This child was infected with measles before they were able to be vaccinated (under 12 months), likely from someone unvaccinated.

They survived the infection but years later theyโ€™re dead. The risk of SSPE for an infant infected with measles is 1 in 600, & itโ€™s 95% fatal. Your vaccine protects others

Ich finde auch, dass Frauen wieder die guten alten Traditionen aufleben lassen sollten: Nicht die Beine rasieren, Deo weglassen und im Rudel jagen gehen.

Ich biete gerne allen Redaktionen ein Online-Theorie-Seminar an, wo wir klรคren was โ€žkonservativโ€œ โ€žrechtsextremโ€œ โ€žrechtspopulistischโ€œ und โ€žfaschistischโ€œ im Jahr 2025 bedeuten und wann man wie diese Begriffe korrekt einsetzt. Das ist ja nicht zum Aushalten. Es dient niemandem das synonym zu verwenden.

Sunset at, I believe, Howard Marsh. The sun has just a sliver of brilliant red/orange showing through purple clouds on the horizon.

Pic from just a moment before has more of the sun visible and its reflection stretches towards the camera in still water that has all of the colors of the horizon.

Boardwalk that extends out into the marsh is visible in this photo. Pointe Mouillee has no such boardwalk like that. The new sector of Howard Marsh does though.

I may have the wrong location on this string of posts. Iโ€™m basing that on these pics from the same day and roughly the same time which look to me like like the NW sector of Howard Marsh in Ohio. At any rate, theyโ€™re about 30 miles apart as the crow flies and are both on Lake Erie.

They Helped Rebuild After 9/11. Now They Live in Fear of Deportation. Nearly 25 years after clearing rubble at ground zero, undocumented workers could gain a pathway to citizenship with a bill from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez being reintroduced today.

Thousands of undocumented immigrant workers helped rebuild New York City in the wake of 9/11.

24 years later, they're at risk of deportation as they still struggle with chronic health issues.

A pathway to citizenship is the least these workers deserve. documentedny.com/2025/09/11/u...

Fazit der Sache Brosius-Gersdorf: Eine durch und durch bรผrgerliche Juristin, deren Ansichten sich am ehesten mit Positionen der FDP decken, wurde als Linksradikale denunziert. Diese Denunziation war nicht mehr aus der Welt zu schaffen. 1/5

More than 1 in 4 trans people live in states with 'bathroom bans' Nearly 10 years after North Carolinaโ€™s HB 2 caused nationwide boycotts, 19 states have enacted restrictions on what bathrooms transgender people can use.

19 states and counting now have some form of bathroom ban on trans people. Actual enforcement is difficult because no one actually wants to be the potty police.

His work on Samurai Champloo is unparalleled. The ending theme, Shiki no Uta is so beautifully layered and complex, without sacrifice the easy-listening feel. Itโ€™s basically music magic. youtu.be/mQAfG3DgG7M?...

Pretty sure the business school, law school, and a good portion of the Kennedy School are all conservative. But what they really mean is a center to push race science, homophobia, transphobia, etc. Might as well call it Groyper U.

I tweeted: "trump announced he'll impose a 25% tariff on japanese and south korean goods starting august 1st. could be crippling for many quality menswear stores in the US" 

Then someone replied: "Think you could convince any of them to come over here and open shop?"

I found this reply interesting ("Can those foreign companies open shop in the US?")

I don't think Japanese or South Korean menswear can be made in the US. At least, not without losing something. Let's explore why. ๐Ÿงต

I've long championed US manufacturing, esp for apparel and shoes. However, I believe this needs to come from US government support for the industry โ€” building tailoring schools, subsidizing factories, cracking down on false MiUSA labeling, etc. It can't be from tariffs.
