We don’t have that kind of granularity anymore, both because RFK Jr and DOGE have significantly cut public health funding and because there are so many variants out there now and so little difference between them in terms of presenting symptoms

“Don’t Mess With Texas” was an anti-litter campaign and nothing else.


Real bud has been for sale in Texas for years now and has been completely unregulated. This regulation imposed by the Dept of State Health Services effectively kills the sale of the real stuff in stores by counting THCa in the total THC equation, which was not counted before. Lab derived stuff will still be for sale


What has happened over the past few years in Texas regarding THC is amazing. Weed is available everywhere. Compared to regulated states like Colorado, it was the wild west. It took the state legislature 3 sessions (6 years) to finally pass a bill trying to make THC illegal again, and Abbott vetoed it.
Well, I’m not happy about these new regulations, which basically make smokeable flower illegal and impose new fees that are certain to put quite a few small shops out of business, however most THC products are going to be remaining on the market, and we’re still going to be able to legally order everything that’s been banned through the mail, which I consider a huge win in this state.


We’re kind of not at all having an energy emergency, actually. Most states have pretty diverse energy generation portfolios, so electricity costs are not as responsive to global oil prices as e.g. gasoline for cars. The reality is there’s already tons of wind and solar online, and that’s going to continue even if Trump tries to stop projects on federally controlled land


There was a story on CNN about significant market movements that occurred 15-20 minutes before Trump sent the tweet


Trump assumes the IRGC are as dumb as him and the people he’s surrounded himself with, which is going to be catastrophic for how this goes for him. The IRGC are theocratic authoritarians who are not motivated by money, and he can’t conceive of this, so is clearly at a total loss as to how to handle the situation he has created


They’ve been letting some ships through heading to India and China, and were talking about setting up a vetting system to allow more ships through


US here. Uh…can you share what those war objectives are? We have not been told


Oof. The desperation is palpable and does not bode well for the future of Facebook. May it burn in hell


As Kinky Friedman once said:

Take your business back to Walgreens!
Have you tried the local zoo?
That doesn’t break it down by variant either tho
