Terra Nullis. That old chestnut. Sigh.

Counting the true toll of the Covid-19 pandemic in New Zealand As the Royal Commission of Inquiry into New Zealand's Covid-19 response continues, modelling expert Michael Plank presents a new study on the country's excess mortality rate.

10 years ago, 9 God fearing Black Americans were stolen from us while simply praying to our God. They openly welcomed a white supremacist into their church not knowing his true intentions. He sat and prayed with them. Then he viciously murdered them in cold blood.

Yes, “disaster” is the correct word – this is a public health catastrophe. The pressure for him to resign should begin tonight, and continue until it happens. Nothing else should be in front of this. Go to a 19th century cemetery anywhere in this country to know why.

Superficially it's like a complete trip. But there are so many pockets of beautiful order amongst the psychedelic chaos it reminds me of the red spot on Jupiter. Yeah I know it's about embracing the chaos to and opening your mind. I don't know how I can explain my reaction any better.

(I would appreciate it if you shared this because it feels weird to write something like this and then have no one read it)

I've seen that same behavior before. People looking, knowing but turning away due to awkwardness and discomfort. The same thing happens with the death of a child. I'm so sorry you went through this without the support that you need/needed. What a terrible loss for you.

A stark black-and-white photograph of the tall and billowing but narrow mushroom cloud from the June 1, 1952, GEORGE nuclear test rising above the Nevada Proving Ground. Silhouettes of rifle-carrying soldiers wearing helmets observing the test are visible in the foreground.

An excerpt from Richard L. Miller's 1986 book, "Under the Cloud: The Decades of Nuclear Testing": "While Taylor was waiting, he managed to locate a concave, parabolic mirror. After determining the point at which the light would converge, he attached a small wire. The next day, June 1, 1952, he would conduct an experiment of his own. At 3:50 on June 1, the troops in the trenches were told to kneel and lean against the side of the trench nearest the tower. Five minutes later, Scorpion/GEORGE ignited with a force of 15 kilotons. At the Control Point, Ted Taylor aimed his parabolic mirror at the intensely bright, fissioning mass. At the end of the wire he had attached a Pall Mall. In a second or so the concentrated, focused light from the weapon ignited the tip of the cigarette. He had just made the world's first atomic cigarette lighter. The explosion had hurled a mushroom cloud 37,308 feet into the sky and into the path of a 41-mph south wind. Fallout quickly began to fall on the northern Nevada town of Elko. The nuclear cloud then passed over northern Nevada and curved east in a tight trajectory that took it across the northern plains states before fanning out over the East Coast. On June 5, at 5:30 P.M. local time, while children in Chicago might have been reading the very first issue of "Archie's Joke Book Magazine" or perhaps the more appropriate "Atom Age Combat" detailing "The Exploits of Buck Vinson in the War of Wars," parts of Scorpion/GEORGE were drifting 35,000 feet overhead. The highest fallout from GEORGE occurred in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin, where several hundred thousand counts per minute were recorded for each square foot of land area. ..."

Today in 1952, Los Alamos theoretical physicist and nuclear weapons designer Ted Taylor used a parabolic mirror and a 15-kiloton nuclear explosion (Shot GEORGE) detonated atop a 300-foot tower in Nevada to light a Pall Mall cigarette. Taylor designed the lightweight “Scorpion” device for the test.

I was reading the other night how much Miles Davis appreciated his art and loved him as a revolutionary. Timeless classic.

Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

yes they are. and it is wrong. shit that this is happening to you.

Ok. I'm giving it a try. Prog jazz?

RFK Jr. says COVID shots no longer recommended for kids, pregnant women Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. announced that CDC recommendations for COVID vaccines will no longer include healthy pregnant women and healthy children.

"As ob-gyns who treat patients every day, we have seen firsthand how dangerous COVID infection can be during pregnancy & for newborns who depend on maternal antibodies… The science has not changed. It is very clear that COVID infection during pregnancy can be catastrophic & lead to major disability”
