Now, I've always been a fan of all things Fortean, but unfortunately as you get older you get a bit disenchanted. Those UFO's turn out to be weather balloons, those ghosts just infrasound, underground water, sea monsters are formidably endowed whales having a threesome, and few of the things you once found mysterious still hold any of their charm.
This one, though, is a curious case from start to finish. It's nice to know we haven't got it all figured out...

A short and interesting video on how we eradicated Smallpox.
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybVZ7vluYhQ
Note that "eradicate" is perhaps a bit severe, the disease lies dormant in many labs and permafrosts, and current defunding by the US of Vaccines and WHO in general may well bring it back. But - for a time, when we trusted the experts and good science, it was gone.

I apologize, this is a long read, but a very good explainer on how and where we are at the moment:
With the Chaos of the news cycle at the moment it's sometimes difficult to focus on where this is all going. They have the playlist. So don't be distracted - every distraction is by design, and when the time comes, remember...
This cannot end well, but we can ensure it ends worse for those who started and profited by it.

My Facebook, more inane cat videos.
This; a screenshot of Trump pouring water on Orange Cat's vacation.
Now it's just China trolling the Americans, there was one yesterday in which two cats - black and white, siblings, are abducted by a big fat ICE agent - "Animal Control", next scene is the black cat in chains at the "vet"- which resembles the "hospital" facilities at CECOT; who's prepping an evil needle, white cat leaps in to save his brother, jabs needle into vet, vet dies, black and white cat escape together with fat ICE agent in hot pursuit...
I take a look at the comments, clearly other people are getting this. They're not, not at all, they're all just sad at the dark turn of events that have overtaken the Orange Cat videos.

Now the Chinese (I'm guessing) - they're only a day or two behind current events in the US, Abrego Garcia's unlawful forced deportation (and probable execution), the President's refusal to expedite in any ways his return, El Salvador's President refusing to return him (because, most likely, he's dead) and you get an idea where these videos are going.
And Kristi Noem, fashionably parading through one of the poorest and violent prisons in the world, with a solid gold Rolex fashionably displayed on her wrist...and Trump's request for 4 more "CECOT" centres be built for the "real baddies" in America, well...another time not so long ago we'd have called them concentration camps.
We live adjacent to a despicable present; where both China and Russia are starting to look like good guys...
***
Anyways, the Chinese, they're on it, filling up Facebook and Meta with cutesy AI videos that on some level reflect current events in America, and - having dumbed it down and sweetened it up as much as they could they're STILL not getting it. If it comes to it, a big IF - it will be probably known as the Facebook revolution, and Zuckerberg will be Parilaus, roasted in the Bronze or Brazen Bull(shit) of his own devising...
