You've probably seen the word #Landback somewhere and instantly had some feelings. It sounds blunt, which is part of why a lot of people tend to have an instant reaction or jump to some very problematic misconceptions about what it means. So, let's talk Landback, from my POV and work.

"We really need to start from a precautionary position ... and assume that [airborne transmission] is part of what's going on, and then we can back off as we get more evidence," @donmilton.bsky.social said.

Francesca Albanese, the Italian lawyer serving as the UN special rapporteur for the Palestinian territories, has been removed from the U.S. sanctions blacklist after a federal court intervened against the Trump administration’s decision.

This may make me sound old as dust or too young depending on your perspective, but whatever: we are all so damn lucky that Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong recorded music together so frequently, like how insanely fantastic is that power combo? What a generous gift.

"Solidarity Now! Protect our communities" Mural seen in Seattle

We Are a Democracy! “We don't live in a democracy, we live in a constitutional republic." This is like saying "I don't have a dog, I have a golden retriever." A constitutional republic is a type of democracy. You didn't catch anyone in a gotcha. You told everyone you don't know what words mean.

BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

You know, I’m really tired of ego selfies of men at the gym. Get a life, and stop posting yourself posing in the gym mirror with your phone. Show me your diploma with ‘magna cum laude’ next to your name. Show me you volunteer at an animal shelter every month. Show me you took your mom to dinner.

COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

1) They should have been testing everyone anyway. 2) They didn't because they said you have to wait for symptoms to test. 3) They're only doing it so they can end precautionary measures for "low risk" people. 4) It has a long incubation period. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/05/15/o...
