Brain fever on the rise for kids with the #flu
“Last year, the flu shot was found to be up to 78% effective in keeping kids and teens with the flu out of the hospital.
"About 90% of the 280 children [#uspol] who died last flu season hadn’t received their annual flu shot.
“The best way to protect yourself and your family from influenza is for everyone to get vaccinated,” said Dr. Sean O’Leary, an infectious diseases expert with the American Academy of Pediatrics.”

The AI workslop has now cometh. Of course anyone with a brain knew this 2 years ago. Literally I was having chats with someone about AI emails replying to other AI emails. Ridiculous hype and pointless waste of electricity, how humans believe this stuff is just mad.

Some years ago I moved from Bergen to Oslo, from the western part of Norway to the eastern. I had to move my stuff in winter, and it was a lot of snow. I had visited Borgund stave church at summertime, but never in winter, and as I passed it I saw the possibility to visit it. Me and a lonely motorcyclist (!). I hope he too enjoyed it as much as I did.
Most Norwegian stave churches are in the south and usully by a fjord or inland, somewhere high up in the mountains. Usually in a small villiage who either couldn’t afford a new church or actually thought it worth saving. While they build a larger, warmer church next to it. At some point there was a law requiring that a church should seat at least 30 people, many stave churches couldn’t apply to that and they become obsolete. So, that is how 1300+ became 28.
Borgund is the best saved church we have, and also most famous, perhaps? It is something about how it sits in the landscape, the monumentality of it. It is also the most commercialized, with the most visitors (except for Gol stavkyrkje moved to Oslo perhaps). Borgund is quite accessible from Bergen.
And btw, I am back west …

Lo que prometía ser una alternativa fresca y descentralizada a X se está convirtiendo, poco a poco, en un simple clon de aquello que muchos queríamos dejar atrás.
Se presentaron como una red abierta y descentralizada, pero la realidad es otra: el control sigue estando centralizado, las decisiones vienen de arriba y la supuesta libertad técnica se ha quedado en papel mojado.
No necesito otro X con otro nombre.
Mastodon cumple lo que promete: descentralización real, comunidad genuina y transparencia.
Bluesky ya no va por ese camino, así que me bajo aquí.

C'est dimanche. On se caille un peu les meules, mais les pythonisses de la météo affirment que tout la semaine va se tenir aux environ de 20° le jour et 9° la nuit.
On verra bien.
Au programme rasage, marche en forêt puis cuisine.
Pas mal.
Faites attention à vous, prenez soin, dorlotez vous et vos proches.

Hello. I'm Nouran. I'm challenging the circumstances around me to survive. It's been almost two years for us in this situation.
I have a dream to be a dentist. But my biggest dream now is to live a normal life, like any human being. I'm human being. I have my own life, memories, dreams, friends. I don't want to be forgotten. What is most painful for me now is seeing my family suffering.
Still thinking of us? My family needs your urgent help. Please donate in the link in the bio 🙏 ❤️

La foto è del 22 settembre.
Das Bild zeigt eine engen, belebten Gasse in einer historischen Stadt, wahrscheinlich in Italien. Die Gebäude sind in warmen Farben wie Orange, Gelb und Beige gestrichen und haben traditionelle Fensterläden in Grün und braun. Die Gasse ist von zwei Seiten von Gebäuden gesäumt, die mehrstöckig sind und mit Balkonen und Fenstern ausgestattet sind. Einige der Fenster haben grüne Läden, die teilweise geschlossen sind. Auf der rechten Seite der Gasse sind weiße Sonnenschirme zu sehen, die wahrscheinlich zu einem Café oder Restaurant gehören. Die Gasse ist gepflastert und führt in die Ferne, wo weitere Gebäude und ein Platz mit Bäumen und Plätzen zu erkennen sind. Der Himmel ist blau mit einigen weißen Wolken, was auf einen sonnigen Tag hinweist.

Dazu passend die hohen Fenster der Kirche St. Georgen in Wismar, die irgendwie eine erhabene Ruhe ausstrahlen. Die Kirche stammt aus dem 13. Jahrhundert und ist heute Teil des UNESCO Weltkulturerbes.
