tl;dr:

Shutdown and staff cuts are hindering US government response and information analysis. But flu cases in UK are 3x what they were last year, flu cases in Japan are 6x what they were last year, flu cases rising sharply in Canada.

“The annual flu shot doesn’t prevent people from getting infected with the flu. It’s mainly used to lessen the severity of the illness. […] This year’s vaccine is up to 40% effective in preventing hospitalization among adults.” Get vaccinated, try to avoid exposure.

He made a post on reddit like five years ago, doing a brain dump on various features and stuff.

They’re just waiting for a better case before overturning it.

Duffy said that ATC resignations and retirements rose from about 4-per-day before the shutdown, to about 15-20 every day now. No it’s not going to get better quickly.

A) This is someone’s blog (it even says so in the URL). It’s been in existence for just over a year, and the very first page from it on The Way Back Machine is

Zendaya’s Powerful Quotes on Feminism & Self-Confidence - You know, I really look up to strong voices like Zendaya. Her words always push me to be brave and chase my dreams, no matter how old I am.

Through Zendaya’s feminist quotes, she shows us that being confident is key.

B) The “article” posted isn’t even news. Though it has a posted-date of today, the “article” itself states

The closure comes just days after Republicans pushed through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act […] Trump is expected to sign it into law on July 4.

C) I’m not going to bother searching for it, but I strongly suspect the content of this “article” was stolen from some other website and was posted to increase the click-rate - something that you’ve encouraged by posting the article here, where it doesn’t belong: it’s well over 4 months old so it isn’t “news”, it definitely doesn’t come from a timely source, and I suspect it’s “publishing” stolen content.

Weren’t we already doing this?

Considering that Walmart is one of the largest corporations benefiting from deliberately underpaying their workers and telling them it’s the government’s job to feed them, I find that my field of fucks is barren.

I liked the bit where the cop claimed the “attack” left an onion string on his uniform.

They’ll just keep at it until it does change. Remember, everyone was frantic and upset the day after January 6 but nowadays it’s all just “peaceful tourists taking a walk”. Repeat a lie long enough and loudly enough - especially with the help of complicit propaganda engines across all types of media - and people will believe and defend that “reality”.

More like all the people there are chronically trying to manage the emotions of an enraged toddler so they don’t accidentally cause a ketchup-flinging incident, so they tell him what they think he wants to hear, only then he tantrums when reality pierces the baby carriage.

You posted this as a “You Should Know” clean your port before getting a new phone. Just because you have a need for constant charging, does not mean that wireless charging is an invalid option for the audience you’re taking to.

“You will see mass flight delays. You’ll see mass cancelations, and you may see us close certain parts of the airspace, because we just cannot manage it because we don’t have the air traffic controllers.”

Maybe y’all shouldn’t have let DOGE chainsaw the FAA, then.

I think he forgets how much New York despises him.

You could also set up wireless charging and put the phone down for a bit.

They’re talking about doing away with the filibuster, which would lower the number of votes they need.

I had heard (though I’m not sure how reliable the information was) that the landlord had been wanting to tear down the building but was running into tenant opposition. If true, this is the same as it ever was: a bunch of inhumane farms, factories and slaughterhouses would call in immigration when their undocumented workers started complaining about conditions and pay, knowing they’d never be held to account for hiring and abusing them.

People doing God’s work shouldn’t be afraid or ashamed to show their faces.

A) Qatar had been trying to offload that plane for several years, so it needs maintenance work.

B) The plane sat under foreign control for a while after the transfer was announced, so every vital part of the plane needs to be checked for potential sabotage.

C) Qatar (and possibly other countries) have undoubtedly bugged every inch of that plane, so everything needs to be gone over with a comb, to find bugs.

D) It doesn’t have enough gold.

All of which means they have to disassemble and then reassemble the plane before they allow it into service, which is going to take quite a while and a lot of money.

But it was a great deal for Qatar! They got to offload a plane they’d been trying to get rid of, they avoided the sanctions list, and they get training on US fighter jets and a base in the US.

Currently, the JYNNEOS vaccine, a two-dose vaccine approved by the Food and Drug Administration to prevent smallpox and mpox, is the only vaccine being used in the U.S. The JYNNEOS vaccine is recommended for adults at high risk for mpox, which includes people who are gay, bisexual or other men who have sex with men and have recent or upcoming risk factors like multiple sexual partners, intimate contact with someone who may have mpox, or sex at commercial venues.
