As of Oct. 3, there have been seven confirmed cases in New York City and 101 in New York State outside of NYC.
Pennsylvania has surpassed 1,000 measles cases and reported five measles-associated deaths this year. That makes it the largest state outbreak in over three decades. The knarly man's work?

Leaders and organized entities do not exist in isolation. To foil a tyrant, dig into the organization and expose the web that keeps him or her in power: the figurehead is all they are.

Growing up in post-WWII America, the sense that Japan was inferior was prevalent - they lost the war after all. That was totally wrong. I can't fit an essay here; do the research yourself: pre-war, during the war and post war despell that myth.

The hidden story in scientific advances and technology is not one eureka moment. It is the slow, arduous (risky) work of scientists sharing and collaborating. It would do all those who have contributed to advancement a disservice. Even Einstein stood on the shoulders of predecessors.

It would be an error to focus only on caudillos and ignore those who profit from them. Prominent oligarchs, for one. "... industrialists, financiers, and business dynasties ..."

All civilizations eventually decline, and the citizens may not have recognized what was happening. Keep your eyes open and don't be caught off guard. Rome

An archaeologist just discovered a major anachronistic site of early humans. Clay tablets indicate it was franchised.

Star Trek portrays humanity as an egalitarian spacefaring race offering friendship and peace. The tension between good and evil is portrayed, but it seems to exist beyond Earth. My observations of our planet and its inhabitants contradict this expectation. I hope I am wrong.

Providing people with food, shelter, education, and dignity—these values ​​are hard to argue about in themselves. The real challenge lies in achieving them sustainably and equitably. Good social discussion isn't just about comparing who is kinder, but also about what methods are truly effective.
Whatever the colour of your political persuasion, if this ISN’T your view… you’re on the wrong side.
Simple.

75 years ago, despite challenges, our family cared for the young and old; no government or religious programs did much. Things always change; now we worry about oil, Greenland, and how much crypto we have.

My DNA (for all ancestors 1880 - 1920) indicated I am from a point in Eastern Europe close to where claims for its center have been made. I see why I like winters and mountains. My Americanized surname is easiest to explain by dropping the accent at the end in the Hungarian spelling.

Yes, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., serves as the sole official national memorial to President John F. Kennedy. Like Lincoln, he deserves it because he earned it: hero, president, leader ... #Congress #democrats #Hakeem Jeffries

People who contributed to civilization don't come along every day; (sorry I omitted women by accident)

Imhotep ,King Solomon (970–931 BCE) ,Marcus Aurelius Leonardo da Vinci — polymath, scientist, inventor, Archimedes — mathematical and engineering genius. Isaac Newton — foundational physicist

This is the second time a computer update has left me unable to log in to a Blue Sky account. Oh well, I will just start from here once more.

Every time my computer is updated, some of my logins get really messed up. If I misplace a character, it sometimes takes hours to get things running again, but Bluesky gets so messed up I need to create another account. ugh!
