  “Bordeaux has turned a giant exhibition centre into an emergency shelter for evacuees, providing camp beds and food …” sounds like New Orleans circa 2005?

  One of the more ridiculous attempts to destroy US public health and Americans’ faith in the science of epidemiology is Rand Paul’s continued insistence on the unscientific Wuhan lab theory of Covid origin. It’s rascist, seeks to impede international scientific research, questions airborne transmission of the disease, and reduces obvious public health measures such as increasing ventilation, isolation and mask wearing. #AnthonyFauci #publichealth #3milliondead #COVID19 https://apnews.com/articl...

Urban raccoons’ downside and kid friendly solution to flea infestation promoted. Especially responsible is the pesticide free regulation. #Fairfax #park #barrierstrategies

  This outcome is the most fair resolution to combine both plans for universal school meals and food assistance when school is out. Thanks to the mayor and council for prioritizing compassion and respect: as seen in some comments, this model of governance will stay with all our SPS students. #universalschoolmeals #school #foodassistance #Seattle #SeattleCouncil #MayorKatieWilson https://www.seattletimes.com/education-lab/seattle-city-council-oks-nearly-5m-for-free-school-meals/#comments

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@MatWright/117006564580341152 This conversation. Just last week visiting BC we noticed labor shortages in key areas where overworked people had simply walked off the job. Of course we see this because it’s even more obvious here in US, in the post office, grocery stores, government, utilities and especially medical services. Reports have shown the first DT administration hid the loss of 3 million people to COVID, in medicine, food and government. Still faking it. #la...

  RE: https://mefi.social/@MissConstrue/116608793116776617 This is a rather interesting turn of events. After October 2023, I had wondered about this gas discovery when talk turned to the profiteering that could be realized by developing Gaza as a luxury resort. We were distracted. Was gas the real object of exploitation?

  RE: https://boitam.eu/@joachim/116511677853064728 This site is brilliant, well organized, thorough and engaging. I had thought sticky notes were the Great Leap Forward, but the organization matches the significance of the content. Highly recommended. @sidereal

  Arresting animal rights protestors and prosecuting them as “eco-terrorists” is one of the more sickening aspects of capitalism. In Wisconsin, Ridgland Farms beagle puppy mills are cruel: workers pull out their vocal chords because the dogs are caged, frightened and barking. They are likely to be culled since no labs want to purchase them. Local activists want to place the beagles in adoption. #Wisconsin #animalrights #notestingonanimals https://www.democracynow.org/2026/4/21/ridglan_farms_anim...

  Thoughtful. The insistence of western powers on an eastern Mediterranean colony ruled by Likkud and the right appears to reflect early 20th C imperial fantasies and disrespect for human rights of the people living there, even including Immigrants lured from difficult and discouraging western countries. It’s time to revive the priorities of human rights protections in world diplomacy. #Lebanon #Shia #Israel #Palestine #USA #BritishEmpire https://open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/israel-latest-genoc...

  RE: https://mastodon.green/@gerrymcgovern/116340249523010018 I don't understand how the debate over Chaco Canyon sovereignty now becomes a justification for releasing the land to the deities of capitalism and industrial resource extraction. I've visited there, and it's clearly an important heritage site. #ChacoCanyon #NewMexico #OakFlat

  RE: https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/@steter/116195771725255862 Well, duh! As I mentioned last week, fearful leader was distracted, busy trying to get into Studio 54 (the nightclub, not the film) during the Iran-Iraq war. One reason he’s so death to drugs is they were the price of admission to the club.

  War profiteering points to lucrative investment opportunities. Capitalists: adjust your portfolios accordingly. #warisprofitable #ultimatecapitalism #boeing #RTX #NorthrupGrumman https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/9/which-us-and-israeli-military-companies-are-profiting-from-the-iran-war

  Incredible reporting on Democracy Now today. Lawrence Wilkerson and Kareem Shaheen journalist, plus Antonia Juhasz who reports on fossil fuel industry (I saw her years ago in Tacoma) and discusses the toxic war DT launched on Iran.

  Mystal: I feel like Anthropic just trying to keep plausible deniability for when, inevitably, its system is used in the most obviously egregious way. When Claude kills the “wrong” person (or, more likely, village full of people) the lawsuit [not only] at the US government; it will be company-wrecking litigation against Anthropic as well. I bet all of Claude’s venture capital funding the government will blame violent mishaps on Anthropic; not guys drunkenly running DOD.” https://www.thenation.co...

  Attended a very entertaining concert of Seattle Symphony this evening. The orchestra played with thoughtful energy and humor under the baton of Kevin John Edusei who returned to conduct a program celebrating the flamboyance and wit of two great Hungarian composers Kodaly and Liszt. Guest soloist Haochen Zhang performed Liszt’s high-spirited First Piano Concerto. Program completed with Richard Strauss, Til Eulenspiegel. Recommended. https://www.seattlesymphony.org/en/concerttickets/calendar/2025...

  I’m a fan of our Mayor Katie Wilson, and this sample of her talk to the corporate community is delicious. And Erica Barnett is at her best with some sneaky commentary, as her occupatio review of Abndance. Keynote speaker was coauthor Thompson. #Seattle #MayorKatieWilson #Abundance https://open.substack.com/pub/ericacbarnett/p/mayor-wilson-defies-convention-at?r=ct3l&utm_medium=ios
