  1. turnip’s turd tonguers are manipulating Google results to instill fear in folks. An example is that news articles are being post dated, because ICE isn’t meeting their quota. ”Since the election of President Donald Trump — who ran on mass deportations of undocumented immigrants — immigrant communities have feared increased crackdowns by the new administration. A quick Google search for arrests by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) results in pages of press releases from the agency announcing arrests and raids. But many of those articles, Guardian tech reporter Dara Kerr found, were outdated. For example, an operation in Colorado happened in 2010, and arrests in Wisconsin happened in 2018. AlterNet found a press release about arrests in Idaho is from 2010 as well, but the date on the Google result says January 24, 2025. Indeed, the outdated press releases all had a note at the bottom of the page: “Updated: 01/24/2025.” There was a lot of noise online,” an immigration lawyer who noticed the pattern told the Guardian. “And it was creating terror in the community.” She remained anonymous out of fear of retaliation by the Trump administration. “Every article was updated on the 24th, which was causing the Google SEO to interpret that as a recently updated article, and therefore rank it higher,” a tech expert who also chose to remain anonymous said.“ https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/world/creating-terror-trump-administration-accused-of-manipulating-google-to-send-a-message/ar-AA1yxyAW
  2. Going off planet allows me some joy. ”Astronomers have discovered what may be the largest-scale structure in the known universe — a group of galaxy clusters and clusters of galaxy clusters that spans roughly 1.3 billion light-years across and contains a mind-boggling 200 quadrillion solar masses. The newfound structure is dubbed Quipu after an Incan system of counting and storing numbers using knots on cords. Like a Quipu cord, the structure is complex, made up of one long filament and multiple side filaments. It spans roughly 1.3 billion light-years (more than 13,000 times the length of the Milky Way), potentially making it the largest object in the universe in terms of length, beating out previous record-holders such as the Laniākea supercluster. https://www.livescience.com/space/astronomy/astronomers-discover-quipu-the-single-largest-structure-in-the-known-universe
  3. Economic pushback requires coordination. February 28th is the economic boycott day. One day, at first. Shop only at small, local businesses on the 28th. Also, fuck this year’s Super Bowl. I hope viewership tanks.
  4. Nevertheless, Don’t Leave Me Here
  5. It occurs to me, having seen the most recent footage of nazis in Cincinnati, that I’ve never heard a maggat complain about nazis wearing masks.
  6. Dang. Eight point zero, in the Caribbean, between Cuba and Honduras. The quake’s strength has been revised downwards. Now saying seven point six.
  7. Selling magats that the lasting peace is more threatening than the guy who invades neighboring countries. Bottomless pits for shit.
  8. A nation with the grace to send children to Gitmo. What a weird fucking ghoul.
  9. Google’s AI on the query: “research universities nih return on investment:” ”According to recent data, research universities receiving NIH funding often generate a significant return on investment, with estimates showing that for every dollar invested in NIH research, the economic activity generated can be upwards of $2.60, demonstrating a substantial positive impact on the economy through job creation and medical advancement”
  10. Six million. Where have I heard that number? Oh yeah, and in 66.6% of the time. ”More than six million people could die from HIV and AIDS in the next four years if U.S. President Donald Trump's administration pulls its global funding for programmes, the United Nations AIDS agency said on Friday, February 7, 2025.” https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/health/six-million-people-could-die-from-hiv-and-aids-if-us-funding-stops-un-agency-warns/article69195809.ece
  11. Rejoice, you scatmunchers.
  12. @KeysPhoneWallet was here to disagree with that statement. And he’d cry bloody murder if anyone suggested he was a racist for disagreeing.
  13. So on brand. Intellectual honesty is beyond the R shits. We see it here constantly. Some show this moral failing almost immediately. Others over time.
  14. The Georgia Department of Public Health is limiting the availability of several adult vaccines for uninsured patients at local health departments through at least January. The limits apply to most immunizations offered by county health agencies — shots that prevent pathogens like hepatitis A, human papillomavirus, and shingles. Childhood vaccinations are not affected by the change, nor are local supplies of Covid-19 and influenza vaccines, said Cobb and Douglas Public Health Deputy Director of Clinical Operations Lauren Cedor. Through local health agencies like Cobb and Douglas, Georgia’s health department provides vaccines for many uninsured adults at less than $22 — significantly cheaper than an out-of-pocket price of a vaccine like hepatitis B, which GoodRx says has an average retail price of $107. It’s the type of service health experts say is crucial for maintaining a healthy public. https://www.healthbeat.org/atlanta/2024/12/18/vaccine-supply-limited-uninsured-adults-hpv-shingles-hepatitis/
