    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      Sometimes here that trivia question at pub nights. "What 'animal' kills the most humans every year?"

      Related to the above, dengue fever is significantly on the increase.

      https://emergency.cdc.gov/han/2024/han00511.asp

      Global incidence of dengue in 2024 has been the highest on record for this calendar year; many countries are reporting higher-than-usual dengue case numbers. In 2024, countries in the Americas have reported a record-breaking number of dengue cases, exceeding the highest number ever recorded in a single year. From January 1 – June 24, 2024, countries in the Americas reported more than 9.7 million dengue cases, twice as many as in all of 2023 (4.6 million cases). In the United States, Puerto Rico has declared a public health emergency (1,498 cases) and a higher-than-expected number of dengue cases have been identified among U.S. travelers (745 cases) from January 1 – June 24, 2024.

        My 6 year old learned that in school and now every time we see one outside she goes "you know the mosquito is the deadliest animal on the planet?"

            What we really need to address is mosquito literacy and poverty. And teaching them the 10 Commandments probably wouldn't hurt.

            I was only joking

              You forgot mosquito diversity and pride.

              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                No wai. Mosquitos are clearly transphobic.

                  Apparently God loves all animals, including the filthy bloodsuckers that he for some unknown fucking reason created and sent down here to kill millions.

                  Maybe He'd had a bad day.

                    I have two mosquito traps on my property. Many other insects, especially moths who are SO DUMB also get killed. To them, I am the deadliest creature on this planet.
