You're thinking of bubonic plague? Passed through flea bites and contact with the waste of infected animals. This is pneumonic plague, it is airborne and very contagious for the short time the carrier is alive. Measles is active and deadly here and now, while this pneumonic plague is not here.

I feel pretty certain that if the GOP wins both the House and the Senate (impossible), the only $5000 these people would see is a valueless commemorative gold-inked $5000 bill with Trumpo's ugly mugshot on it.

As a rural user trying to make a 2027 choice i'm seeing increased premiums, deductibles and copays in Advantage and decreased benefits, providers, and available plans. The only Advantage seen over original Medicare is coverage for hospitalization. Oz is a con man like the rest of this administration

Rebellion against the crown began well before the declaration of independence. So 50 yrs before Britain's abolition is a better number. Still, Britain continued to make heavy cash from American slavery right up to 1865. Overturning Roe took about 50 years, but I don't see the comparison.

I get that. Thanks for saying it. However much we "viewers" enjoy her happy reaction it is still her personal life and all the cameras turned that into our public entertainment. So I'm sorry for that, but still glad for her happiness.

CosmicRay @bobful.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
My comment here was countering the notion that the American Revolution was a reaction against Britains abolition of slavery. As you confirm, that abolition was much later. You say our civil war was fought to keep slavery? There were two sides in that war.

Cool story, but it was Britain that instituted slavery in its american colonies in the first place. Mansfield's decision only prevented slaves in Britain from being removed from Britain, and the Slavery Abolition Act wasn't passed until 1833. The sins of the US did not have a virgin birth.

Most states in the US ceased using the death penalty long ago. It might be an easy guess on which ones still use it. So thanks for the insulting stereotype but Canada used capital punishment until 1998. You arent saints either.

It was obviously planned. But I don't think she was in on it, and that plan made her pretty happy. A successful plan.

The idea that no one was asking her is written on her face at the start of the clip. He chose to break the stupid stereotypes and make her happy. It's a nice little story. Does it really need to be more than that?

This is bad. “When these minerals are oxidized, they release metals – iron, aluminum, manganese, zinc, nickel, cadmium, and rare earth elements – that can then seep into waterways, hence the rivers' rusty appearances.”

The 2026 Medicare Part B premium is $202.90 per month. I don't see the 2027 amount announced yet, but it will surely be higher. "Nearly $100"? Thanks Don, but I'll be needing a much bigger bribe.

Nah. They are saying that Trump changed and disappointed them. They arent saying that they have changed. They'd vote for him again tomorrow if he wasn't so old and crazy. Our criticisms of him from day 1 still dont mean anything to them.

75% of our leading food crops depend on pollinators. No bees = no tomatoes, no beans, no peppers, no mangoes, no coffee. You think food comes from the supermarket. It comes from a bee that just died from insecticide drift.

A lie does not become truth because millions believe it. Wrong does not become right because the majority accepts it. And evil does not become good because enough people choose to look the other way. The masses can make evil normal. It can never make it right.
