@thecovidinfoguy.bsky.social any news on if there's going to be an updated covid vax for Aus anytime soon? Our local only has Pfizer JN.1 which is what we had last time and we're past due for a boost. Ta!

Research shows females carry a much higher genetic risk for major depression In a study involving about 200,000 people diagnosed with depression, scientists have identified almost twice as many genetic red flags in the DNA of females compared with males.

Good! Some research looking at females for once, instead of basing everything on males.

And guess what? There are differences - genetic differences.

With growing #AI we need a growing #UBI.. why, AI doesn’t go shopping. It doesn’t buy products that people make. It won’t buy groceries for its family won’t buy furniture or a car. Neither do unemployed.. And just how well will global economies go when consumption slows?

PET scan in 6 hours. I’ll be slightly radioactive so I’ll need to stay away from the cats.

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Kinda wild Apple will kick ICEBlock out of the App Store on safety grounds but the Saudi government app that lets men track women (their “property”) and control their travel is fully allowed even after the Human Rights Watch AND members of the Senate begged them to ban it.

Had to call a shop’s customer service line today. The woman was nice enough but kept apologising for her dog absolutely losing his shit because, in her words, “he hates when the neighbour’s dog is walked past their house.” 🤣

Three little Trumpsters all dressed in red.

Trying to get to heaven on the end of a thread.

But when the thread got broken down they all fell.

Instead of going to heaven they all went to…………….

Two panel cartoon.

First panel: A character is holding a placard 'Defund the Police'. Another character says, "Defund the police!? How is he supposed to carry all that!?!?" There is a blue uniformed police officer carrying a whole pile of rocks labelled, 'Keep the peace', 'Every unexpected crisis', 'Domestic violence', 'Theft', 'Homelessness', 'Prostitution', 'School security', 'Drug possession', 'Gang violence', 'Drug dealers'.

Second panel: The character carrying the 'Defund the Police' placard says, "He's not." and to the amazement of the other character the load of the police officer has been taken up by 'Universal health care', 'Drug treatment programs', 'Mental health services', 'Social workers', 'Education', 'Job placement', 'Affordable housing'. Two large rocks 'Sex work' and 'Pot' are being rolled up into the back of a truck labelled 'Decriminalize & regulate'.

The blue uniformed cop, looking very relieved, is left holding a rock labelled, 'Keep the peace'.

I wish I knew who to credit for this astounding image.

Sorry it took me so long to reply to this, but I needed to get back to my 'big puter'.

I find this image very helpful in explaining the very problem you are describing.

I have no idea how to attribute this wonderful work though.

Moderna says local plant will produce vaccines by end of year Michael Smith Health editor Sep 23, 2025 – 5.00am

Moderna says Australians will get the first batch of mRNA COVID vaccines from its Melbourne plant by year’s end.

The Coalition had promised it would be “up and running” in 2024, but qualification batches began then. Regulatory approvals now allow full commercial production.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.
