Yeah so don't go on a cruise ever again if you were thinking about it.
The CDC's cruise ship inspectors have been laid off, as well as agency's head epidemiologist for investigating cruise ship outbreaks
That baffled health officials since this program is paid for by cruise ship fees, not taxpayer dollars

This is more upsetting because we brought back some of the bees, and now they're all dead. 😫
Holy shit 80% of the world’s bee population died in the last EIGHT months
Millions of bees have died this year. It's "the worst bee loss in recorded history," one beekeeper says.
Bees play a key role in the U.S. food supply, and the mass deaths could jeopardize that.

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

RIP President Carter.
I join the nation in mourning the loss of President Jimmy Carter. His lifelong dedication to public service, from the U.S. Navy to the White House to Habitat for Humanity to the Carter Center, was the outward manifestation of his kind, committed and honorable soul.

I refuse to participate in the self-loathing currently on display within the Democratic Party. This is especially so for those who have been around for decades as leaders and insiders and are now trying to sell the idea that the party needs to "rebuild". You shouldn't get to break it and fix it too.

This is crucial if this platform is going to survive and thrive.
One thing I hope we can do as Bluesky gets larger is be less tolerant of the resistance grifters who will try to hack the platform for engagement and growth without any interest in adding anything substantive or meaningful
It’s a different kind of troll.

Max Fried rejects qualifying offer. If he signs elsewhere — seems likely — the Braves will get a compensatory draft pick.

Max Fried declines the qualifying offer extended by Braves
The process was a formality. The Braves always were going to extend the qualifying offer to Fried, and the left-hander certainly was going to decline it.

Well okay, I signed up! I imagine I am like a lot of others who are seeking another path forward but not on Twitter (X). There is a noticeable drop in temperature on this platform and it is quite welcomed. I hope more people decide they want to interact with others in a much healthier environment.
