This is the same woman who just claimed she got a call from a husband at 430 am whose pregnant wife “wanted to prove Tylenol didn’t cause autism” so she overdosed and was dying.

What an imagination that woman has.

Can I find Australian news discussions on Bluesky? Or discussions about climate change or environmental decisions?
All I get is cat photos and US politics.

Inhalers should be available to all who need them, for free. #MedicareForAll

Dunning-Kruger.

Our 2019-20 fires burned the whole of the East Coast of Australia from top to bottom. Billions of wild animals died and dozens of people. Hard to believe but we still have our own specially stupid cohort of climate change deniers.
I have a touch of PTSD whenever I smell smoke now.

1974’s Washington Post:

“We must do everything possible to expose the corrupt president.”

2025’s Washington Post:

“We must do everything possible to flatter the corrupt president.”

About as far as the kitchen or I collapse in a weeping uncaffeinated, migrainous heap. I need 2 coffees upon waking up or I get a horrible headache. After about 10am I switch to tea

Scientists at RAND warn that H5N1 bird flu poses increasing risks in the U.S., with human cases of unknown origin and widespread animal transmission.

They stress the urgent need for nationwide measures to prevent a potential mutation enabling human-to-human transmission.

Yeah but surely there should be Sheeple

I was really hoping we'd have a woman as president before we had one from South Africa, but here we are.

Such a disappointment Tanya. Coal mines?? Four??
What the hell???!!

Ban horse racing. So many horses put down. Or, have a 20000 bond to ensure the horse has a home afterwards, the remainder refundable 10 years after the horse leaves the track

I really liked that book and can’t remember anyone else reading it except me!

Really lovely.

Many times. Either someone has already come up with something more intelligent, or the poster is an idiot and not worth the effort of responding.

Free in Australia although it’s hard to find doctors that don’t have a co-payment. But if you’re critically ill and get treated in a public hospital, definitely free

Someone I know was part of the medical team sent to China to try to get to the source. They got pretty limited help so they couldn’t really make any definitive conclusions

Epidemiological data of an influenza A/H5N1 outbreak in elephant seals in Argentina indicates mammal-to-mammal transmission - Nature Communications Here, the authors detect clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 viruses in elephant seals associated with a mass mortality event in Argentina, show that the viruses belong to a clade primarily seen in marine mammals in ...

Not good.

"Our combined ecological & phylogenetic data support mammal-to-mammal transmission...We reflect that H5N1 viruses becoming more evolutionary flexible & adapting to mammals in new ways could have global consequences for wildlife, humans, and/or livestock."

Did you stagger sideways when it flew into you?

The copyright statement from Ephemeral City which reads in part: No part of this book may be used as data for ‘training’ any large language model or as part of any machine learning or neural network architeture. Human creaivity cannot be replicated by doing maths with stolen art. Altman, Andressen, and all their cronies can get fucked. Enquires should be made to the publisher.

Publisher: Do you want to put an LLM clause in the copyright statement?
Me: Definitely. How specific can we get?
Publisher: As specific as you like.

It’s going to be pretty terrible for Ukraine though.

Doesn’t seem to matter any more. Apparently Jesus doesn’t think it’s important

If you want to succeed you have to repot every orchid with the solemn chant of “don’t you dare f***ing die”

Prime time for cicadas: what a once-in-1,547-year bug population surge tells us about the nature of reality Three groups of cicadas have emerged together this year for the first time since the fall of the Roman Empire. The reason is pure mathematics.

Great article on why cicadas emerge in prime number years, and a great reminder of why Population and Community Ecology /statistics was hard at Uni
