Malaria used to be endemic and not uncommon in the United States as far north as Chicago, before being eradicated by large-scale public health campaigns involving the draining of mosquito breeding sites and pesticide spraying.

This resurgence in Florida really wants to happen. The disease and the insect vector are both happy here, and I really wish people appreciated the scale of government involvement required to keep Malaria out.

"you should federate with meta because activitypub is all about openness" is just "why doesn't the so-called tolerant left tolerate my bigotry" for computers

If you've ever wanted to experience the visceral horror of being abruptly awakened in the middle of the night by a small person who proceeds to pull out their own tooth in front of you and then cheerfully dribble mouth-blood as they speculate on how many Robux their tooth is worth, then parenthood might be right for you.

Z nowości: fundacja @ftdl w osobie @piotrsikora mocno zaangażowała się w pomoc dla projektu @kbin prowadzonego przez @ernest, który musiał błyskawicznie przyjąć sporo osób z migracji #reddit. Serwery już udźwignęły ruch, więcej info tutaj:

For better or worse (obviously I hope better) it's stuff like this that has kept me doing my reasonable, careful little journalism guy schtick however angry or sick of it all I feel sometimes.

My neighbors are watching Avatar: The Way of Water loud enough for me to recognize it through the open window and I’m just happy that they’re living their best life

Chyba dziś wieczorem sporo par będzie miało trudną rozmowę...

People think ‘cis’ is a slur because that's how they think about and use ‘trans‘, as a slur.

Scientists are struggling to find a replacement for the term "cis" to avoid being kicked off Twitter. Chemists are weeping.

So here's what makes me nervous about the Fediverse: Over the weekend, two admins had a disagreement & defederated their servers. They then resolved their differences and refederated.

Only problem is, all follows across those two servers were broken and people now need to recreate them manually. And depending on whether or not they were following the drama, they may not even know why it happened.

This is, in a word, bad. It puts a burden on users for something that was out of their control.

I’ve had this Jenks & Cattell stainless steel hand fork for 40 years and it’s as good as ever, except that the wooden handle has pretty much had it. The rectangular-section shank is of a piece with the working end and the cap is copper by the look of it. Any thoughts on ways to repair or replace the handle that don’t involve gaffer-tape?
