The Day the US removes one dictator at gunpoint (Venezuela) but continues to suck up to a far greater threat.

Yes, CSAM is illegal, and X should be charged with distribution of it for NOT having sufficient safeguards in place beforehand, to PREVENT it. Enough of this "Oops, sorry, my bad" shit resulting in a slap on the hand. If a social media uses AI and it malfunctions, they should be held responsible.

In a LONG overdue move, NHS in the #UK are finally adding the Chickenpox #vaccine to their immunization schedule and it's free! The vax was available for decades, but citizens had to PAY for it out of pocket. This can help greatly reduce cases of #Shingles later in life for millions of citizens. 🥰
Ignore the sceptics: with this new vaccine, chickenpox could become a thing of the past | Wes Streeting
Thousands develop serious complications from the varicella virus. Today the NHS rolls out a new jab, alongside measles, mumps and rubella, says health secretary Wes Streeting

Denmark is proposing a law that allows you "full copyright" of your image, voice, etc. This is a policy that should have been enacted 10 years ago.

"The stories that are haunting me the most, though, are the preventable deaths of unvaccinated infants and children. In 2025, we witnessed the first two measles deaths of unvaccinated children in a decade in the United States."
