Who went through all the major platforms where the Pentagon might stream their barbaric firing squad "livestream" execution to see if it violated their policies? Me. I did it.

I'd guess that NYT editors would be reluctant, but this 2023 quote should really be included in any article that addresses RFK Jr's colossally ignorant takes on #HIV research (he's an AIDS denialist): "There are much better candidates than HIV for what causes AIDS." nymag.com/intelligence...

TIL there’s a fish that lives in the lowest depths of the Congo River that has stunted growth, no color pigment, and no eyes. And locally it’s called “mondeli bureau,” which translates to “white man in an office” LMAO
A very small blind pasty white yellowish fish in the palm of someone’s hand. Lamprologus lethops, a fish that lives in the lower Congo River, is pale and blind like fish that dwell in caves deep underwater.

Speaking of TSwift songs, we also have a piece @livescience.com about Patient Zero -- a misinterpretation of Patient O, the pseudonym for the person who unknowingly introduced HIV into the US. 🧪

HIV's 'Patient Zero' Wrongly Blamed for AIDS Epidemic
A flight attendant who has been blamed for introducing HIV into the U.S. was actually one of thousands of people who were already infected by the late 1970s, new research shows.

BTW, many Eastern European states, which have serious problems with grand corruption like the US, have established independent anticorruption agencies outside the executive’s control. The US should consider learning from the experience.

Speaking as a former 9/11 Truther; the only person who can get you out of the conspiracy rabbit hole is you. You'll either have a "Hey, wait a minute..." moment, or you won't. It wasn't facts that made me re-think things. Rampant homophobia + anti-Atheist rhetoric on the forums I hung out on did.

The cats graciously put on a magic show for us last night. I figured out how they did most of the tricks, but I didn’t say anything, because that would have been rude.
Two cats on a platformed tower. One is on the lower level, head hidden behind the middle section. The second is on the top tier with only their head showing.
