#Measles #outbreaks spark #concern over rare 'horrific' #neurological {SSPM: subacute sclerosing panencephalitis} disorder https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/measles-complications-1.7508645?cmp=rss

As measles outbreaks in Canada grow and spread between provinces, pediatricians are again recommending vaccinations while also bracing for serious complications, including a rare, long-term neurological disorder that can emerge six to 10 years after an initial measles infection.

The avian flu virus is considered a pathogen with pandemic potential. #H5N1 has been rampant among dairy #cows in the #US for almost a year. Virologist #Drosten also warns that livestock should be kept in mind as potential vectors. But now, of all times, the Trump administration is attacking science.

My cousin in Scotland sent me this today. A friends daughter in the US wrote it, and the mom is (rightly) scared for fer her daughter. It's a window into how some American's present themselves to family who don't live here. I had to make two posts.

"Trumps policies regarding abortion, are not what a lot of people think. He’s just not allowing it to be used as an everyday contraceptive. Abortion is fully allowed if it was the cause of rape, if the pregnancy poses a risk to baby or mother etc. But is putting a stand on irresponsible use of the procedure. It will make people double think about being so reckless. Also regarding the boarders, he’s shutting them. Exactly what needed to be done years ago.

He’s taking a no tolerance approach to any form of trafficking and anyone seen to be committing this crime will be killed. I don’t watch the news as we all know that’s an orchestrated narrative that keeps the people asleep.

There's a type of reply-guy that crawls out of the woodwork when I post anything that might inspire others to take action, and they're deceptively insidious.

Regardless of the topic, they sound like this:

Alice: I don't own a gun because they're for killing and I'm not a fan of killing.
Bob: Then only the bad guys will have guns.

Alice: I deleted my Facebook account.
Bob: If the good people leave then the bad guys win.

Alice: I'm openly queer so others know they're not alone.
Bob: You'll make yourself a target.

In every instance, they defend the shitty state of things by discouraging action and change. It's a reply that is designed to support the default, the current power structure. It's a type of reply meant to de-fang movements.

I've posted about this before, but apparently it bears repeating. Fighting for something takes energy. Change takes sustained energy and momentum. These types of interactions sap energy. They're not posting anything openly disagreeable, they're just dropping little doubt caltrops, little concern anchors—making it harder to keep fighting, harder to gain momentum.

If you're about to jump into a thread and concern troll, don't. I'm fucking sick of it. The rest of us don't have the time or energy to drag your dead weight along.

Here's the next core concept video in the series on Max Scheler's short work Ressentiment. This one looks at the connection that Scheler thinks exists between the dynamic of ressentiment and the modern notion of "altruism".

Okay… okay… what is happening? How did I just take out the second Dark Souls 3 boss first try? Iudex Gundyr and Vordt first try. This isn’t a brag, (I am very honest about my lack of skill) I’m genuinely concerned I’m being lulled into a false sense of security here.

He’s easy right? The next boss is going to pulverise me, yeah?
