So why didn’t it explode until the 1980s? Timing is everything. In the early 1900s, small colonial towns were growing. There was more migration, more trade routes, and more sexual networking. The virus spread along railway routes, reaching the Caribbean and eventually the US by the 1960s.

The Patient Zero myth is also misleading. People often point to a man named Gaétan Dugas as the first case. But we now know he wasn’t. The virus was already spreading silently in the population for decades before the 1980s. Doctors discovered it only after the virus had spread for generations.

First, we have to clear something up: HIV didn’t just appear in the 1980s. The virus is actually ancient. It’s been circulating in primates for thousands of years. The specific virus that causes AIDS is a descendant of SIV Simian Immunodeficiency Virus.

So, how did SIV (monkey virus) become HIV (human virus)? It all comes down to blood. In Central Africa, hunting chimpanzees and other primates for bushmeat was and still is common. Hunters got cuts while butchering, allowing monkey blood to mix with human blood. That’s the crossover event.

…15 people were rescued from this burning building. Last night, my hometown of Kremenchuk came under another attack. This building housed a children's center that had been supporting children with disabilities and their families for nine years. Damn russians

It’s always the same. The Tea Party protests were *insanely small* compared to No Kings, yet the media responded by giving Tea Party Republicans a televised slot to reply to Obama’s SOTU in addition to the regular GOP response.

I love* the fact that the media spent years telling us the country had changed forever because of an R +1.5 environment and when it's a D +13 environment they're like "woah there partner, this probably doesn't mean anything."

David Cochrane on the Democrats' blue tsunami: America was willing to put up with a lot until gas got expensive. Zain Velji: Did people finally trade away a version of fascism because diesel was too expensive? Yeah.

Fake news alert. This image from today's shooting in Krakow is AI enchanted and not real. These piss me off to no end. Its almost real, from a real clip but no, we need to amp up reality 🙄

In Paraguay President Santiago Peña resigned after a bank collapse. Congress refused to accept the resignation because they want to impeach him. People still can’t access the app or ATMs and the banks are shuttered.

So, having read the Court's statement, it appears Akansas had the exact same lack of checks and controls you usually read about in the bar disciplinary order findings of fact of lawyers whose excessively trusted employee embezzled client money. God. She failed someone who passed.
