Not one fucking word from any quoted health expert on cleaning classroom air.
Yes, talk about vaccines, ofc that's important.
But there's something else we could talk about here: a measure that protects everyone but doesn't trigger endless debates on the choice to vaccinate.

New article from me about the Marshall Islands becoming the first country with a Universal Basic Income, what the details are, how it came to be, and what may come next.
Side note: It's hard to express how big a deal this is, especially for me personally. I hope this is the first of many dominoes.

The Marshall Islands Just Quietly Implemented the First National Universal Basic Income (UBI)
How the Marshall Islands built the first nationwide universal basic income, funded by a US-capitalized Compact Trust Fund, and what it means for UBI everywhere.

My laptop's USB-C PD charger died. I am awaiting delivery of a new one. In the meantime it's happily running through a small inverter attached to a snowblower battery But snow is in the forecast. I may have to switch to the hedge trimmer.

It's not like we were born with an innate understanding of N95 masks and airborne transmission. Many of us put in the intellectual effort to understand it, starting in 2020. You don't need a medical degree to understand this stuff. It has been explained, and explained, and explained.

Reagan’s words about tariffs are going viral after Trump’s insistence that they are “fake” created a “Streisand Effect”
Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Of course police want warrantless access powers. Of course they want to violate privacy rights on a whim. That doesn't mean you need to give it to them. Make them get a warrant, like the Supreme Court of Canada has *twice* ruled.
