Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

People who are scared and hateful are not part of our future, and soon, will not be part of our present, as they are left behind.

Pay them no mind and enjoy being part of humanity as we progress; not always linear, and with setbacks along the way, but progress can't be stopped.

A tiny decluttering story:

Going through old photos from trips to Australia, looking for one to post here, I found a half dozen or so which were photos of my ex. (We've been divorced for ages now.)

The photos are now in the trash. I have great memories of Australia, but not of him. I have photos of me with koalas; I don't need photos of him with koalas.

Vaguely recall how Biden admin emails to Twitter were the biggest attack on free speech ever. There was a whole twitter files thing about that. Curious where are Elon, Taibbi, Bari and crew on this?

Les Nessman, still the only five-time winner of the Buckeye Newshawk Award.

This rant brought to you by the spam accounts and bigoted trolls I suspended his morning, and the reply guys and death threats I've received since posting it.

Edited for inclusivity.

I hope everyone has had a lovely #ValentinesDay #Caturday
