We had a human vaccine for Lyme disease in the 90's that was 80% effective. It got pulled after attacks by anti-vaccine pushback. But your dog can get one.
LymeAlert is the first at-home test for ticks that can detect whether the tick carries the bacterium that causes Lyme disease.

I got a late start, but my tomatoes are coming along nicely. I've been busy pruning them, and clipping them to support lines. 🌱 #AmGardening

If you are weary of democratic socialists winning the elections
All you have to do is beat them

“Democrats appear slow to recognize that ideologues on the left are attempting a hostile takeover of the party,” James Kirchick writes. In looking for a way to reclaim control, he argues, they could find inspiration in British history:
The DSA Is Only Using the Democratic Party
The left-wing faction is a parasite.

the us war on iran: if you don't like what's happening, wait twenty minutes
President Donald Trump has abandoned his plan to charge a 20% toll in the Strait of Hormuz and restarted a naval blockade, a day after a White House official told Semafor he was "very serious" about the fee.

Trump abandons Hormuz toll plan, restarts naval blockade
Analysts were skeptical about the toll proposal, as it would double the cost of moving oil through the strait.

I really think it’s time for a massive re-write of how we handle the death of people. There’s no need nor should there be a requirement to shine only light of niceties on people who deliberately destroyed the lives of others.
There is no grace period in death.

I got to know Senator Lindsey Graham traveling with him abroad in Afghanistan and Ukraine. We had just met to renew the fight for our Big Tech bill.
Even though we disagreed on much, he was always willing to negotiate, with humor and wit.
My heart goes out to his loved ones.

1. London Underground station flooding has reportedly been reduced by around 90% thanks to a group of engineers: beavers.
After conservationists reintroduced a family of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals built dams and restored wetlands that now absorb and slow floodwater naturally.

Lot of people saying the rocket was expected and going to explode on landing, sure, and then saying "I hate to defend Musk, but..." Um, then don't? He didn't build or design the rocket anyway. My mockery is at the NYT using the "mostly successful" of the corporation unqualified.
