What's behind this tidal wave of epidemics? In the largest study ever conducted on emerging infectious diseases, we show that the popular explanation - "our relationship with nature is out of balance" - doesn't hold up. Out now in Nature, after half a decade of work: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Citizens showed up to the city council meeting with plans to let city leaders know how they felt about the city’s use of Flock. But Springfield mayor Jeff Schrag moved to prevent public comment on Flock.

Donald Trump’s speech was broadcast without audio due to a boycott by journalists from the presidential press pool.
Editorial teams from major U.S. television networks launched the protest after Trump ordered journalists from CNN, Politico, and MS NOW to be barred from working at the White House.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it.
It was effectively banned as it never aired again.
I wonder why.

I always try to mention Melissa Barrera the past two years because she was the first celebrity casualty for simply speaking out against genocide.
She shared an article by a scholar and that was enough to cancel her.
I hope people give her the spotlight and some love.

Well that was not fun. I'm ok but I got hit by a car at the intersection of Greenwood and 6th. 1st driver stopped, but it was a big truck, so even moving slowly I couldn't see the second one which came flying through and despite braking, took out my bike and bounced me on to the ground

If this plays in Seattle I'm there.
The "Fled Sheeran Tour." I LIKE it. And it would be badass to support these musicians who put their consciences before their livelihoods.
I'd pay to see that show. &:^)
