Thrilled to get my Moderna booster today. Many thanks to all the scientists who worked and continue to work on this to help keep my immunocomprised body safer, and to the late great Dolly Parton for helping fund the R&D behind it.

Yes, ethnic cleansing has been and remains the goal. The current genocide in the Gaza strip is one means to this end.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.
The situation in Haiti is terrifying. On Sunday, 150 gunmen swept down on a town to kill, rape, loot, and burn. 22 people were executed in a churchyard. 52 were taken hostage.
Stephen Miller mockingly says Haiti is safe and ICE just sent its second deportation flight this month; with kids on board.

Definitely don't do this.
And you definitely don't want to use a high-powered 532nm green laser, because it can permanently burn and disable digital camera CMOS or CCD sensors. Green light is absorbed at a very high efficiency by these electronic sensors, meaning concentrated beams easily melt or overload the pixel array.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers.
These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR.
We need a data center moratorium — now.
