"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children against deadly childhood diseases. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda
"Without vaccines, many transmissible diseases were once an early death sentence. People are so quick to forget how fortunate we are to have access to them."
When #ICE announced the Jan 3 #death of detainee Geraldo Lunas Campos at a Texas #detention camp, the agency said “staff observed him in distress,” & it gave no cause of death.
An employee of El Paso County’s Office of the Medical Examiner told Lunas Campos’s daughter this week that, subject to results of a toxicology report, the office is likely to classify the death as a #homicide, acc/to a recording of the conversation.

While planning my NAS build, I had a sobering realization. My "Bus Factor" at home is exactly 1.
I'm going to spend so much time securing my data against drive failures and hackers but what about my family? If something happens to me, my homelab becomes a digital tomb that no one has the keys to.
I dug up this repo I bookmarked a while ago: eol-dr (End of Life / Disaster Recovery). It’s basically a framework for documenting your digital life for your loved ones.
GitHub: https://github.com/potatoqualitee/eol-dr
Configuring a RAID array is easy. Writing a "How to access our photos when I'm gone" guide is the hard part. Probably, the hardest. But it's arguably the most important backup you'll ever make.
Hope it'll be useful for somebody. Just make a star and take a look later when you feel it's a time.

Long post [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
On a more uplifting note, my wife has a paper out in the latest issue of Preternature: Critical and Historical Studies on the Preternatural, titled Aquatic Birds and the Liminality of the Sea in Greco-Roman Mythology:In the Greco-Roman worldview, the sea forms a permeable boundary between the realms of humans, the gods, and the dead. This article demonstrates that seabirds embody the connective role of the sea in Greco-Roman mythology. Seabirds nest on land, feed by diving into water, and fly in the air. Therefore, these birds are imagined connecting the world of mortals with that of the dead and the gods, and they illustrate the transitions humans live through in their interactions with the gods and their experience of death.Here: https://muse.jhu.edu/pub/2/article/979701
A disclaimer: my wife has been running a project on birds in ancient mythology for many years, and I've been involved in it since 2018 or so (in other words I'm more than a bit biased here, for several reasons). For my part I've been using qualitative data analysis techniques like Formal Concept Analysis and Rough Set Theory to explore datasets she and her students have been creating using D'Arcy Thompson's Glossary of Greek Birds as a focal point. There's a page about the FCA analysis on the linked site.
I find it fascinating that some of the arguments about the role birds play in Greek myths become visible in such analyses. For instance, one of the things we've observed in the data is that the words/concepts "female" and "metamorphosis" appearing in a myth fragment are strongly associated with some form of "diving into the sea" also appearing (the metamorphoses in question often being death-related, and diving into the sea, as the above paper argues, represents death to the ancient Greeks).

‘Children Here Never Grow Up’: Jackie Chan Moved to Tears by Gaza Footage
Legendary actor Jackie Chan made headlines on Wednesday after becoming visibly emotional while speaking about a video showing the suffering of children in Gaza during a promotional event for his film.
The 71-year-old star said the words of a Palestinian child in the video left him shaken to the core.
Speaking during a recent public appearance, Chan recalled watching footage in which a child from Gaza was asked a simple question: what he wanted to become when he grew up.
The child’s response, Chan said, was devastating. “Children here never get to grow up,” the boy replied.
Chan said that from the moment the child began speaking, he lost control of his emotions. “As soon as I heard him, my tears started falling,” he said. “I couldn’t endure it.”
The actor explained that the boy’s tone — quiet, steady, almost detached — made the moment even more devastating. “There was no expression on his face,” Chan added. “He was already used to death.”

A band called 'Death' was punk before punk was punk
Formed in November 1971 by the 3 Hackney brothers, they were influential pioneers of the genre and, along with Pure Hell, the first all-black proto-punk/punk band.

JOINT LEADERSHIP STATEMENT ABOUT DONALD TRUMP'S DEATH THREATS AGAINST House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Democratic Whip Katherine Clark and Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar released the following statement: Political violence has no place in America. Representatives Jason Crow, Chris DeLuzio, Maggie Goodlander and Chrissy Houlahan and Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin all served our country with tremendous patriotism and distinction. We unequivocally condemn Donald Trump's disgusting and dangerous death threats against Members of Congress and call on House Republicans to forcefully do the same. Donald Trump incited a violent attack on the Capitol on January 6th as part of a treacherous attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The President's violent and unhinged rhetoric against American patriots is consistent with his well-documented history of attacking prisoners of war, Gold Star families and war heroes. There is no bottom when it comes to Donald Trump. We have been in contact with the House Sergeant at Arms and the United States Capitol Police to ensure the safety of these Members and their families. Donald Trump must immediately delete these unhinged social media posts and recant his violent rhetoric before he gets someone killed.

