I can see how vaccine + 30% die would jump out, but smallpox itself had a 30% mortality rate which is what I’d assume this is referring to.

Huh, TIL, I was convinced there was a missing entry (Blind Guardian - Barbara Ann) and learned that the Beach Boys covered Barbara Ann, it was originally performed by The Regents.

I do, but not much these days. I’ve got kids and a career with meh work life balance. Sleep, exercise, and hobbies all compete for the remainder.

On a good weekend I can get a couple of hours in though.

Despite the useless headline, it’s depressingly the same as it ever was:

47% of U.S. adults disapprove of of deploying the Marines to LA, with 34% approval.

45% disapprove the National Guard deployment, while 38% said they approve.

An equal share — 45% — also disapprove of the protests against ICE, per Monday YouGov polling.

36% said they approve of the protests, and 19% said they are not sure.

His core of 30 something percent approve whatever the hell it is he is doing and not enough people disapprove.

As an American who has watched this episode it made me confused, angry, and hungry.

(Of course it didn’t, it’s Bluey and it’s a good episode.)
