Which is why moderate Dems are turning Republican—because it is “stupid.” It’s madness, really. Radical leftists started this insanity. The right-wing, right-of-centre, and left-of-centre join together to try and stop the “stupid” and then people like you gaslight by saying the whole thing is stupid. Who started it, Tim? Who’s trying to bring sanity back? It isn’t the Democrats under Harris. It is madness and evil to keep parents uninformed, to drive a wedge between parent and child, to threaten or use government to separate parent from child because a parent won’t call his daughter a boy. It isn’t “stupid” for parents to advocate against this. You’re quibbling around the periphery around timeframes to avoid the meat of the situation, and then gaslighting.

Bird flu case in Missouri. This one is notable because unlike all the other reported human cases, this person did not have any known contact with an infected animal. https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/4867374-cdc-bird-flu-missouri-case-no-animal-contact/

I think the probabilities put it at 1 in 10 chance. I love the long shot

Bring on those COLD northerlies. Time to stow the boat and batten down the hatches.

Sounds pretty terrifying!
