Alligator overload.
"There have been 80 confirmed cases of the polio-like illness known as AFM in 25 states this year as of Friday, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday… In addition, there are 219 cases under investigation."
"Every year, nearly 34,000 cases of cancer in the US can be attributed to HPV, the human papillomavirus . The CDC estimates that vaccination could prevent around 93 percent of those cancers. Yet HPV vaccination rates are abysmal: only half of the teenagers in the US were fully vaccinated in 2017." How the US's neuroticism about sex kills. But the good news is more kids are using protection.
"A 94-year-old former enlisted SS man went on trial Tuesday in Germany, charged with being an accessory to murder for crimes committed during the years he served as a guard at the Nazis' Stutthof concentration camp."
"Saudi Arabia's crown prince has launched a project to build the first nuclear research reactor in the kingdom, the Saudi Press Agency reported."
"Facebook announced late Monday the suspension of 115 accounts it believed to be engaged in 'coordinated inauthentic behavior' as top law enforcement officials warned that Russia may still try to interfere in U.S. elections." You know, shutting these accounts down is good. Waiting to shut them down until election is heinous fuckery.
"Fox News lightly criticized host Sean Hannity on Tuesday for campaigning for President Donald Trump after promising that the host would not do so." Yes, Sean, it was planned. Let's just drop the pretense, Fox News is the GOP propaganda wing. Straight up. It's only if you're still trying to keep the facade of "journalism" going that this would be a problem. Fox News has even snookered the conservative faithful, because they still think it's "news" and not, as Jon Stewart once called it, Bullshit Mountain. And Hitler also brought Goebbels on stage with him. If you work at Fox News and this is a problem for you, let me give you the advice Fox News has been giving the rest of us. Quit.
Dear Democrats, looking for something more than "infrastructure" to work hard on? "In the ballot measures that passed Tuesday, voters in at least three states took the power to determine political boundaries away from state legislatures, while a similar proposition in Utah was too close to call. Voter registration deadlines could become a thing of the past in three states that are making it easier to take part in elections." Here's a winning strategy. Conservatives will flog you with claims of "illegal voting" and other bullshit. You need to have your facts ready and fight back and label conservatives as those who want to disenfranchise voters and suppress minority, lower income, older voters, and women's votes.
