I just find it funny that they think she's a crank for saying the ukraine war could have been avoided, and not for all the other reasons she's bad. Maybe Trump is picking these freaks as a negotiating tactic like you say, or maybe he's rewarding loyalty, or maybe he just wants people who are outsiders and won't challenge him. It seems like we're in for a wild ride.
“This war and suffering could have easily been avoided if [the Biden administration and] Nato had simply acknowledged Russia’s legitimate security concerns regarding Ukraine’s becoming a member of Nato,” she tweeted.
That statement was only the latest of a series of outlandish stances on foreign policy, including her scepticism about chemical weapons attacks in Syria that followed two controversial meetings with Bashar al-Assad.
"outlandish" lol.
And his name sounds fake
Yep. Can't wait for dems to thank him for his service.
He reportedly persuaded Trump to pardon three American soldiers accused or convicted of war crimes related to the shooting of non-combatants in Iraq. Hegseth, who was a platoon leader at Guantanamo Bay during his military service, defended the treatment of inmates detained there.
LMAO, wtf?

I'm guessing this guy is a demonic genocidal freak like the rest of them?
Previously it was reported that cows were barely effected, which showed the virus wasn't as deadly to other species. So unless we were being lied to about outbreaks in other parts of the country, then it seems like the virus is adapting to become more deadly among cows.
But don't worry, if it gets worse in people the government won't do anything. No masks, no lockdowns. Just capitalism. 
I've never had a job respect my scheduling limits, so I do know how people do this.
Watch Trump just expand the court.
4% is small, but it still seems like plenty to effect an election, especially in swing states where foreign policy became a top issue, because the issue is straight up genocide.
When they pre-maturely declared an end to the pandemic and rolled back social supports they screwed over millions of people. Fucking idiots.
"But we promised people a bunch of stuff. What more do people want?"

Yugoslavia had the coolest music scene, goddamn.
Have there been any serious attempts to document any of this with higher quality recordings?
It's because Covid is going away, right? Herd immunity is working?
The World Health Organization (WHO) today published a new report on tuberculosis revealing that approximately 8.2 million people were newly diagnosed with TB in 2023 – the highest number recorded since WHO began global TB monitoring in 1995. This represents a notable increase from 7.5 million reported in 2022, placing TB again as the leading infectious disease killer in 2023, surpassing COVID-19
There is plenty of evidence covid attacks the immune system, and reactivated TB is common with people who have AIDS. Could all just be a wierd coincidence and TB just does that sometimes.

It's 2024, and we get to relearn the same thing we've learned every year since the pandemic started: Covid causes brain damage!
Be aware that in most news articles about covid and brain damage, like this one, the authors usually measure the cognitive impacts in terms of IQ points, which is a bad way to measure it but it's what most people understand, I guess.
How Covid Harms the Brain
The effects of a SARS-CoV-2 infection on the brain are the focus of intense research and remain only partially understood. Studies suggest that during acute infection, the virus may damage nerves, particularly in the olfactory bulb — which houses the nerves that transmit smell impulses to the brain — leading to problems that can persist for years. In some cases, the virus may infect the brain through this pathway, altering the organ’s structure and resulting in impaired cognition and fatigue.
Persistent viral remnants or the initial infection itself may trigger neuroinflammation and disrupt the immune system, causing antibodies and T cells to mistakenly attack healthy brain cells, damage blood vessels, and harm the blood-brain barrier. Additional research points to blood clots that may drive immune activation, restricting the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the brain, and altered levels of key hormones cortisol and dopamine that may be linked to changes in gut health.
New vaccines are available, and I just got mine, but If you don't have insurance it will be expensive because our bloodthirsty capitalist oligarchs hate you. A lot of countries are just relying on constant covid infections to build up "herd immunity" which doesn't work with the common cold or flu, and those are far less infectious and don't mutate as quickly.
Lol. I'm not watching this shit. Fuck off.

