When the Beatles Refused to Play Before Segregated Audiences on Their First U.S. Tour (1964)
I've been feeling rather rotten for leaving so many of my favorite books off the #7books list above. #7MoreBooks are in order. Because I can and no one can stop me.
1. Ficciones by Broges (and anything by him, really)
2. Pride and Prejudice (and anything else by Austen)
3. Farewell, My Lovely by Raymond Chandler
4. The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton
5. As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner
6. My Man Jeeves (and all other Jeeves books) by P.G. Wodehouse
7. Of Human Bondage by Somerset Maugham
Well, now I feel I want to list 7 more but I think I'll stop here.
@AVindman Repugnant stuff. Great respect to you for standing up to Musk and his minions. I didn't think I could hate Musk more than I already did but seeing his attacks on you today and all the hordes of trolls he unleashed on you changed my mind.
Overwhelming evidence of outdoor transmission of Omicron by a man jogging through a park without a mask. Using surveillance videos, Chinese CDC investigators identified 256 people who passed within a meter of Patient zero as he jogged through the park without a mask. 13 (5%) were infected. He infected another 20 out of 20,496 park visitors beyond 1 meter. Nothing beats a surveillance state for contact tracing. https://covid.dropcite.com/articles/0bda88cc-8aaf-4de6-94f2-4bd23ee5c036

Covid Medical Journal of Aust Article: More Proof Covid is a Multi-System Cluster Bomb
IF further proof was needed that infection with SARS-CoV-2 has long-term sequelae for the human body, research led by Monash University has provided it, highlighting the need for GPs and other frontline physicians to be aware of their patients’ COVID-19 history.
The research, led by epidemiologist and PhD candidate Stacey Rowe, and coauthored by Victorian Chief Health Officer Professor Brett Sutton and renowned infectious disease epidemiologist Professor Allen Cheng, among others, is published by the MJA.

Every nation in the West has the same problem at the moment. We all have significant constraints on defence production, and limited short term capacity to expand. We will need to fix this if we are to continue supporting Ukraine, and deter China from a grave miscalculation in the western Pacific.

An excellent, and much needed, examination of air operations and ground based air defence in #Ukraine. Lots of lessons here for western air and ground forces, and for the development of modern, integrated air and missile defence systems. Thanks @Jack_Watling and @Justin_Br0nk

Scientists have finally achieved it. After years of painstaking research and lab experiments, mankind has finally created the purest, most concentrated, dumbest possible take.
