The Editorial Board figured out the trick: Prop 42 (and 41) are deceptive measures put on the ballot by billionaires who want to stop Prop 40 (the Billionaire Tax) so they don't have to pay their fair share - Vote YES on 40, NO on 41 & 42!

Covid damage is cumulative. The part that “feels like a cold or flu” isn’t the long term damage, and every time you allow your body to catch covid it piles more on the “maybe long covid will take effect this time” load. I think most people don’t know they already have long covid.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

The arguments you've heard against California's billionaire tax are utter BS. Here to debunk them — and explain why you should vote YES on Prop 40 — is renowned economist @gabrielzucman.bsky.social

This dude has no moral center. He's admitted he has no solution for the massive federal healthcare funding cuts, but he's opposing Prop. 40 because he doesn't want his billionaire buddies to be sad. Vote YES ON 40 (and No on 41 & 42) to make Gavin cry and keep hospitals open
Screenshot of a post with a photo of Gul Dukat from Star Trek Deep Space Nine next to Gavin Newsom - the resemblance is uncanny

Text above the photo reads: 
One thing about Newsom is that once you notice his Gul Dukat vibe you can’t unsee it

Oh my God. OH MY GOD. XD

Believe it or not, this article gets significantly *worse* than the headline and lede. (full text of this portion of the article in Alt text)
Remaining text from the "Negro Women to be Put to Work" article from Oct. 2, 1918 in the Greenville News:

"steps should be taken to compel them to engage in some useful oc-cupation. It was decided that an ordinance, similar to the one now in force requiring all able-bodied men to work at least five days per week, should be passed with regard to these women. Such an ordinance will be prepared and voted on at the next regular meeting of Council.
A number of complaints have come to memberg of Council of negro women who are not at work and who refuse employment when it 1s offered them, the result being that it is exceedingly dificult for families who need cooks and laundresses to get them. Wives of colored soldiers, getting a monthly allowance from the Government, have, a number of them, declined to work on the ground that they can get along without working, according to reports. Others have flatly refused jobs without giving any reason whatever, while still others pretend that they are employed when, as a matter of fact, they derive a living from illegitimate means.

The proposed ordinance will require them all to carry a labor identification card showing that they are regularly and usefully employed, and the labor inspectors and police will be charged with the duty of rigidly enforcing the law."
