Weekend plans? Come hangout in Ypsi this Saturday from 2-6 pm!

This event highlights the beautiful area that the regents of U of M and Los Alamos Labs (the creators of the atomic bomb) are angling to build an AI data center, despite the community being opposed to the plan.

My original piece for @thesicktimes.bsky.social is here. This was exciting to write since @betsyladyzhets.bsky.social made the wonderful suggestion that I organize a survey. It's always great to talk and think through something at length that I've been mulling!

COVID-19 levels remain high in the U.S. as our longer-than-usual winter surge continues. We’re also seeing a record-high seasonal flu season, as concerns about the bird flu H5N1 continue to grow. bit.ly/40YZ4QS
ID: An orange background and a meter indicating moderate to high national wastewater levels of SARS-CoV-2. The graphic reads: “THE SICK TIMES: This Week’s COVID-19 Trends Update. COVID-19 levels remain high in the U.S. as our longer-than-usual winter surge continues. While disease spread is decreasing in some regions, that decline is offset by increases and plateaus in other parts of the country. We’re also seeing a record-high seasonal flu season, as concerns about the bird flu H5N1 continue to grow. Experts remain really concerned about the risk of seasonal and bird flu strains mixing, particularly as news comes out that 1) another bird flu strain has jumped to cows and 2) house cats can pass the virus from birds to people.”
