Will rural communities and farmers ever learn?

(Not if the Democrats continue to ignore places they've deserted. Take AL. In this town, there is one active Democratic organization, a little grassroots coffee klatch that talks about local transportation improvements, that's pretty much it. On the state and national level, there is no discernible thing as a Democratic Party office that organizes. The Dems ignore AL during every Presidential campaign because it has ceded its ground completely. On the state level, the AL Democratic Party is notionally a thing that exists but the people they run for governor and many other state offices are bona fide crackpots and religion-pushers. Basically, if the Democratic Party wants things to change across red and rural states, it is going to have put in continuous work and investment in personnel, time, and money to hammer it home to people that when Republicans hurt them, they voted for it, and they can choose to vote for something else.)

@nprofile…v6dl @nprofile…3r43 Yes I put strawberries in vinegar for a few minutes and then rinse and let them dry before putting them in the fridge. Prevents them getting moldy so fast.
As to the salt, when I was a kid we'd put salt on watermelon. I don't know if most people do that. Salt on fresh tomatoes also.

Pete Hegseth's pastor: Wilson believes men have a sexual right to women, and has written that unsubmissive women are at fault for sexual violence committed against them. “The sexual act cannot be made into an egalitarian pleasuring party … a man penetrates, conquers, colonizes, plants. A woman receives, surrenders, accepts.” Wilson also believes that God created women “to make the sandwiches” and thinks that giving women the right to vote led to “a long, sustained war on the family.” #military #DOD #natsec #ChristianExtremism https://newrepublic.com/post/188960/pete-hegseth-gets-regressive-ideas-women

U.S. intelligence agencies are closely monitoring suspected chemical weapons storage sites in Syria, looking for indications that forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad are preparing to employ them against the collection of rebel groups fighting to depose him, officials said Saturday.
The agencies assess that Mr. al-Assad’s forces have maintained limited stockpiles of chemical weapons, including munitions loaded with the nerve agent sarin, and there is growing concern that the government could employ them as part of a last-ditch effort to prevent rebels from seizing the capital, Damascus, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters.
Mr. al-Assad’s government has repeatedly used chemical weapons, including nerve agents and chlorine gas, against rebels during the 13-year civil war, according to assessments by human rights monitors, the United States and others.

No clear human-to-human transmission of #H5N1 has been documented yet, but “this feels the closest to an H5 pandemic that I’ve seen,” says Louise Moncla, a virologist at the University of Pennsylvania. “If H5 is ever going to be a pandemic, it’s going to be now,” adds Seema Lakdawala, a flu researcher at Emory University.
Others are more sanguine, noting that similarly menacing avian flu viruses, such as one called H7N9, have petered out in the past. “Why didn’t H7N9 end up being easily human-to-human transmissible and cause a pandemic?” asks Caitlin Rivers, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. “I feel like there’s really no way to estimate and it could go either way.”
A slew of recent findings all seem to suggest the risk of the current H5N1 clade in cattle and birds causing a pandemic is actually higher than previously thought. A study looking at blood samples from workers at H5N1-infected dairy farms in Michigan and Colorado found that many human infections go undetected, each one offering the bovine virus more chances to adapt to us. A preprint out this week indicates currently circulating clade 2.3.4.4b viruses are better at binding to human epithelial cells in the airways than previous versions of H5N1. And a Science paper out today shows in lab studies that a single mutation at one hemagglutinin site, dubbed 226L, is enough to shift the virus’ preference from the avian-type cell surface protein to human-type receptors. #HPAI #BirdFlu https://www.science.org/content/article/why-hasn-t-bird-flu-pandemic-started

"Amidst the farrago of lies that Russia used to justify its full-scale invasion invasion was the completely bogus claim that Ukraine was site of American biolabs that were testing which infections would be most harmful to Slavs (and thus Russians). This lie originates in Russia and was spread by Russian media, along with some Chinese and Syrian echo chambers, and with a set of western helpers -- one of whom was Tulsi Gabbard. ... She was specifically thanked by Russian state media for defending Russian war propaganda."

Please, #journalism #media etc. STOP calling "DOGE" an "agency" or an "office" or using any words at all that imply Elon Musk is doing anything other than impersonating a government official. No office has been established, Congress has not appropriated any money against a submitted budget. In fact I wonder if what they are doing is even legal, as far as the impersonation part goes. Maybe what you SHOULD be doing is investigating that. As they troll the American people with threats of cutting off elderly people's incomes and healthcare to a wide swath of the U.S., you are trotting along like good stenographers reporting on these creeps as if they are somehow officers of the government. They are not. They are grifters, scammers, and fascists seeking the destruction of the country that gives you the freedom to do this reporting. And their idiot patron is not even a government official at this time!

Per my last boost: but WHY is the country so lacking that moral compass? Part of it is because half the country has been drowning in a swirling cesspool of extreme right wing disinformation for almost three decades, due to many regulatory and judicial failures which are themselves due to extreme right wing expansion in government, which itself is in part due to changes in how television is regulated and how money in politics is regulated.
It's a gigantic self-licking ice cream cone of corruption that gets worse and worse and continuously compounds itself. Reply guys can take it much farther back in history but in more recent history what we see is an acceleration of the swirl due to the media capture and the dark money.

