I've decided to be ineffable for the moment. I'm a pedestrian birder. Almost everything bird you'll see here was within walking distance of my apartment in Chicago.

The article says the proposal was written by one of Trump's own VA appointee's chief of staff. It's not exactly something he should be able to distance himself from as brownshirt wannabees. It was from someone hired by someone he himself appointed. Part of Trump's top level admin!

So it turns out that Kong has better dental coverage than any American or Brit. (It included concierge dentistry with a house call)

Get some gum. The metal taste is real. Also beware of rebounds. Pax relieved my quite bad symptoms instantly and after the full dosage I went four days testing clear before I had the rebound and it caught my wife at that point.

Watching Godzilla X Kong on HBO Max or whatever it is called on this particular day and the very first scene is an example of why dental should be covered as part of health insurance.

When you look into the ones that get quoted in newspaper stories you often also discover all kinds of unsavory stuff as well. The cry to the press small business owners are not normal people.

It really feels like by the time the US rolls out this fall's booster everyone will be ineligible for it due to recent covid infections. Everybody in my social medias are testing pos in the past few weeks myself included.

I don't even think they are imagining customers using the same mode. They are only thinking about their own parking options and are using hypothetical customers as rhetorical cover for what is simply their own desire.

How much of the decline in participation is due to people knowing the outcome was a foregone conclusion? It's hard to infer the Labour support when people were confident it would be a wipeout so they may not have felt a pressing need to go to the polls.

This is true but the UK press doesn't run exactly the same stories about Labour over and over. They usually invent new pseudo-scandals each time.

You might want to look into why he was excommunicated. He was arguing for the church never changing or facing up to criticism or responsibility. Basically he wanted an unrepentant Catholic Church which is kind of darkly and stupidly funny.

Just saw a Facebook reel of someone gushing about how beautiful Chicago is and it was just a video of them driving on DuSable Lakeshore Drive. That's has to be one of the saddest things I have seen. Chicago is amazing but driving in traffic on a 8 lane highway just isn't regardless of the skyline.

According to the CDC I could have gone out maskless living my life yesterday 5 days post covid-19 infection. The funny thing is I am still way too sick to take the CDC up their offer of state sanctioned reckless disregard for my fellow humans.

It's not just that it's a piece against voting, it's a fake world-weary article about how civic disengagement is good from a guy with radical reactionary politics who spends his life doing advocacy (including publishing this op-ed in the New York Times)

Use a mask when home it says....but not when out in public? I guess because it is now being made illegal in red states and in crazy pants NY? For the records masking is going on in my apartment and my wife is not testing positive yet 160 hours after I contracted covid.

Then after that I am supposed to improve air quality wherever i go. LOL. That would be public health's responsibility and domain. Something like a government agency perhaps. Maybe one dedicated to controlling disease even. But no...it's on me.

So Fever is both one of the cluster of symptoms and also a special symptom that the CDC views as a precursor of the other symptoms. What does symptoms "getting better" even mean? Unclear. If my volume of snot goes down? My throat gets slightly less sore? I cough half as much?

So I have covid-19 right now and I am looking at the CDC guidelines and they are incredibly ambiguous and useless. I'm quite sick but have had no fever at all. My symptoms rollercoaster up and down all day long. Where am iI in their examples? Nowhere. www.cdc.gov/respiratory-...

Any day now they might come around to twice annual boosters for any who wants them (or at least for over 50's where the seriousness curve starts its upward bend) but alas too late for me as I've got my second round of actual Covid-19. Thanks US Public Health infrastructure!

I'm currently riding out Covid infection #2. It's pretty awful but not nearly as bad as my first go at it even though I took paxlovid the first time. Less flu symptomology and more cold this time. Mostly I am bored and restless and time is crawling.
