Maryland Today | #N95Masks Nearly Perfect at Blocking #COVID, UMD… https://today.umd.edu/n95-masks-nearly-perfect-at-blocking-covid-umd-study-shows “The research shows that any mask is much better than no mask, and an N95 is significantly better than the other options. That’s the No. 1 message,..

The results also suggest that N95 masks, also known as #respirators, should be the standard of care in nursing homes and health care settings when respiratory viral infections are prevalent and transmission risk is elevated”

Just stumbled across this...

The Defendant's counsel pointing out the current case "is a refiled case" and they "dismissed the [original] case and refiled it as the current case as soon as that [original] case was assigned to Judge Seeger".

Brilliant stuff - and this one keeps pointing out the errors.

I just want us all to take a moment and reflect that it has been a couple of women that brought you this at great personal cost.

Of all the things that could bring down Trump, it has been a couple of stubborn women he felt entitled to that did it.

In a HUGE win for digital government in the USA, US Treasury says Direct File will be a permanent, free tax filing option! https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy2385

NB: A USGSA survey of 11,000+ filers found 90% ranked the UX as “Excellent” or “Above Average,” after a successful pilot with 140,000 Americans that saved an estimated $5.6M in costs.

Next steps: invest more to pre-populate returns, test, iterate, & scale.

#TrumpTrial Thurs 30 May 2024 🧵#Deliberations continue

Justice #Merchan says he believes that the #jury wants him to repeat a significant portion of the #JuryInstructions.

He will read pages 6-35.

Each page yesterday took him just a little more than a minute, so this will take >30 mins.

Between that & the testimony readbacks, also expected to take >30 mins, there will likely be >1 hour this morning w/the jury in the courtroom, not actively deliberating.

It's half term here in the UK so I've being doing well, not really doing much social media type stuff.

I've just got wind of a Minecraft schedule A hearing tomorrow, and as I haven't listened in to an NDIL hearing this year, I may just have to have a listen, see how things are going in Illinois courts see if any defendants show up. Doubt it but maybe worth a listen to a judge I've not heard before in these cases.

S and M own a house as joint tenants. Following a dispute with their neighbors, M raises an upside-down American flag on the flagpole in their yard. S asks M to remove it, but M refuses. S then says, “there were no additional steps that I could have taken to have the flag taken down more promptly.”

Which of the following best explains why S is wrong?
(A) M’s flying of the flag was an ouster of S.
(B) M committed waste.
(C) The flag created a nuisance.
(D) S had an undivided right to possession.

Study shows enforced #masking on long #flights prevents #SARSCoV2 transmission https://www.news-medical.net/news/20240528/Study-shows-enforced-masking-on-long-flights-prevents-SARS-CoV-2-transmission.aspx “Overall, the study found that flight duration was a factor in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 within the aircraft in flights with non-enforced masking. In contrast, long-haul flights with enforced masking had no reports of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 within the aircraft despite serving meals. (1/2)

Two armadillos, c. 1550 - c. 1570.

The unknown artist drew a nine-band & a three-band armadillo here.

Armadillos became a symbol of America in the 16th century, often depicted on paper, while dried specimens were collected in cabinets of curiosities.
