It's widely accepted that hantavirus transmits from rodent excreta to humans via inhalation of aerosolized virus, so I don't understand why we're so reluctant to acknowledge the inhalation route for human-to-human transmission.

Btw COVID was proven to be airborne bc of THIS WOMAN’s research and the WHO had to completely revise decades of science, she is a HERO, EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW HER NAME!!! She will be remembered by history and in the future so much about our infrastructure will change bc of her.
What I find the most frustrating is that all these old folks have been in office long enough to have mentored at least a dozen people who they SHOULD feel is able to carry on their legacy into the new era but they just cling to power instead.
This is so fucked up. If you can't support your families on $200k/year then how can people making $20/hour? Fucking scumbags. Johnson needs to go. Stock trading MUST end. We need reps who aren't looting the markets, period.
“Once triggered, the M-44 shoots a pellet of sodium cyanide into the animal’s mouth—causing terror, pain, distress, suffering, injury and death.”
The Bureau of Land Management may now freely use cyanide bombs to kill animals on public lands.
If you’re wondering where all this water goes the answer is: it becomes humidity via evaporative cooling. Put enough of these things close enough together and it’ll significantly degrade the local climate, especially at night
Flock cameras don’t just grab your license plate.
They log:
• Dents/stickers/damage/decals on car
• Likeness of driver (clothing & facial details)
• Direction, speed, duration of time on roads
• Accompanying passenger count
These cameras are Orwellian & unconstitutional.
yanno between the data centers popping up faster than your local Spirit Halloween and the waymos “randomly” running around residential neighborhoods, can we just call this what it is: setting up the surveillance state
The largest open library in human history, Anna's Archive, has been ordered to pay Spotify and the three largest record labels on the world $322 million.
The defendant has not appeared in court and is not going to. The site is still up with two backup domains standing by and there's nothing the censors can do.
Anna's Archive currently holds 63 million books, 95 million academic papers, and 1.1 petabytes of mirrored torrents. It is free. It is searchable. It is run by a pseudonymous person nobody has identified after four long years of searching.
In the four months since the music industry filed the first of three coordinated lawsuits, the library has lost six domain names and added two million books to the catalogue. The cartel is suing it faster every month, and it is growing faster every month.
In December, Spotify and the major labels filed. In January, OCLC, the company that runs WorldCat, won a default judgment of its own. On March 6th, thirteen of the largest book publishers in the United States, including HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, Simon and Schuster, Macmillan, Hachette, Elsevier, Wiley, and McGraw Hill, filed a third lawsuit in the same federal court.
The publishers' complaint runs to seventy-four pages. They call Anna's Archive a "brazen pirate operation." They call it "an illegal supplier of stolen content to the AI industry."
The same publishers are simultaneously suing Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, and NVIDIA for training their models on the same corpus the publishers want Anna to destroy. The cartel argues, in two parallel federal courts, that the corpus cannot be used by anyone. Not the pirate who built it. Not the AI company that downloaded from it. Not the graduate student who pulls a paywalled paper from it at two in the morning.
Anna did not respond to any of the three complaints. Anna has never responded to any complaint. Anna is a name on a blog and a public key on a server and a person, or maybe several people, in a jurisdiction nobody has identified after four years of searching.
The judgment is uncollectable. The permanent injunction binds Cloudflare, Public Interest Registry, Njalla, the Switch Foundation, Tucows, and nine other named intermediaries. The Greenland registry is not on the list. The Greenland registry has not complied.
The site currently lives at .gl, with .pk and .gd standing by. The corpus has always moved faster than the censor. The censor has always called the corpus piracy. The corpus has always survived the censor by becoming the readers themselves.
The publishers' lawsuit cannot reach the torrents. The torrents are already seeded across continents and IPFS nodes and personal NAS drives owned by people the publishers will never find. The default judgment is paper. The corpus is everywhere.
The cartel will win every lawsuit but they will lose the war. The publisher who walks into court next month with a fresh filing will be filing against a defendant who has, in the time since the last filing was sealed, mirrored another half million books to another seven hundred volunteers in another forty countries.
There is no defendant to find. There is only the next upload. It is already seeding.
@comet5inthe5ky It just doesn’t click in my brain how they think they can call women every bitch/cunt/whore under the sun because…what? Like actually what? Why does being gay mean you get to say ANY of those things without consequence 😭?
In the article, she talks about how she felt scared while dating women because paparazzi were following her, and she also mentions being in abusive relationships with a man for years. But for some reason, they chose this as the caption.