At least 174,455 new cases were reported between August 19 and August 25, up from 169,217 the week before (+3%) and the highest since March 3. Those figures were collected from state health departments and, where necessary, estimated based on hospital admissions.
Actual case numbers are higher because many hospitals and states are no longer reporting detailed COVID data. Laboratory testing is also low as most people and doctors are using at-home tests which are not included in official statistics.
1,075 new COVID deaths were reported during the week, the second week in a row with more than 1,000 new deaths. It’s also the seventh week in a row with more than 500 new deaths and the 232nd week with more than 400 new deaths.
So far this year, nearly 4.8 million COVID cases have been reported across the U.S., causing at least 340,153 hospitalizations (limited data) and 37,301 deaths, according to BNO’s COVID data tracker.
We couldn't even normalize mask use while sick.
Game looks cool. Watched a couple of reviews. Now youtube is recommending me rage-baiting gaming weirdos whining about DEI and attacking a reviewer for saying it isn't diverse enough.
And then the developers have this clause reviewers have to agree to get a review copy of the game:
So chuds are championing the game now for being anti-woke?
But not all people had to agree to the clause, just some people? And it's from a marketing partner working with the developer? And the developer may or may not be run by sexist creeps according to internet rumors?
suggestive recruitment ads ran by the devs

Don't mess with colleagues
In addition to sex partners, we found that many of the previous benefits only looked good. But here, we have more thoughtful services that will make you cry, whether it is meal allowance, car allowance, unlimited taxi reimbursement, or unlimited ZESPRI kiwifruit or KIRKLAND nuts.
Forced self-pleasure
You can easily say "play your own games more" and then turn around to play five-player mid, and you may also make money. But here, we require you to experience the products you develop seriously, and there is no room for compromise.
Fat man die
Reminding employees to pay attention to their health and providing free physical examinations still cannot prevent colleagues from dying from overwork.
But here,
We can go to the gym, run or swim during working hours without anyone's approval, and all expenses are borne by the company.
Must work overtime
We have never concealed the fact that overtime is a cancer in our industry, but here,
We can sleep until we wake up naturally, have lunch and then come to work;
After the project is launched, we will have transparent project profit-sharing bonuses every month.
<-- this but unironically
I know none of this matters, and I spent way more mental energy writing this stupid post than any of this deserves. I was expecting dumb backlash to the game just because it's from China, but this is far stupider than I expected.
Fuck youtube for giving the most awful reactionary gamergate losers a career and promoting them every fucking chance they get. Whenever they attach themselves to a cultural object this bullshit starts popping up like a flea infestation.
Fucking gamers.
It’s a major wave now, with an estimated new 900,000 infections per day, as my friend Jay Weiland estimated based on the 2 sources of US wastewater data (definitely worth following him at X or Threads). The slope of rise of SARS-CoV-2 levels is still steep, so we haven’t yet reached the plateau. It’s already towered beyond 4 prior waves of the US pandemic.
State-of-the-Wave
It’s related to the variants KP.3 and KP.3.1.1, which together now account for more than half of new cases in the US. And KP.3.1.1 is on the move, overtaking KP.3 as shown by the new CDC data below. A big jump in the past 2 weeks.
Fortunately, the rise in levels of the virus, still going up in all 4 major US regions (most recent CDC data below) has not been linked with as much severe Covid (absolute increase) as was seen in prior waves, but compared to last week there was a relative increase of 25% of deaths and 12% increase in emergency room visits due to Covid. No matter how you look at it, this is not a benign wave, folks.
God's plan I guess. It's brunch time.
Of the ones I've had experience with, I would recommend all the iota-carageenan based sprays: Betadine, Luca V-defense, Flo Travel Spray. What little studies they've done have shown at least some effectiveness. It coats your nasal passage with a thin film of carageenan which is derived from seaweed and traps small particles like dust and virus. Super-snot, basically. Doesn't irritate the nose like other sprays do.
I've also seen generic saline sprays with iota-carrageenan added, which should basically do the same thing.
Covixyl has done animal studies that showed effectiveness, but it stings which some people don't like. I used this a lot unti they added an xylitol that irritated my nose and made it start running for an hour.
Xylitol based sprays supposedly work, but it bothers my nose so I can't vouch for them. The main brand is called Xclear. They are easy to find. Supposedly changes the ph of your nose to make it hostile to viruses. Didn't work for my friend who used it when their partner was sick, but that might just be a limitation of nasal sprays generally.
There's also nitric oxide sprays, but the main developer of those types of sprays (Enovid) is based in Israel and it's not authorized for distribution in the US so you have to import it.
There were also some evidence that the ingredient in neosporin can trigger an immune response and fight of viruses that way, with some people suggesting you take a q-tip and apply a little bit to the inside of your nose when going someplace high risk, like taking a flight or whatever. But that's anti-bacterial and probably not a good idea to do too often. If you are doing something particularly high risk, like a concert in a crowded bar or something, I would do the q-tip thing on top of a nasal spray.
But if you are exposed to a lot of virus in the air for a long duration, these probably won't be enough to prevent infection, but reducing the amount of virus you are exposed to is a good thing.
