The year is 2382. All physical and digital media was lost in a great cataclysm that humanity has gradually rebuilt itself from. The village gathers for festivities and drinks. A travelling musician plays a song passed down in folk tradition for centuries. It is called the YMCA. Everyone joins in

Sen. Jack Reed: "This is really outrageous. Mark Kelly is a veteran, he's fought in combat, he's an astronaut. And even was simply repeated what the law is. If a US senator can't do that, then this country is in profound difficulty."

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.
Praying for his full & speedy recovery.

Yes, to be clear: with measles, there's a heterogeneous range of combinations of outcomes — but the idea that you can sustain an illness, recover, then have it kill you years later more or less without warning is fairly astonishing considering very powerful people are calling for "natural immunity"
One thing I have to stress here that folks also don't get.
Diseases like the ones we vaccinate against? That shit isn't just "oh, you recover or you die." It's just "you don't die." For a lot of them, you just plain never recover. Ever. There's always lingering scars that are debilitating.

It's very clear people don't realize how terrifying measles is, or this would be front page news. Measles is absolutely brutal. Earlier this year a child died in years after recovering from the virus. Others experience vision and hearing loss, or have seizures.

Trump on Americans' healthcare costs going up by 200-300%: "Don't make it sound so bad"
Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

Indiana Republicans just shut down Trump’s attempt to force new maps, a rare sign his pressure is losing its punch. The U.S. seized a tanker tied to covert oil shipments off the coast of Venezuela. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia is finally home after a judge ordered him released from ICE detention.

"Tincher has marks on her neck and wrist from where agents restrained her. Agents cut off her wedding ring and held her in leg shackles at Whipple Federal Building for about five hours, where she saw about seven other detainees."
Susan Tincher, a 55-year-old American citizen, said agents told her in the truck that if she didn’t watch herself “they were going to pull me over to the side of the road and give me this OC,” law enforcement shorthand for pepper spray.
