As long as β€œkeyword searching, Boolean logic and controlled vocabulary” still works, great! Stand-alone is a *huge* plus.

DOGE is, of course, a con. Government waste does deserve inspection; hence, the preexistent OMB.

It’s the Texas sharpshooter scenario: see which potential goal has made the most progress, then declare that as the official goal.

Mastodon just requires extra work, like tags on every post to make it findable, alt-text on every image (a good practice anyway), and sending the sysop $ once in a while. I’m too lazy and broke; hence bsky.

Screenshot of a news article from The Post titled β€œRepeatedly getting Covid doesn’t build immunity, β€˜it’s more like accumulating damage’,” written by Melanie Earley of RNZ and dated March 10, 2026. Below the headline is a portrait of leading vaccinologist and associate professor Dr Helen Petousis-Harris, shown facing the camera against a dark background. The article discusses how repeated COVID-19 infections may cause cumulative harm rather than building lasting immunity.

"Leading vaccinologist Helen Petousis-Harris says there's not enough awareness of the impact of COVID-19 on overall health."

"What many people don't realise is that getting COVID repeatedly is not like building immunity, it's more like accumulating damage," she says.

Russia already is profiting from a surge in energy prices over the war's disruptions to tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and damage to energy facilities in Gulf countries. If hostilities escalate, a continued windfall would help fill Moscow's coffers to finance military operations in Ukraine and patch the budget deficit.
The Kremlin also hopes the Iran war will distract global attention from Ukraine, deplete Western arsenals and force the U.S. and its NATO allies to reduce military support for Kyiv.

Local opinion: Arizona Republicans want to make our children sick We have a vested interest in protecting our communities and everyone in them. β€œMedical freedom” is the antithesis of community.

The idea of β€œmedical freedom” weighs one parent’s decision to refuse vaccines as more important than another’s decision to protect their own children from contagious, vaccine-preventable diseases”.

Respecting international sovereignty is quite the opposite of β€œappeasement .” What, you’re siding with all the brutal regimes we didn’t invade?

This image is a satirical internet meme featuring retro-style artwork of a white conservative Christian family looking upward toward a fiery sky, expressing a desire for the "Rapture."
The top text proclaims, "WE BURNT IT ALL DOWN FOR YOU!"
The bottom text pleads, "PLEASE RAPTURE US!"