Wisconsin Public Radio: Wisconsin family sues Tesla over crash that killed 5
"...According to the lawsuit, the car lacked safety features that could have prevented its batteries from catching fire and causing an explosion — or at least could have slowed down the process long enough to give the passengers time to escape.
Additionally, the lawsuit says the car’s design made it difficult for the passengers to get out after the crash. Normally, the doors to the car’s backseat can be opened using buttons on the handles that draw power from the vehicle’s low-voltage system. But, during a fire, that low-voltage system typically stops working, which means the car doors can only open if they’re manually released, the suit says..."

Men are not usually shy to boast about their driving skills but the latest figures suggest they may need to take their foot off the pedal of self-belief.
Research has found that male drivers are more confident than women yet responsible for the majority of serious accidents.

My PhD research was focused on grief in the 19th
century. I can tell you exactly how much they
would have wanted modern medicine. I've read so
many accounts of people writing about how they
would have done anything to save their children,
their spouses, their siblings.
Mothers and fathers who sat up all night praying
that their baby would see the morning. People
giving huge sums of money to quack doctors in
the hope that they could save their wives.
Mothers writing about how they would do
anything to not leave their children alone. One
father after the loss of his fifth child in a month
retelling how he had wanted to go outside and
scream, but that he was too tired, so he lay down
on the dining room floor instead.
After I read all that it feels like an insult that
anyone in the modern world would turn down
vaccines, when for thousands of years countless
people would have given everything they had for
the opportunity to save their loved ones.
“Above all, live your life without fear of death. Death is the only guarantee in life. Your only choices are in how you live, not whether you will die. When my time comes, I don’t want people to be sorry I left. I want them to be glad I was here. Live in such a way that your life will be celebrated more than your death is mourned.”
—Heather Marsh
1/ Since @JohannaMakesGames was curious, here is a thread on assorted "Underworlds" from German folklore. This will be a slow-moving thread since I need to go through my backlog of translated folk tales and put them on my wiki.
One iconic type of "Underworld" is one inhabited by a "Sleeping Ruler" - a former emperor, king, or other leader who is neither dead nor alive, but sleeps beneath the mountain until he is needed once more.

- have an escape plan
- practice your escape plan
- know where your keys are
- do not leave things charging overnight, yes, even your phone
- do not leave plugs switched on overnight

“There are no words. It adds loss on top of loss, trauma on top of trauma. I want to see the RCMP take responsibility and own up to this tragedy. Otherwise, nothing has changed, it is just more of the same for us.”
Welp, it's been over 24 hours since the #CityOfEdmonton #WasteManagement emptied our complex's ginormous blue bin and then placed it down on an angle (at least 20°) rather than flat.
I literally don't even know how they have accomplished this, as the sole thing I know of that might plausibly hold such weight (for awhile, at least) is one of those small concrete parking stops that used to be the backstop for the good old days when we had a full-sized garbage bin (which was still inadequate given how much dumping goes on, but we could usually squeeze our own stuff in within a couple of weeks or so).
I left a message with our complex managers yesterday but nothing happened. Today I called 311 as I am genuinely worried that the extreme angle and now easily-accessible height makes it a climbing hazard on top of a tipping hazard, and its close proximity to another steel bin in front screams #CrushInjury or #Death rather loudly. 😱😢
Wish me luck in getting this #hazard actually dealt with asap!

This jives with what I have seen in rural areas. Private equity buys a financially stable hospital, guts everything, takes on debt and people die so the rich can get richer. Like a locust they devour everything and move on leaving a gutted shell
"Medicare beneficiaries in the emergency departments of private equity hospitals experienced seven additional deaths per 10,000 visits after acquisition relative to hospitals that were not acquired by private equity, the team found. This rise represented a 13 percent increase from a baseline of 52 deaths per 10,000 visits. "
This is statically significant and coupled with the present administration war on sick, disabled, and elderly will exponentially magnify this. #healthcare #privateequity #medicare #hospitals #death #mortality
