I think you accidentally a word.
I appreciate the thought, but I just copied and pasted Dr. Ross’s article. Bestof should probably be kept for things produced by community members.
We think of measles as a minor viral infection of kids that causes fever, rash, and a runny nose, and goes away without major complications. Unfortunately, that is not always so. Nervous system disease is a particular problem. SSPE occurs as a late, fatal measles complication in one out of 1,367 cases of measles in children younger than 5. One out of 1,000 children with measles gets an infection of the brain (encephalitis) early in the course of measles. About 15% of children with measles encephalitis die. Measles encephalitis led to the death of the writer Roald Dahl’s daughter Olivia.
Children’s brains can also develop an allergic reaction to the measles virus several weeks after infection. This is called acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM). Children seem to recover, then get fever, confusion, headaches, and neck stiffness. Like SSPE and measles encephalitis, ADEM occurs in about one out of 1,000 cases of measles. It is fatal in 10% to 20% of patients. Survivors of measles encephalitis and ADEM often have epilepsy, brain damage, or developmental delay.
Measles has other serious complications. During pregnancy, it causes miscarriages. Measles can infect the cornea, and was once a common cause of blindness. Ear infections and hearing loss are frequent. Measles virus also infects the lungs, causing pneumonia in 3% to 4% of cases. Measles weakens the immune system for at least two months. Sometimes patients die of other infections immediately after they recover from measles. In a measles epidemic that killed more than 3,000 soldiers in the US Army in 1917–18, bacterial pneumonia was the major cause of death.

This isn’t exactly what you asked for, but I want to recommend somafm, which is an internet radio site. They have a bunch of different channels with different themes/styles.
This is a good option since you don’t want to maintain a library. Rather than a recommendation algorithm, the channels are intentionally curated by people, and occasionally live dj-ed.
You can use their web player, but they also provide stream links for any media player that can handle them. VLC can do that, or you can use a mobile app.
You’re thinking about the results of the audit, the final report, which a court might use to apply consequences after the fact. That’ll be good documentation to have, but it isn’t the real benefit.
The real benefit is getting inside the organization, getting in the way of whatever they’re currently doing, making them explain what they’re doing while they’re doing it, keeping tabs on everybody, making them feel watched. The benefit is slowing them down right now, for as long as the audit goes on. If they obstruct the audit, I hope the auditors drag their feet and make everything take longer, and extend the audit for another year or two. Question everything, be the most annoying looking-over-your-shoulder assholes they can be.
I mean… you can really fuck an operation up with an audit. If you have enough backing that the organization being audited can’t get rid of you, then you can basically grind everything to a halt and get dirt on everyone involved. They better be prepared for all the retaliatory shit they’re gonna be targeted with though.
This is the first step of just freezing everything that Musk’s group of cronies is trying to do. It’s a good first step because it has some official authority. I just hope the Democrats start throwing out “if you’re not doing anything wrong then you have nothing to hide!” when the shit hits the fan.
You will own nothing and like it have no recourse.
Lockheed Martin. Half the US military runs on their products. They’re so integrated that the military basically can’t afford to change contractors for any of it.
Both ships were operating near Port Said, Egypt, at the time, Gorman said in a brief news release.
This is a super busy area. Port Said is at the Mediterranean entrance of the Suez Canal, so both ships were probably in designated navigation channels which would mean restricted maneuvering…
There should have been a bunch of people on the Truman actively watching everything if that were the case. I wonder if we’ll get to see any of the deck camera footage.
and we’re pulling the trigger on that gun… hooray…
Do we want ‘mass adoption’? and if so, why? and what would that look like, if we had it? how would we know that we had got it, and what good would the getting do us?

Right, I think I need a drink…
Beyond just the general tankiness that others have mentioned, I think the worst thing about Hexbear is how they aggressively claim to be pro-LGBTQ+ while zealously supporting Russia and China, nations which actively persecute anyone who is not hetero-normative. Putin actively jokes about killing homosexuals, and the PRC will black-bag you and put you in a reeducation camp.
I’ve always felt there was something deeply sinister in this hypocrisy, probably having to do with intentionally targeting marginalized people and attempting to influence and/or radicalize them - your basic cult recruitment tactics.
