To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

One of America’s Last Chestnut Groves Is About to Be Destroyed for a Data Center
A rare 200-tree American chestnut grove in West Virginia may be cleared for data-center development, but the project denies the site is on its land.

Researchers, clinicians, and advocates gathered for the inaugural conference of the International Society for Long COVID and Post-Acute Infection Syndromes in the Netherlands in late August. Read more from @davetuller1.bsky.social: thesicktimes.org/2026/10/06/b...
Collage graphic featuring a photo of buildings along a canal in Amsterdam, a cluster of tulips, an anatomical diagram showing the human brain and spinal cord, and a diagram of microbes, interspersed with colored blocks in golden and light green. The text reads, “The Sick Times. Biological pathways and mechanistic trials centered at new Long COVID conference in Amsterdam. By David Tuller. Reporting.”Key points you should know:

In late August, the International Society for Long COVID and Post-Acute Infection Syndromes hosted its inaugural gathering in Amsterdam. Hundreds hobnobbed in the H’ART Museum, a major cultural and conference facility in the heart of the city.
 
Presenters acknowledged that a series of clinical trials had produced disappointing results. They focused on seeking lessons from the null findings and called for more smartly designed trials targeting the pathological mechanisms believed to be involved.Some presenters highlighted innovative use of electronic wearables and remote monitoring in an effort to improve research and accurately track biological events, such as the occurrence of post-exertional malaise.
 
PROBE-PASC, a program centering mechanistic trials for Long COVID funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, was revealed during the conference.

I fear that any midterm “mandate” angry voters give them will be squandered on dinner party invites instead of building the accountability regime people are desperate for and are putting their bodies and lives on the line to get.

Professional photograph of a squirrel leaping down from a branch at a very startled-looking owl. The owl’s yellow eyes are wide as it looks over its shoulder up at the squirrel who clearly has zero regard for his own life, his mouth open as if shouting WITNESS ME, or potentially some sort of justification for this surprise attack, Inigo Montoya style. Whatever the Owl has to say in return is definitely in all caps.

I am SO sick of this, like how is this acceptable? Why are tax funded shelters no longer taking cats from the public? Especially cats that were clearly pets that have been DUMPED. House cats are not wild, feral cats are still domestic animals, none of this is sustainable and it is CRUEL to both the
A screenshot of a Facebook post, it reads:

“This sweet girl was tossed out of a Red truck at grocery outlet off of Belmont & Olive, she was crying so loud and me and my daughter couldn't leave her there 💔 she was so scared.
I was unable to get their license plate do to being across the parking lot when I saw this and they drove away to quickly.

 We took her to be scanned hoping their info would come up but she isn't chipped, she is fixed tho because she has a tattoo on her little belly. 

The shelter told us to just drop her back off in the parking lot but that just felt wrong to do! So

We have her in our bathroom in hopes that we can find her a home or someone that can help, we have to keep her in the bathroom because of our dogs. “

Imagine paying $50 for an all you can eat buffet. The lines a bit long but the food is ok. Now imagine you only pay $20 to go to the buffet. But Each piece of food costs $500 dollars. Drinks are at a different buffet. Same with silverware. Long lines too. Universal vs whatever our healthcare is.

While in the field helping cats displaced by the nor'easter in Atlantic County, our team spotted Charlie and brought him in for care, too. We believe this big guy (he's 21 pounds!) may have entropion, a condition in which the eyelids turn inward and the eyelashes rub against and irritate the eye.

What may happen to the Cornell 7 is that the pendulum will swing very far the other way and they are punished more than ordinary rapists. Which I'm completely in favor of. Let the pendulum get stuck at the top of its swing. Let's shift the Overton Window of punishing rapists to life in jail.
