I don't know what my purpose is here. Trying to make the best out of life's shitty situations. On this road of life, there are no lanes. My posts will float through the bluesky.

The U.S. confirms its first human case of New World screwworm. What is it?
U.S. officials confirmed a case of the flesh-eating parasite in a person who traveled from El Salvador. Screwworm typically affects cattle in South America but has spread north in recent years.

I post mostly to vent about the sad state of affairs, but I should also post other things. I've gotten into the hobby of obscure media, & this should make @ghostofgroucho.bsky.social happy. A VHS copy (I bought sealed) of Gabe Kaplan's live show on the life of Groucho Marx from the HBO presentation.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

Musk is attempting to blame Ukraine for the X cyberattack, but word has already spread that it was a false flag. What is a false flag? A false flag operation is an act committed to disguise the actual source of responsibility and shift blame onto another party.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

In order to protect children who go to school in the United States, we should give all students in schools the title of CEO. Sure it'll mean Classroom Education Operator or something, but maybe being designated a CEO will make lawmakers give a shit about them finally. /snark and sarcasm
