and cooling incentives are based on the energy in, not energy out, and thus inadvertently create an efficiency *disincentive*.
🚨 New publication alert

❓What's wrong with the EU's Renewable Energy Directive?

➡️ In short: it inadvertently promotes inefficient heating.

In only a few months, we've rolled back the clock on measles eradication by more than three decades. The last time we hit this benchmark in 1990, 9 children died. It took ten more years and intensive vaccination efforts after that to declare it eliminated. That was 25 years ago.

A visual analysis shows the U.S. likely bombed a migrant detention center in Yemen on April 28. At least three U.S.-made GBU-39 bombs at the site of the attack, which killed 68 African migrants, according to the Houthis, a militant group that controls northern Yemen.

The plots of disaster movies that portray the end of civilization often begin with high-level Government Officials ignoring the warnings of Scientists.

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods…

I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

Got curious re fluoride levels in countries:

Singapore:100%; full
Ireland:73%; mandatory
US:73%; largest pop
Australia:80%; high
Malaysia:75.5%; urban
Canada:45%; varies
UK:10%; regions
NZ:60%; expanding
Taiwan:0%; none
China:0%; natural
Japan:1%; schools
Germany:0%; stopped

I'm still using it.

A "direct inverse correlation" between fluoride exposure and low IQ" means the more fluoride you get, the higher your IQ. What he's looking for is a "direct correlation," but he doesn't know what any of these words mean or how science works.
RFK Jr: "We found that there's a direct inverse correlation between fluoride exposure and low IQ in children. So the more you get, the stupider you are."
