Good morning! Yesterday I realized more migrating Ruby-throated Hummingbirds had joined the party. When the feeders are this busy there are maybe 20 hummers taking a rest in the tree and shrubs around my porch. Two bags of sugar have been procured.🪶

Remember the guy from Quebec, and his boat was swamped, and he was taken into custody. When you're on the water, anyone using GPS charts *most do now* has clear boundaries. And this guy is a retired Canadian Coast Guard so he knew exactly where he was. They're itching to start a fight.

Buckle up, because it's going to be a long ride. Check out this thread for a preview - and if this is all new information to you, ask yourself why the public health leaders who were so happy about having made COVID endemic wouldn't have told you about the consequences of COVID being endemic...
I will never, ever understand the medical community abandoning masks when absolutely nothing indicates that’s a safe course of action to take.
I had this same thought.. in the emergency department! Why in the world are you - thanking me for wearing a mask - *not* wearing an n95? They are free, right over there. With the signs about increases in COVID, flu, RSV and measles. And sick people quite literally all around you. WHAT
I’ve noticed this. Medical personnel need to mask up.
The cognitive dissonance in being someone who interacts with the sick, all day long, yet STILL feels ZERO compunction over potentially spreading unmasked illness to vulnerable patients. WHY do healthcare workers & doctors think THEY are the EXCEPTION to Covid’s hyper-transmissibility? They’re NOT.

Last thing I will post tonight about the HPV vaccine is this: It not only prevents cervical cancer, but also penile cancer and anal cancer. So boys should get it, too. (Also, statistical modelling clearly shows that is boys are vaccinated, cervical cancer is eliminated faster)

US not prepared for war with Russia, it's recommended local and state governments take initiative due to near collapse of federal agencies under Trump. Unlike previous wars, this one will reach the homeland.
It's great that 9 former CDC leaders have written a scathing commentary in the NY Times warning the world of RFK Jr's insanity. But..... sigh.... the people who read the NY Times already know this. And the people who need to know this.... don't read.
Trump could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and get away with it, Netanyahu could kill 53,000, and Putin could kill millions. The table of impunity only gets longer. It’s important to fight tyrants at all levels. #3E
