An interesting twist on the usual 'immunity debt' nonsense, from the "Walking pneumonia cases are rising among kids" article in The Washington Post:

"... from March to October this year, the CDC found that the largest increase in cases was among children age 2 to 4, whose emergency visits related to the bacteria went up from 1 to 7.2 percent."

Among children age 2 to 4, you say? Tell us more...

"'Like with most things, we are blaming the pandemic,' Shane said. 'During that period of isolation, we had a whole cohort of children who were not exposed.'"

Incredible -- so apparently 2 and 3-year-olds have immunity debt from lockdowns that they weren't alive for 🙃

You're on a ship hurtling through space and your crew's best engineers report that critical sub-systems - from water filtration, through to HVAC and food pods - are all failing. Evidence of sabotage. What do you do?

World's governments:

Shall the historic anglophones ALSO sue the province of Québec AND the city of Montréal, etc. to translate ALL its websites and provincial and municipal documents into English?

Supreme Court sued over its refusal to translate decisions before 1970 into French: https://montreal.citynews.ca/2024/11/01/supreme-court-sued-over-its-refusal-to-translate-decisions-before-1970-into-french/

Racism is systemic in Québec.

FYI It took the police 9 days to decide taking the time to boil water and throw it at a child is a crime...

AND NOW, she's out on bail. Must be nice to be white and pure laine, eh.

“Oxfam identified 23 superyachts owned by 18 billionaires and estimates the average annual carbon footprint of each of these yachts to be 5,672 tonnes, which is more than three times the emissions of the #billionaires’ private jets... This is equivalent to 860 years of emissions for the average person in the world, and 5,600 times the average of someone in the global poorest 50%.”
