On the plus side, Trump would likely redeploy his BOOT EDGE EDGE bit in a debate

Visiting family right now…my academic brother is despairing that Tory MPs are placing bets on how many seats they’ll lose as “Britain needs effective opposition” once Labour win otherwise “the extreme left or right will get power”. He also cited the lack of “effective opposition” as what led to “Britain being destroyed” by the Tories.
For someone that is a scientist and entirely defines his identity by his career, it’s kind of funny how little he understands long term trends or that having an effective right wing party is a bad thing.

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has contracted the woke mind virus
My boss is giving a talk at an upcoming prestigious software leadership conference and their slides are literally screenshots of all the planning work I did for a project 2 years ago
The petit-bourgeois, folks! They keep getting away with it! Very bad, very dishonest!

Your post made me dig up this Trump bit:
Trump calls Pete Buttigieg’s name ‘unpronounceable’
Honestly some of his best material from the 2020 campaign, no notes.
Ooooooh looks like bird flu is still on the menu…
Meanwhile…
Only one human case linked to cattle has been confirmed to date, and symptoms were limited to conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye. But Russo and many other vets have heard anecdotes about workers who have pink eye and other symptoms—including fever, cough, and lethargy—and do not want to be tested or seen by doctors. James Lowe, a researcher who specializes in pig influenza viruses, says policies for monitoring exposed people vary greatly between states. “I believe there are probably lots of human cases,” he says, noting that most likely are asymptomatic.

To quote from the first link I posted:
H5N1 is a strain of influenza A. It’s impossible to know at this time if this is what is driving this increase, but vigilance is warranted. Hopefully this is simply all a coincidence or just a statistical anomaly. I watch for early signals to monitor.
This could be nothing. But - we might be on the cusp of watching Joe Biden handle a new pandemic in a more dismissive way than Donald Trump, while liberals defend him.
Not to sound melodramatic, but I survived layoffs at my company recently. The survivor’s guilty is wild, as is the fear of deeper layoffs and the increased workload now so many people have gone. That combined with seeing ghoulish execs manoeuvring for position….fuck I hate corporations so much.
And still, tech workers won’t unionize
Comrades, my 3 year old legit read her first word unprompted today - I’m not making this up, it was “free” after her seeing a big “FREE PALESTINE” sign
After my wife telling me about this happening of earshot of her, my kiddo is now repeating “free Palestine” over and over
My company had its annual in-person kickoff event a couple of weeks ago. The following week, I think nearly a third of the company was either out sick, or working with their cameras off in Zoom meetings explaining “I’m really sick”
Absolute miracle that I somehow didn’t catch it
Can’t believe no one has yet commented on Gruesome Gavin’s ex-wife being Don Jr’s fiancé. The potential for the turbo-neoliberal to get dragged down into talking about his hog on a debate stage is real
