And we’re not yet over the PTSD from COVID-19 As if America needed another reason not to hand the White House again to Donald “88 Counts” Trump. Do we really want Dr. Bleach-and-Light Enemas recommending quack remedies and maskless Everydays should we face another deadly pandemic? NPR: Officially, there is only one documented case of bird flu spilling over from cows into humans during the current U.S. outbreak. But epidemiologist Gregory Gray suspects the true number is higher, based on what he heard from veterinarians, farm owners and the workers themselves as the virus hit their herds in his state. “We know that some of the workers sought medical care for influenza-like illness and conjunctivitis at the same time the H5N1 was ravaging the dairy farms,” says Gray, an infectious disease epidemiologist at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. “I don’t have a way to measure that, but it seems biologically quite plausible that they too, are suffering from the virus,” he says. Dr. Irwin Redlener (remember him from 2020?) is concerned: NBC News: The U.S.

Mayor Eric Adams credits her with spying on anti-genocide student protesters and directing the militarized raid that dislodged them from campus.

Helicopters have been throbbing overhead for days now. Nights, too. Police are swarming the streets of Broadway, many in riot gear. Police vans, some as big as a city bus, are lined up along side streets and Broadway. Outside the gates of the Columbia University campus, a penned-in group of pro-Israel demonstrators has faced off against a penned-in group of anti-genocide and pro-Palestinian protesters. These groups are usually small, often vastly outnumbered by the police around them, but they are loud and they are not Columbia students.

Green Wing: Resuscitated is the six-part Audible return of the classic British sitcom - 20 years later and with the original cast all back!
Antifa-da is comin’ ta git ya At Dartmouth College Wednesday night, students holding a peaceful pro-Palestine protest on the college green were quickly met with …. well, let Prof. Jeff Sharlett (“The Undertow“) tell it: It wasn’t as dramatic as the police breach of Columbia University carried live from New York. Meanwhile, Brown University administrators reached a negotiated settlement with student protesters: Northwestern did as well. Which do you think will get more press? Which do you think will fuel the right-wing culture war? Okay, likely all of it.
