Major escalations in North Kivu in past 48 hours. Governor has been assassinated, peacekeepers killed.

Another paper that (under)estimated loss of life.
'In the central variant, life expectancy in the Gaza Strip decreased by 34·9 years during the first 12 months of the war, about half (–46·3%) the prewar level of 75·5 years.'

Life expectancy losses in the Gaza Strip during the period October, 2023, to September, 2024

Not sure. Bluesky is clearly a bit of a social media bubble. Moving needles is about interactions at intersections of society, not certain pockets.
I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat.
I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

No offense, Mark, but you have influence and power most of us don’t. Why don’t you speak up to those in DC you have connections with? Actions speak louder than words as you well know.

Cardiovascular disease mortality has declined in many countries over the past decades.
For example, US cardiovascular disease death rates have declined 4x since 1950.
