Only one human case linked to cattle has been confirmed to date, and symptoms were limited to conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye. But Russo and many other vets have heard anecdotes about workers who have pink eye and other symptoms—including fever, cough, and lethargy—and do not want to be tested or seen by doctors. #H5N1

The discovery of the country’s second human case of H5N1 avian flu, found in a Texas dairy farm worker following an outbreak among cows, is worrying and requires prompt and vigorous action. With fatality rates estimated up to 50 percent among humans, H5N1 is not something to gamble with.
Additionally, H5N1 was found in the unpasteurized milk of sick cows. (Gifted)

The sudden closure of Pea Soup Andersen’s is certain to be a shock to weekenders who used to stop at the famous restaurant. In many ways, the restaurant has become woven into the Central Coast getaway experience. I must say I made my last stop there visiting my son several months ago…it was ragged and rundown…but I am nostalgic and sad…it has been a part of my history and joy to stop there on family trips. https://www.sfgate.com/centralcoast/article/pea-soup-andersen-buellton-closed-18600570.php

OpenAI’s wild ride two weeks ago was farcical — a coup against Altman that collapsed and turned into a restoration. But it was also terrifying because it showed that we are totally at the mercy of Silicon Valley boys with their toys, egos crashing, temperaments colliding, ambition and greed soaring.

Today…this is where we are at…

After Johnson’s election as speaker, extremist Republican Matt Gaetz of Florida spelled out what it meant for the party…and for the country: “MAGA is ascendant,” Gaetz told former Trump advisor Steve Bannon, “and if you don’t think that moving from Kevin McCarthy to MAGA Mike Johnson shows the ascendance of this movement, and where the power of the Republican Party truly lies, then you’re not paying attention.” https://open.substack.com/pub/heathercoxrichardson/p/october-29-2023?r=1nitr&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