War-torn Ukraine has become a breeding ground for lethal drug-resistant bacteria
Now deep into its third year, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has become a breeding ground for bacteria that can withstand the world’s most potent antibiotics. “It’s eye-opening just how incredibly resistant some of the bacteria coming out of Ukraine are. I haven’t seen anything like it,” says Jason Bennett, director of the Multidrug-Resistant Organism Repository and Surveillance Network at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR).
Ringing alarm bells the loudest is Klebsiella pneumoniae, a pathogen that globally causes one in five deaths attributable to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Disease detectives have cultured hypervirulent Klebsiella from Ukrainian casualties, including strains described in a paper in the December issue of the Journal of Infection that are pandrug resistant—in other words, no single antibiotic can vanquish them.

@nprofile…38tz I'm white and was a hiring manager (I'm now retired) in DOD. I had no minority quotas, I was never told by HR that I needed to hire a minority. Nevertheless, in a mostly white male organization, it was my way of giving "the man" the finger to choose a minority or woman candidate whenever possible, if I had candidates that met the necessary qualifications. And I will tell you that the majority of the resumes I received for any job opening were from white men who had almost zero qualifications but felt they could name-drop their way into the job. I had no time for that sh*t on my team. My point is, sometimes a minority or woman is hired for a position over a white man, not because there's a quota, but because the hiring manager has already had seen white men who didn't take the position seriously. And never, ever doubt that a lot of unqualified people have applied for that job so it may be quite possible that yours is simply the most qualified resume in the stack.

@nprofile…2gcn I have been trying to figure all this out as well and weighing options including tax friendliness to retirees. It does seem the that the options of warm weather, affordability, and not an extremist christian theocracy cuts out almost every state. NM is a possibility. It seems there's just no other option but to move north and suffer winters again. Which I don't want at all. So I'm sitting here in a theocratic state that will happily participate in Trump's worst experiments of autocracy, trying to figure out what to do. As a single retiree I don't have the income to get the kind of home I want in CA or various other states, as compared to here in AL. It's a real quandary. Move to a beat up little shack in a blue state or stay in a nice house in a red state where, for all I know, they may end up closing the borders down in some future Trump manic episode. I mean, we can't afford to limit our imaginations to what could happen in the next few years.

This is another way that Trump could gut the Civil Service, by moving agencies to random locations around the country and forcing employees to either move or quit.

Matt Gaetz, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Pete Hegseth, and Tulsi Gabbard – they are not simply “combative loyalists” or even “firebrands”. They are chaos agents, wildly unqualified, wholly unfit. They are entirely off the scale of previous cabinet appointees. Two of them are full-blown conspiracy theorists. None have management experience. Three of them are sexual predators.
What they are is intentionally norm-shattering picks intended to destabilize the government and pave the way for Donald Trump to seek retribution against his enemies. They are a wrecking crew.
The best shorthand phrase was coined by Yale historian Timothy Snyder, an expert in authoritarianism, in a recent interview on MSNBC.
"It’s not just that these people are not qualified enough. It’s not just that they’re totally unqualified. It’s that they are anti-qualified. They are qualified to do the opposite of the thing that they are supposed to do."

Yes, because that's how geniuses come to their conclusions, they base them on random numbers. They are going to privatize everything the govt does, so they can plunder it. You think prices are bad now? In the future you'll pay more taxes AND pay new fees for the things your taxes are supposed to pay for. So billionaires can hoard and hoard and hoard, while the U.S. barrels downhill on every single aspect of national security. Geniuses.

Whatever you can imagine Trump might be able to do with the levers of power, and how quickly, perhaps you haven't imagined enough.

"A memo circulating among at least half a dozen advisers to former President Donald J. Trump recommends that if he is elected, he bypass traditional background checks by law enforcement officials and immediately grant security clearances to a large number of his appointees after being sworn in, according to three people briefed on the matter."

Kind of humorous and pathetic to see people on Threads complaining that their corporate billionaire landlord is removing posts that contain the name Hitler. The Fediverse is right over here, Threads users.

@npub1kmk…mtuy That's a pleasant surprise, considering almost all outdoor signs or flags around here are for Trump. But it looks like in the privacy of their own homes most donors favor Harris.

@npub1v2s…mqq5 That's exactly right. It's why my family's excitement about Trump in 2016 broke my relationship with them. Because I saw this in them. They loved everything that was disgusting about him and I didn't know this about them before.

My kid in GA: "OMG I saw a truck flying a HARRIS flag 😱 It was a badass, loud, southern truck too. What a declaration of manhood in these parts."
I asked whether it had any bullet holes in it 😂

Trump Breaks Down Onstage
"To watch the event is to see signs of someone having a breakdown. Like Joe Biden’s disastrous debate against Trump in June, when the president’s fumbling performance and struggle to get sentences out made it impossible to believe he was up to the task of serving for four years, Trump’s rally last night would force any reasonable person to conclude that he is not up to the grueling task of leading the world’s greatest nation, handling economic crises, or dealing with foreign adversaries. Which isn’t to say that some people didn’t try to reason through it. Reporters still seem unsure of how to deal with Trump’s stranger behaviors. Journalists are trained to take information and make sense of it, even amid chaos. The problem is that doing so conjures logic where none exists."
