Latest England COVID-19 hospital bed occupancy up.
COVID-19 positive tests up.
COVID-19 deaths up.
COVID-19 cases up.
Data source @ukhsa.bsky.social
Why?
Limited vaccine eligibility, waning immunity, lower priority by leaders, mixing in poorly ventilated, cramped spaces. Scant use of face coverings.

Cryptic lineage update. It looks like the Coeur d’Alene cryptic is gone for now. It was a BQ.1.1, so at least a 2.5 year infection.
Did the person move away? Get better? Something worse? We’ll probably never know.

That headline is quite clear she is specifically targeting trans people in Scotland.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

It’s spooky season folks

A photo of Halloween decorations next to a gorgeous Seattle healthy street. The decorations are two tombstones and a skeleton skull with some ratty hair. Plus a skeleton without a skull on a scooter.

One of the tombstones says “Mariners playoff drought.” The other says “my parents made me brush my hair.”

This also indicates the essential dishonesty of saying “it’s just a tool.” A hammer is a tool. Nobody writes about the “inevitability” of hammers. Nobody has ever studied the harmful effects of hammers on learning and concluded that teachers must all hit their students with hammers “responsibly.”

People like to shit on tradition, but I think it's a real time-saver. I glad I don't have to figure out what I'm supposed to do about God's birthday every year. Trees and candy, done. He loves it.

We all need to understand a key facet of fascism. There is no end, but also there is no plan. Just an endless string of opportunities to exploit and suppress people when they do not stand up for themselves. Fascists are big dogs that look scary, but run scared when faced with a real fight.

Here's a little cartoon for #WorldOctopusDay 🐙

Ink and watercolor cartoon showing an octopus peeking out of a coconut shell underwater. The octopus says: "I've been working on a novel, but I'm afraid to show anyone. Maybe I'll put one page out there." A fish swims up to look at the page and says, "That stinks!" The octopus disappears inside the shell and says, "Everyone's a critic."

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

i truly believe they’ve mastered the science of rotating out their main character of the day for media cycles so nothing actually sticks to anyone. “hegseth fucked up? send homan in til it dies down. homan did a crime? send noem out this week. noem killed another dog? get hegseth back in here”, etc.

“This is a man who’s suffering dementia,” said @govpritzker.illinois.gov. “This is a man who has something stuck in his head … He doesn’t read. He doesn’t know anything that’s up to date. It’s just something in the recesses of his brain that is effectuating to have him call out these cities.”

Gov. JB Pritzker says President Trump deploying troops to Chicago due to ‘dementia’ and obsessive fixations

Democratic governor’s comments came as he continues to oppose President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago area for deportation efforts.

New day, new characters for my daily comic.

One panel comic featuring to girls and a snake. One girl stands on the head of another who is lying in an uncomfortable position. The standing girl holds a snake in her outstretched arm

Standing girl: how much longer can you hang on down there

Snake: she’s not looking so good

Woman on ground: if I understood what we were doing, I could probably hold up longer.

how many people have been wrongly accused of murder simply cuz they didn't grieve the way the cops expected?

how many of those people were in shock, alexithymic, flat affect?

how many Autistic people have been scapegoated for murders they didn't commit?

Rhetorical. It's more than we'll ever know.
