Measles is making a comback partly due to lack of vaccination, not sure if that has anything to do with brexit but the fact people just believe all the nonsense they see on social media.
If Israel is blocking aid convoys, which include medicine and food, how are Hamas meant to feed the hostages. One of the reasoning for blocking aid was to stop it falling in to the hands of Hamas, which I can understand, but that seems to put hostages at risk too.
Has Nikky Haley changed her view on the US Civil War? as I got one impression she said it was not about slavery
Well we did have page 3 of the sun and the odd "magazine"
In terms of health / growing up context not sure.

«A deadly outbreak of #psittacosis, bacterial infection also known as parrot fever, has affected people living in several #European countries, the #WHO said Tuesday.
Humans commonly catch parrot fever by breathing in the dust from an infected bird’s secretions, according to the #CDC. People can also get sick if a bird bites them or through beak-to-mouth contact. The disease is not spread through eating infected animals.
Human-to-human transmission is possible but rare»

Death, Corpse, Decomposition Research
I saw something like this a few years ago, looking at how bodies decompose. Seems macabre but also interesting science at the same time,

Four years after the box arrived in my office, I have done the unthinkable.
I plugged in my work phone.
A deeply unfortunate series of events has seen me in charge of an event on Friday for which an emergency contact number is indeed required.
Colleague: Did you leave it in the box because you thought the phone would not work? 🤔
Me: It was because I thought it would 😐

For all the useful idiots suggesting that voting for Biden is morally indefensible because of his stance on Gaza, I present the former guy's stance on Gaza. Trump said he's 100% in favor of Israel's bombing campaign, concluding:
"You have to finish the problem."
Did you get that? Do you see that? He's saying Israel should pursue a final solution of the Palestinian problem by means of genocide.
THAT IS NAZI TALK. Trump is the actual peddler of genocide. Not Biden.

Knowing someone is alive
because they are telling you who is now dead.
Knowing that the only way to leave
Costs tens of thousands.
Knowing there are no safe or legal routes to the UK.
Knowing there is more than a plausible risk of genocide.

It's high time we redefined "exploration:". It should NOT be about being big - drawing a map of something named after your sponsor, planting a flag, being "first". It should be about being small: sitting inside a system/place and learning how it works with humility, looking at the way *it* does things, not at what *we* see most easily or want to see. A map is not the end goal of exploration. It's just the tool that tells you where the starting point could be.
Interesting article, thank you. I was thinking the same thing when it comes to taking out satellites, that you also risk damaging your own satellites too.
