Measles Is Causing Brain Swelling in Children in South Carolina In the ongoing measles outbreak in South Carolina that has infected more than 800 people, some children have developed a rare but serious complication called encephalitis.

NEW: Children are developing encephalitis as the South Carolina measles outbreak continues. @emilymullin.bsky.social has more:

Pressure grows on ministers to end secrecy over UK medicines deal with Trump Critics say government hiding true cost of agreement ‘despite being forced to admit financial burden will grow year on year’

so hang on a minute, the UK (significantly, erm, “represented“ in negotiations by Mandelson) has just signed a trade deal with the US that gives into their demands for NHS to pay way more for medicines…. & yet Streeting won’t even tell us the barest details? 🤯

SVP Statement on Facebook Screenshot

(1) Another long 🧵 because @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social finally put out a statement on Jack Horner's association with Jeffrey Epstein and this is about the most spineless pooh poohing of a serious safety and moral issue I have read. I guess studying vertebrates does not require a backbone...

Famed Montana paleontologist Jack Horner named in Epstein files • Daily Montanan Now-retired MSU professor and renowned paleontologist Jack Horner thanked Jeffrey Epstein and “the girls” for his visit in 2012.

so all of the richest and most evil people in the world were pouring unlimited money into intentionally destroying modern society so we would have to go back to tribalism and legalize child brides or whatever, and then it didn't even work because most people genuinely like being nice

I can't speak to whether it is actually bortac and whether it is actually mortar launchers but I mentioned in my piece yesterday that I had witnessed tear gas being launched in the air in an arc over people's heads. This video I found on IG shows what I described

a photograph of an asiatic black bear with unusual colouration; her nose is pink and her fur is mostly golden brown, save for a dark brown ruff around her neck that resembles a lion's mane

another photo of the same unusual bear

ok nerds i've been unable to find an answer to this: what kind of mutation has caused this gorgeous asiatic black bear to look like a chonky lion

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

no, brandy was found in the wild as a cub after presumably being abandoned by her mother

She also spread doubt about the believability that the project 2025 document had any legs, and hinted that it might be a distraction.

I read that whole document before Trump got back into power. It was absolutely NOT a distraction.

Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA.

Facts that bear repeating.

you know, laying off staff in the middle of a war zone while enduring a ukraine winter without power makes laying off ppl during the holidays look downright humanitarian.

billionaires shouldn’t exist.

A drawing of a creature known as a hoori-doori-din-rin. It is a bipedal creature with no proper forelimbs and a round head with giant, orange eyes. The left image presents a bald version of the creature. Its skin is off-white and pinkish and there is a set of eight tiny, featherless wing-like limbs. The middle image presents one of these creatures with all of its plumage. The topmost layer is covered in very dark purple, black and blue feathers. A drawing to the right of this middle image presents the under-plumage which is very colourful and heavily patterned. The right image presents one of these creatures dancing with all of its feathers erect and all the colours visible. The creature also has a blue tongue and the bulbs to either side of its face are inflated to make the display even more elaborate. There is also a small sketch of the creature's head in the bottom right corner.

Introducing the Hoori-Doori-Din-Rin!

Much like the chuckme and the chidderin, they are named after the unusual call they make. They are arguably the court jesters of the world of magical creatures with their painfully unserious behaviour and absurd albeit elaborate dances.

Has anyone compiled a good, well-cited one stop website with a detailed list of why genAI sucks? I would love something that I could share that simultaneously speaks to the points about stolen art/writing, habitat loss, resource waste, funding/economic issues, misinformation/propaganda, etc.

that's normal

Bring back Link if you're serious, otherwise cut it with the jokesy shit

Zack Polanski's ( @zackpolanski.bsky.social ) strongly worded open letter to Wes Streeting, rightly urging him to rip up the Palantir contract in light of the Mandelson Epstein revelations
