“One of the alleged co-conspirators, John Eastman, is determined to stay busy before he returns to his disbarment proceedings in a Los Angeles courtroom later this month. Earlier this week, Eastman filed a lawsuit on behalf of the Colorado Republican Party to ban unaffiliated voters from the 2024 Republican primary in Colorado. The state holds open primaries and 47% of Colorado voters are not registered with a party.”

I cannot stop listening and watching. It is in my head when I wake up. Every detail is on point and also it is genuinely a banger.

So it's #BandcampFriday and I've got a new single! "21st Century Update" is a song nearly half a decade old that I never released. I re-recorded it with better production, and now it's a pretty fun song!

🇷🇺 🇩🇪 Leaked communications between Vladimir Sergienko, a naturalized #German citizen, and “Alexei,” a suspected #FSB operative, show the extent of Russia’s infiltration of the Alternative for #Germany party. Their “active measures” included a plan to stop or slow delivery of German main battle tanks to #Ukraine using frivolous litigation against the German government. It would only cost $93,000.

📌 Beyfortus is a monoclonal antibody with activity against #RSV. Monoclonal antibodies are laboratory-made proteins that mimic the immune system’s ability to fight off harmful pathogens such as viruses. One dose of Beyfortus, administered as a single intramuscular injection prior to or during RSV season, may provide protection during the RSV season.

#3DPrinting folks: Anyone interested in the idea of a #Fediverse model hosting site (like Thingiverse, etc)?

- The Walgreen's COVID positive rate has never been higher throughout the entire pandemic (although this is based on low test volume). https://www.walgreens.com/healthcare-solutions/covid-19-index
- The CDC's test positivity rate is based on a much larger sample. It has doubled in just two weeks and is still rising. If the current trend continues, we'll have the highest positive rate since last July within ten days. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_select_testpositivity_00

- The CDC wastewater monitoring shows we're at the highest level of sustained growth since last December. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#wastewater-surveillance
- Biobot demonstrates continued growth of COVID in wastewater with acceleration particularly pronounced in the West and Midwest (which are catching up to the higher COVID levels in the South and Northeast). Rates are still relatively low, but they are continuing to rise. https://biobot.io/data/

let greeting_file1 = match greeting_file_result1 {
Ok(file) => file,

"Imagine a scene of a human and an AI in conflict, their struggle symbolizing the broader tension between technology and humanity. The medium is a hyper-realistic photograph, with a style that captures the stark reality of this conflict. The lighting is harsh and unforgiving, illuminating the determined expression of the human and the unfeeling gaze of the AI. "
