the normalization of gun violence in the US is crazy. 14 year olds with AR-15s shooting up their schools. Presidential candidates dodging bullets every few weeks.

And it’s all so dang normal now that they will barely last a news cycle.

Meanwhile this is a headline on Newsweek today:

Egypt Has Violated Its Peace Treaty With Israel. It Must Face Consequences

The propaganda machine in the west is completely insane.

Hey Mrs Harris the earth is dying and 99% of people under the age of like 30 will starve to death at some point in their life if we don't stop hitting the accelerator on climate change, but sure, keep fracking for oil.

I do running in the morning and resistance training at night. Around 4 days a week have both, most days in the month have one of them going on.

Add in some daily walking and something exotic like gymnastics.

And yes you get fucking gorgeous fast doing this stuff once you get used to the kinda insane load.

Iowa governor signs bill to loosen child labor laws

Under the newly signed law, 14- and 15-year-olds are allowed to work two additional hours per day when school is in session, from four to six hours. They are also able to work until 9 p.m. during most of the year and until 11 p.m. from June 1 to Labor Day, two hours later than previously allowed. Sixteen- and 17-year-olds are now permitted to work the same hours as an adult. The law also allows teens as young as 16 to serve alcohol in restaurants during the hours food is being served.

Among the expanded employment opportunities outlined under the new law, 14- and 15-year-olds would be able to do certain types of work in industrial laundry services and in freezers and meat coolers – areas that were previously prohibited.

This is going to slowly spread everywhere because the west is hoarding vaccines and won't create a vaccination effort in Africa / DRC. It has already become more virulent with this new clade and will in all likelihood take another step function up in contagiousness based on how it's spreading in DRC alone. Once it becomes slightly more infectious (like improved spreading via surfaces), all bets are off on not closing at least some schools in the US - good luck getting elementary kids to not touch each other and trusting parents to take time off in this shitty forced-work economy to have the kids sick at home.
