Ohio requires buses for private school kids. Public school students have to find their own ride…
For about 2,000 students attending high school in Dayton, Ohio, there won’t be a bus in sight when they walk out the door for the beginning of the school year this week.
There seems to be an aggressive approach to the most vulnerable families and people in America…
The situation came to a tragic head on the morning of 4 April when 18-year-old Alfred Hale III was shot dead at the public bus hub in downtown Dayton while en route to class at Dunbar high school. Shortly after Hale’s killing, Ohio lawmakers introduced a law making it illegal for Dayton public schools (DPS) to buy public bus vouchers for students.
Good lord this the is dumbest fucking thing. I mean... after the initial law they passed to make this half-assed remedy necessary.
"Oh, it looks like there is an infection on that toe! Well, antibiotics are complicated so our committee has decided to just amputate your leg."
Riding the city bus is too dangerous so we’re gonna have kids hitchhike into school…
Btw, Ohio is not alone…
Antiviral superpower for humans?
For a few dozen people in the world, the downside of living with a rare immune condition comes with a surprising superpower—the ability to fight off all viruses.
Columbia immunologist Dusan Bogunovic discovered the individuals’ antiviral powers about 15 years ago, soon after he identified the genetic mutation that causes the condition.
In his latest study, published Aug. 13 in Science Translational Medicine, Bogunovic and his team report that an experimental therapy they’ve developed temporarily gives recipients (hamsters and mice, so far) the same antiviral superpower as people with ISG15 deficiency. When administered prophylactically into the animals' lungs via a nasal drip, the therapy prevented viral replication of influenza and SARS-CoV-2 viruses and lessened disease severity.
In cell culture, “we have yet to find a virus that can break through the therapy’s defenses,” Bogunovic says.
Frankly this seems unbelievable… If it can do what they are promises it would have to be the greatest medical advance in Human History…

Meanwhile, new evidence that use of acetaminophen (Tylenol or paracetamol) during pregnancy may be linked to increased risk of autism and ADHD in offspring, from study of more than 100,000. It is the most common over-the-counter pain and fever medication used by more than half of pregnant women worldwide… Yeah…

Can’t pay, won’t pay: impoverished streaming services are driving viewers back to piracy…
I think the forcing of Ads on viewers was a big part of it. We are already paying, so why soups were have ads on top? Even introducing an ad tier at what used to be a starter price is insulting…
Meanwhile, porn site traffic plummets as UK age verification rules enforced…Coincidentally VPN usage in the UK has significantly increased in the same time period… I'm getting p'd off having to verify my age on sites that don't even go anywhere near 'porn'…
New York man charged with cyberstalking a family member of killed UnitedHealthcare CEO…
Hm, interesting. When an average citizen reports threatening behavior and irl stalking, the police are 'unable to do anything because they haven't done anything harmful or illegal.' Typically this goes on until someone is raped or murdered.
I wonder what the difference is in this case…
He vowed to 'protect' kids from LGBTQ+ people, now he was arrested for child pornography…
The only thing that's surprising about this is that he stepped down instead of denying it and trying to scapegoat it away.
Meanwhile, ‘sex reversal’ is surprisingly common in birds… I’m not surprised…
The Max Headroom Incident…
In 1987 someone interrupted the broadcast of a television station in Chicago. The first interruption was during the news, the second was during a showing of Dr. Who. What was broadcast was exceedingly mysterious, a touch scary, and has never been resolved.
I find it actually hilarious… Wish I could shake the hand(s) of whoever was involved, because its a epic prank!
Pilot fights against gusts of wind: wing scrapes runway…
Typhoon Podul hit Taiwan on Wednesday with winds of around 178 km/h. The pilot of a Boeing 747-8F also struggled with the strong winds. He only managed to land at Taipei Airport on his third attempt, and not without incident. Fortunately, no one was injured. Over 8,000 people had to be evacuated due to the typhoon, and dozens were injured.
Really, really bad…
Everybody knows it’s not about Trump, it’s about protecting an individual known as Scott Borgerson, a former Pentagon officer whose also on a marriage certificate with Ghislaine Maxwell. He’s where the plot thickens and it leads to Autonomous ship barges transporting children with no birth certificates and a mircrostate called Terramar in Antarctica that was in the process of being recognised by the United Nations before things fell apart. The world is not ready👁️…

Odd behavior by that dog, perhaps there was a rat in among the veggies?
Yes, there is a lot to the Epstein story, some info https://sonar21.com/almost-1-billion-is-not-a-hoax/
On the waming nonsense, they have placed monitoring devices in spots that get extremely high heat intentionally such as beside and on runways. I ignore all "climate science" at this point.
As always, grea posts! Thank you! Best wishes for a lovely weekend!
It's unfortunate that Europeans are behind when it comes to air conditioning. Now they have to fight the climate change agenda to get any relief. Sure glad we have air conditioning in most of the US.
Also I had not heard about TerraMar before. What a rabbit hole, thanks for sharing that Manuel!
