Douglas Adams should have been 74 today. Let's all keep faith that he would have been a lovely old fella, immune to the fascist propaganda which has wholly ensnared so very many of his friends and contemporaries.

Patients say measles 'worse than expected' as Utah hits 350+ infections, doctors say Health officials plead with residents to vaccinate against measles as Utah hits 358 infections.

I will never get over how the result of going through a global pandemic that killed over 7 million people, including 1.2 million Americansβ€”and where we swiftly created an effective vaccine for itβ€”was massive growth in anti-vax sentiment, the rise of RFK Jr., and the return of fucking measles.

Anyone who wants Britain to join the war in Iran needs their head examined They don't know what they want to achieve, why they're doing it or what the consequences might be. They are lost in the void.

I get asked to show up to book clubs, online and offline. Here is why from now on the answer is always "no." If you think this might have something to do with "AI" ruining yet another thing for everyone, you're absolutely 100% correct.

This thread makes an interesting and I think important point (especially for the various copyright cases Suno is involved with).

But I do think it shows Gong fundamentally fails to understand music as any real fan would: it’s about connection. Where were you when a song played, who with, etc.

The UK was declared measles free in 2017.

Vaccine programs completely eliminated it.
