' Nazis have laid claim to Jacksonville🚨: White supremacists have waged an intimidation campaign agst the city's minority communities.

@KimPerales interesting that the Sheriff immediately stated that the gunman has no group affiliation. How would he know that the same day as the racist terrorist shooting?

@popsci discouraging that the first statement in this Popular Science article is false. Flax seeds do NOT contain EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids, flax contains ALA medium chain omega 3. Elongation of ALA is dependent on a number of cofactors and is rate limited by conversion enzymes that also convert the omega 6’s which are far more abundant in the average modern diet.

Right now if you search for "country in Africa that starts with the letter K":

  • DuckDuckGo will link to an alphabetical list of countries in Africa which includes Kenya.

  • Google, as the first hit, links to a ChatGPT transcript where it claims that there are none, and summarizes to say the same.

This is because ChatGPT at some point ingested this popular joke:

"There are no countries in Africa that start with K."
"What about Kenya?"
"Kenya suck deez nuts?"

"Lost boys"

No. These are adult men who are making a conscious choice not only to engage in genocidal rhetoric, but to insert themselves into electoral politics to make that genocide a reality.

Stop infantilizing white men to excuse their violence.

A lot of people still think about Covid as a wash your hands and socially distance kind of thing.

Chances of getting Covid from touching something is near zero and we're far more likely to catch it from someone we can't see because it can stay in the air for a long time, drift long distances, and remain potent long after a contagious person is gone (as much as 2 hours).

This is why improving ventilation is one of the most important things you can do to reduce risks of infection for yourself and people around you. With good air flow, an infectious person is less dangerous. Infected air is diluted and can't linger to keep infecting.

I took a variety of CO2 readings to estimate indoor air quality. Based on these readings, places I wouldn't want to be unmasked would be: house gatherings, offices, meeting rooms, conventions, public transit, a plane, funerals.

Places that may not be as risky as originally believed are: supermarkets, pharmacies, and restaurants.

@sysop408 Wash your hands anyway. Wash them early and often. The flu can be spread by surface contamination, and the world has more antibiotic resistant bacteria any ever. WASH YOUR HANDS FOR REAL, AND mask plus go for as much ventilation and air filtering as possible.

BegoniaArizona,
@BegoniaArizona@montereybay.social avatar

@sysop408 I work with both babies and with the elderly. Hand washing definitely saves lives; same with those who are immune compromised. Also, good ventilation is essential for health and minimizing Covid spread, agreed. You are so right!

My musings:

A couple weeks ago I got a llama. I am very much still learning about him (llamas are SO WEIRD), but I really hope that next spring I can shear him and make something with his wool. It's so amazingly soft (and sooooo dirty, but I can probably wash it). I've never tried knitting with llama wool, or even spinning, but I truly love the idea of effectively making a sock out of grass.
