Most of the time, deaths from pneumonic plague are people not realizing it's not just a standard respiratory infection until it's too late! You'd think a researcher would know better, but I tend to not discount the "people are fucking stupid" factor until shown evidence that wasn't it

One crazy thing about this new outpouring of racism against South Asians and calls for expulsion or forced assimilation is it was kicked off by some brown skinned students at a Texas game wearing cowboy hats and excitedly celebrating their football team — ie some guys very assimilated to America.

i *do* think that retiring to give trump a chance to appoint another justice after the public have overwhelmingly rejected trump and his party in historic margins is the kind of thing that will make court reform not just necessary, but popular

There is a reassuring fantasy among those who have critiques of unfettered left-wing governance that right agrees with these critiques and will temper the left when in power. But the contemporary right isnt that, it's an apocalyptic doomsday cult that lives in an alternate reality.

Point of information: The Republican Party has already spent far more on protecting a single U.S. Senate seat in Texas than the TOTAL cost of the 2000 Presidential election for BOTH Al Gore and George W. Bush COMBINED. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

The Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee together spent $79.9 million on television ads in the 2000 presidential campaign, far more than the $67.1 million spent by the campaigns of Gov. Bush and Vice President Gore, the study says.

I think this is why universal healthcare isn’t as much of a white collar voting issue: for many of them, particularly the young and/or healthy, their experience with the medical realm is (as far as they know) indistinguishable from universal healthcare. They get sick, they mostly don’t get billed.

Since this summer, ICE has been arresting asylum applicants at airports. Many came legally, then applied for asylum. They have been here for years just stuck in a massive line, working and paying taxes while they wait. No prior admin would have arrested them. Their “overstay” is due to DHS delay.

The Heritage Apple Corps have found trees in central Oregon that are genetic matches for some of the rare "lost" apple varieties we find in the islands. With more sampling, both here and there, we hope to be able to properly identify these varieties and bring them back into production.

These 130-year-old Central Oregon pioneer apple trees are still bearing fruit

Apple trees planted by Central Oregon's first homesteaders 130 years ago are still producing fruit, and some varieties are so rare that DNA tests came back as unique.
