the state of medical care in some states ☠️🤯🆘
The family was “reluctant” to go forward with the surgery in Florida, but they were eventually persuaded
doctors convinced the family that Bryan “could experience serious complications if he left the hospital".
During the operation on Aug. 21, Shaknovsky removed Bryan’s liver instead of his spleen,
When an autopsy was conducted on Bryan’s body, his spleen was still in his abdomen and his liver was gone.

@Agatha yeah I've seen the super-woowoo "van-life" walking bags of nepotism saying it their travel vlogs. it still yucks wicked hard 😂
@holon42 I have found these bird feeders to be squirrel-proof.
Brome Squirrel Busters
I have three. This year, I want to get the suet feeder.
i just watched the engineer take a look at the new challenge. after fighting it for awhile
he tried going under the cone by reaching upside down while hanging onto the suet holder with his hind feet
i assume
because i saw the underside of his chin emerge beyond the cone
just before he fell off when trying to reach the feeder with his front paws.
i may have to lower the cone a couple inches to make that move impossible to accomplish.
they should make these cones transparent 🤣🤣🤣
here's some photos of the cone and what i've had to come up with to try to keep the engineer unit from dismantling it.
it's been through numerous incarnations and so far he's found ways to bring it down.
the closeup shows the vulnerable plastic holders, hard plastic
but not hard enough 😱
so, we'll see if this suet holder keeps the teeth at bay🤣
opossums, like squirrels, are masters of practical physics. i had to move a pole holding a windmill that one smarty pants was using as a launcher to fly to the feeder that's protected by a no go cone.
i'm telling you.
there's also an engineer who keeps finding ways to dismantle the clamp holding the cone. i finally put one of those metal wire suet holders around it, tightly hooked.
we're gonna see how he deals with that 🤣

Jeff Bezos killed Washington Post endorsement of Kamala Harris, paper reports
"We are already seeing cancellations from once loyal readers," the Guild said. "This decision undercuts the work of our members at a time when we should be building our readers' trust, not losing it."
In case anyone needs it
just put in your zip and it'll tell you about each thing on the ballot
PSA
Out on X, people are really pissed about these papers who won't endorse bc pressure from Trump.
Because this is exactly what Timothy Snyder meant by "do not obey in advanced"
When I read this in 2016, I had difficulty understanding the full meaning or specific examples behind this, until re-reading it again today.
the manosphere👀
have you heard this term?
here's a CBC talk on how the pressure to conform to this obsession is harmful.
"University of Alberta professor, author and misinformation debunker Timothy Caulfield takes a deep dive into the manosphere in his new documentary Harder Better Faster Stronger."
233 Mental Health Professionals Spell Out Dangers Of Donald Trump In Chilling Letter
"We have a duty to warn the public about the grave danger posed by returning this man to power.
The signed have an ethical duty to warn the public that Donald Trump is an existential threat to democracy,they write. His symptoms of severe, untreatable personality disorder -malignant narcissism- makes him deceitful, destructive, deluded, and dangerous. He is grossly unfit for leadership.

AI and the law🙄🫨🤯
Google’s NotebookLM to create an Artificial Intelligence (AI) generated podcast featuring two fake hosts.
they mispronounced Seamus Hughes’ name.
AI podcast hosts have very strong feelings about Rudy Giuliani keeping his World Series rings,
worried about the fairness of paying for losing a defamation lawsuit with the rings given that they “represent his connections to New York after 9/11.”
rings are from the 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2000 titles🙄

@holon42 Not the best pic - maybe as the flat black is meant to absorb light. Air comes in Top left two 6"vents board separating middle sect has 1" holes in it -1 inside each V one between each V - Bottom board same - bottom has no middle separation so air goes across to right side and up. thru more V heat exchangers and out the 2 6" vents. Flex ducting attached to those openings and to a board that fits in a window open 7 1/7 inches edges weather stripped so no drafts - <cont>
