Yeah but being an asshole to people about it isn't exactly praxis either

Edit: Not trying to say you're the one doing that, sorry if it came off like that

Retail jobs are literally horrifying.

The same goes for anybody who has dealt with understaffing, constantly moving goalposts, and/or a hectic work environment, but when you add the general public on top of that it's so much worse.

I almost feel like I need to CW this for myself, fuck capitalism.

Nearly three-quarters of Gen Z men report feeling regularly stressed by an uncertain future, stirring painful memories of the Great Recession they witnessed as children.

Anybody who remembers and was not pushed left by the bailouts and Occupy Wall Street is a bozo

Of a platoon of 30 soldiers called for their 11th deployment in Gaza, only 6 showed up.

Holy shit are they deploying once a month? Two weeks on two weeks off?

I would think "deployment", in this context, would be referring to the current conflict but I could be wrong.

I would assume they have to be

This election season has been absolute kino honestly

A big character from the last 8 seasons has had to step away due to health issues, and they were able to swap him out for a new redesigned character with all the same plot lines while keeping the same villain. Amazing writing.

I watched a 30 min video of this whole thing and it was way cringier than just a picture can communicate

It's got racism, misogny, classism, all in one.

This is cinema

This is from 2005

China claims to be well on the way towards vaccinating every domestic bird in the country against avian flu. The bold scheme — which would mean inoculating some 14 billion birds — was announced on 15 November and comes in response to outbreaks that animal-health officials say are dangerously widespread. On 16 November, China confirmed its first two human cases of bird flu, one of which was fatal.

A new strain developed in 2013 and was essentially eradicated by developing a new vaccine for the birds.

Why aren't we doing so in the US??? We have an effective vaccine!

However, despite seemingly having an effective vaccine in hand, as of late April, the USDA is still not pursuing bird flu vaccination as a disease control strategy. “While USDA is exploring the possibility of developing a poultry H5N1 vaccine to stock and use in an emergency, we are not moving forward with a HPAI vaccination program at this time,”

The biggest sticking point is around trade. The US exported more than $5 billion in poultry meat and products on average every year for the past three years. The USDA enters into trade agreements with each individual country it trades with, explained Upali Galketi Aratchilage, a senior economist at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Each agreement outlines specific biosafety and production requirements that both countries agree to follow. The USDA said, in an email to Vox, that many of those agreements do not allow bird flu vaccination.

Every single bird that is infected gives the virus another million chances to mutate into something 100x worse than COVID. And we are not doing it because of the fucking cost to GDP.

 

Saw this today at my local library, they were having a fun little propaganda session. Wish there was a way to stop this shit.

I was able to pickup the sixth Wheel of Time book, which I guess was nice.

 
 

What a time to be alive

Kadyrov claimed Thursday that the vehicle, which he said had been outfitted with a machine gun and was “performing well in combat,” had been shut down, adding Friday that he had sent two additional Tesla Cybertrucks to the frontline.
