This is all hands on deck! Pneumatic plague is airborne and nearly always fatal if untreated. Wiped out 150 million, half of Europe, way back when. Treatable with antibiotics, but we don't have enough antibiotics. Also from a lab in Russia, where they still have weaponized plague. Total nightmare.

Reports of a plague outbreak in Russia follow the death of a researcher

Several hospitals in the Irkutsk region have been shut down and up to 200 workers have been quarantined.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green approaches Blue, who listens intently.
Green: I haven't been spending enough time with you.

Green sits down opposite of Blue.
Green: How about we take the afternoon to do things together? You choose.

Blue looks visibly excited, and Green leans in towards him.
Blue: Anything?
Green: Anything you like.

Blue rushes off in delight, while Green remains sitting, watching him go with an unreadable expression on his face.
Blue: Let's set up your controller, we're going to play that game you promised to try.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Let this sink in. Cornell University refused to refund Jane Doe's tuition the semester she was raped. Without this money, she could not transfer to another school. Essentially, she was forced to stay on campus where she saw those seven rapists frequently. Eventually she dropped out of college.

this feels like one of those things that you just gotta mention whenever their name comes up, even if the article is not actually about that for example,

screenshot of the opening paragraph of an article Elie Mystal wrote about the Voting Rights Act a couple years ago (link at end of alt text), with his first mention of a particular Supreme Court justice highlighted. text reads as follows:

I regret to inform you that the future of the Voting Rights Act, and the immediate question of whether Southern states can gerrymander away the political power of Black citizens, now rests squarely on the shoulders of alleged attempted rapist Brett Kavanaugh. That’s because the state of Alabama’s latest attempt to defy the 15th Amendment, and the Supreme Court’s own rulings, is inspired by a decision Kavanaugh wrote that explicitly asked for plaintiffs to file a case that could help him kill the VRA once and for all.

available at: https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/voting-rights-brett-kavanaugh-alabama/

screenshot of a paragraph excerpted from an article I wrote last year about conservatives feeling betrayed by Amy Coney Barrett (linked below), with my mention of a named rightwing media personality highlighted in green. excerpt reads as follows:

Much of the conservative backlash has linked Barrett’s purported failings to her identity. “As a female who leans right, I’m kind of sick,” said Megyn Kelly, a former Fox News anchor who said Santa and Jesus are both white. “Get somebody with some rhetorical balls.” Other conservative media creeps latched on to the idea that Barrett’s appointment was the product of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives—within the first Trump administration, apparently. “Amy Coney Barrett. DEI Judge,” one tweeted; “Amy Commie Barrett,” another replied.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.
