So someone with measles can spread it before they have symptoms, it can float in the air for hours and years later, they can develop new health complications?

I still remember how I was willing to show up to see events with friends, but insisted on doing so while wearing an N95. That's how I found out how many people would rather not invite me at all than deal with being seen in public with someone masked in their party.

Thank you for your videos Paco. I know they are helping remind my teenager to keep masking. Do what you can when you can, just know we appreciate you 🙏🏽

Organizers Celebrate Palantir Headquarters’ Move From Denver After Protests Meanwhile, Miami immigrant communities organize their own pushback as the company relocates its headquarters to Florida.

Colorado organizers celebrated a “victory,” after Palantir Technologies, the company long criticized for its work with ICE and the military, announced that it moved its corporate headquarters from Denver to Miami. The relocation followed more than a year of protests at Palantir’s local offices.

There you go. An overt technofascist Trump ally will now own CBS, CNN, HBO, Paramount, Warner Brothers, Discovery, and a big chunk of TikTok

To the point that those of us who point out that the vaccines are not sterilizing and don't stop transmission are now being called anti-vaxxers. Don't wear a mask. Don't wear condoms or practice safe sex, either. Smoke a pack of cigarettes every day. Precautions are for losers.

You won! You got what you wanted! Nobody has to mask anywhere, even in medical facilities around the most vulnerable patients. Moreover, nobody even feels obligated to, because we don’t owe anything to each other. You got everything you wanted, so just leave us alone and let us mask in peace.

If that was true, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be hearing about it from some random mustachioed man on the internet..

The only friends I still have from the Before Times are the ones I never got to hang out with due to distance anyway. (Online friends rule!)

Israel warns of a Ramadan escalation — while doing everything to provoke one Eroding the status quo at Al-Aqsa, backing settler pogroms, ignoring violent crime: If there is an eruption, it will have been engineered by Israel alone.

"The real threat is not Ramadan, but the murderous incitement of this government and its attempt to tarnish a holy month."

"The push toward a violent eruption this month is coming from Israel alone."

It’s been said for years that covid must flip an ”If I’m going down, I’m taking everyone else down with me” switch in the brain or genes or something in a lot of people. Some shit is definitely going on here.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

His name was Nurul Amin Shah Alam.
