Jagalchi Market in Busan, South Korea, is my favorite fish market in the world. Or I should say: SEAFOOD market, because every marine creature imaginable (and then some) can be found there. Featured prominently is this favorite Korean snack, called meongge:
Is it animal, mineral, vegetable, or alien organism? Well, despite the misnomer 'sea pineapple', it's very much a member of Kingdom Animalia. Also known as 'sea squirt', it's an ascidian tunicate and is a relative of the most ancient pre-vertebrates. Who knew.
Meongge is usually eaten raw with various soy- and vinegar-based sauces and some gochujang fermented red chili paste. If you try it, know that you are eating the tunic of a tunicate. 3/5

2) Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 viruses of clade 2.3.4.4b arrived in North America in late 2021/early 2022 and have since spread widely, infecting both wild and domestic birds.
3) Surveillance was conducted in New York City from January 2022 to November 2023 to detect H5N1 viruses in urban wild birds. 1927 samples were collected from 895 birds representing 80 species.
A thread on medicalisation of grief.
1. In last six months. Five of my friends lost a parent. It can get overwhelming. Being a local to their parent's city i was involved in the process medically / supportingly / logistically.
Here are some observations about wrong use of antidepressant medications for the grieving.

2. Many left behind a spouse. Completely heartbroken and distraught due to the loss.
Unfortunately, their well wishing family physicians advised antidepressant prescription.
I have a serious disagreement with this. Hence the thread.

3. After such a profound loss. Death of a spouse of 40 years or more. A huge void is left in life. Sadness and grief is intense and in indian culture it is expressed by copious crying, re telling of last illness / last moments with every visitor.
@ray_omollo What the hell happens to sane guys, after they join Govt & rub shoulders with politricians
Is ochestrating a tangible Disaster Risk Mgmt, end product, or an investment in reducing disaster risk in order to limit the cost of disasters when they occur ? @Jasiri_9line

From a DRM perspective, your job as CS @InteriorKE is simply-:
Priority 1: Understand disaster risk.
a) Improve public awareness of, & engagement on, disaster risks impacts
b) Identify, address data, information & resource gaps.

2) In this study, they experimentally evolved the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein by passaging a recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) bearing the spike in 4 different human cell lines expressing different levels of host entry factors like ACE2 and TMPRSS2.
3) After 20 passages, they identified 16 spike mutations that were fixed across the cell lines. Some of these mutations like H655Y and Q493R have also emerged in globally circulating variants.
I'm (a little) surprised at people who want to take issue with me and who insist that Americans, as a nation, really suffered through Afghanistan and Iraq, when the criticism I'm making is that we offloaded all that onto volunteers and then ignored them (and the wars). /1
I mean, normally, that might seem like a left-wing criticism, no? But I don't think it's either left/right, but just *true* in an empirical sense. A tiny fraction of the country serves in the military. We have not been a country "at war" in any meaningful sense since Vietnam. /2
People also seem to have forgotten the scale of the butcher's bill in Vietnam. Not only was no one drafted, but *20 years* of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan produced fewer than half as many casualties as Vietnam generated in *1968 alone*./3

Folks - asking your indulgence for a personal matter. I spent the weekend in New Jersey attending the funeral of the 20-year-old son of one of my dearest friends on earth, Jim Beale - no relation, but I appropriated his last name for my pseudonym as an homage to our 30 or so...
...years of friendship. Jim's son, Sam Beale, died in a tragic one-car accident on a NJ highway Sunday, April 16. Sam's mother, Nicole Jesmer, is also a dear friend of 30+ years. We all met while stationed at the 513th Military Intelligence Brigade at Ft. Gordon, Georgia...
...in the mid-90's and had the good fortune of forming lifelong bonds with a group of about 10 of us - all young Lieutenants, Captains and Warrant Officers who lived in or around the legendary Champion's Pines Apartments just down the road from Ft. Gordon's main gate. While...
I do have to say that a lot of people my generation in the US are choosing not to have kids and like, that's fine and up to them, but I cannot begin to relate at all. Coming from a Holocaust survivor family, having kids and starting a loving family feels almost rebellious
There's an element of "wow, I'm creating life, that's so cool" and there's an element of "I control my destiny" and there's an element of "I'm going to love you so hard" and there's a strong element of "fuck you, Hitler, I win"
When I was ten, I interviewed my grandfather who survived the Holocaust, and he spoke about building a new family. That always stuck with me. (The assignment was to also answer each question myself so it's actually darkly hilarious)
@pepesgrandma @Annie4082230691 @USNatArchives With appreciation for your work, I hope you will issue a correction so that people are aware these are NOT government entities. Itโs just a matter of keeping the facts straight.
@pepesgrandma @Annie4082230691 @USNatArchives If you call yourself a researcher and canโt correct yourself, then your work is not reliable. Government agencies donโt end in dot-org.
@pepesgrandma @Annie4082230691 @USNatArchives No. It is not. Try again.
They are holding on in case thereโs a party left to save when Trump is gone. If they abandon ship now, they will be in the political wilderness.
They know Trump wonโt prevail against these winds. They are gambling on attempting to retake the reins of the party when heโs gone.
To say or do anything else now is to be immediately excommunicated with no hope of return. The base cannot be turned from the outside, if at all.
