From @ylepidemiologist.bsky.social: “If you’re under 65 and not high risk, the window to get a Covid-19 vaccine is right now—before the FDA label changes (possibly this Friday). Once it happens, access will be limited immediately.”

The lower the pressure in the center, the harder it draws in air around it, and the faster that air swirls around the eye, strengthening the hurricane.

Tennessee Puts Voting Rights at the Whims of State Officials The state made an infamously difficult process of restoring voting rights for people leaving prison even harder, now requiring that they plead for approval from a governor or judge.

In 2023, Tennessee added new steps for residents who lost their voting rights and wanted to regain them. The steps cost money.

A resident of Nashville would have to pay $159.50 to petition a judge to regain their rights.

Introducing animals can be a challenging and unpredictable process because just like people they all have their own distinct personalities and likes and dislikes. Wallace just got here a few weeks ago but fortunately has already incorporated so peacefully with our other highlands Babs and Savannah!

Pressure mounting on Poilievre to fire campaign manager: sources | CBC News Pressure is mounting on Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to fire Jenni Byrne, his national campaign manager, whom critics hold responsible for the party’s election defeat last month, sources told ...

If the Canadian conservative party want to win future elections, they must fire PP himself.
He has decent support within the party, but non-conservatives detest him and will never vote for him. Many people voted against the conservatives because of him. People I know.

We're back to the same basic question we have to ask about all contracts with the US. How do we trust anything Americans promise? The answer of course is, we can't.
This is a dumb dumb dumb idea. SDI 2.

Dumb conservative MPS didn't fire him when they got the chance. They'll regret that.
There were as many voters deliberately voting against PP personally as there were in favor of the liberals.

No thanks.

Your so-called great ideas put you back in the opposition.

This is a great project.

Support your local shelter if you're able to. I donate hats and baby/kids blankets whenever I can.
