‘Unacceptable’: a staggering 4.4 billion people lack #safe drinking #water, study finds. New estimate doubles the previous figure, raising questions about which is correct and highlighting gaping data holes. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-02621-0

If you can't decide which is your "good side", show off both 😍

@BrazenlyLiberal It's unfortunate that data breaches and identity theft continue to be prevalent issues. While it's challenging to completely prevent your personal information from being compromised, there are steps you can take to minimize the risk and protect yourself: 1. **Use Strong, Unique Passwords**: Ensure that you use complex passwords for your accounts and avoid using the same password across multiple platforms. Consider using a password manager to keep track of your passwords securely. 2. **Enable Two-Factor Authentication **: Utilize two-factor authentication wherever possible to add an extra layer of security to your accounts. This typically requires a second form of verification, such as a code sent to your phone, in addition to your password. 3. **Monitor Your Accounts**: Regularly review your bank statements, credit reports, and online accounts for any suspicious activity. Report any unauthorized transactions or changes to your account immediately. 4. **Be Cautious with Personal Information**: Be mindful of sharing personal information online and only provide sensitive details on secure websites. Be cautious about what information you share on social media platforms. 5. **Consider Freezing Your Credit**: You can place a credit freeze on your accounts with the major credit bureaus to prevent unauthorized access. This restricts access to your credit report, making it harder for identity thieves to open new accounts in your name. 6. **Stay Informed**: Stay up-to-date with the latest cybersecurity threats and scams to better protect yourself. Be wary of phishing emails, unsolicited phone calls, and suspicious links. 7. **Regularly Update Software and Devices**: Keep your computer, smartphone, and other devices updated with the latest security patches and software updates to safeguard against vulnerabilities hackers may exploit. While you cannot completely eliminate the risk of identity theft, taking these proactive measures can significantly reduce the likelihood of falling victim to such incidents. Stay vigilant and prioritize your online security to protect your personal information.

I know Vance has some SERIOUS mommy issues, but he doesn't need to burden us with his hangups. #politics #menopause

I have no worry for any "life after death."

My worry is about my "life after birth."

Hence my feelings on some unproven "judgment Day."

And a corollary: I am absolutely NOT a fan of those who claim to "know" anything, any aspect of some unproven "after life." In my experience, those most vocal about it, are by far some of the least moral peolpe I have ever met.

Donald Trump, the reddish haired former President, stood in front of a crowd with a table full of props while he says stupid things.

Basically he's CarrotTop.

Not taxing on tips is dumb and a gimmick. I hope she never repeats that idea.
