The impact of Florida’s new law targeting voter outreach groups is clear: voter registration numbers have plummeted. In 2020, grassroots organizations registered nearly half a million voters. This year, only 13,521 have been registered so far. boltsmag.org/florida...

Australians and UK people who keep smugly saying "well WE don't have to worry about this", I have really bad news for you about EBLV-1, EBLV-2, and ABLV, all of which can also cause rabies in humans and all of which have caused at least one horrible human death.
For some reason, I was thinking about Kids Incorporated, and my brain immediately went to Martika. The second thought was that I still can't get over Fergie being Stacy from that show.
