380: The Season of Information Control
Election year pressures are pushing the fight to control information to the US Supreme Court, slowing the money flow to Ukraine, and causing failed leaders to panic. Show notes: Supreme Court hears landmark cases that could upend what we see on social media | CNN Business Section 230 Section 230 embodies that principle that we should all be responsible for our own actions and statements online, but generally not those of others. The law prevents most civil suits against users or services that are based on what others say. Prevailing on Ukraine Funding, McConnell Took Political Hits - The New York Times Mr. McConnell’s main arguments in support of Ukraine funding: that much of the federal money ultimately finds its way to U.S. companies that manufacture weapons and ammunition.“I find it really disturbing that there are people out there making the argument on both sides of the aisle, ‘No big deal, it’s helping our defense industrial base.’” Navalny aide asked alleged British spy for millions in funding HUR Chief Budanov Says Seems Navalny Died of Detached Blood Clot “I may disappoint you, but as far as we know, he indeed died as a result of a blood clot. And this has been more or less confirmed,” Budanov told journalists on the sidelines at the “Ukraine. Year of 2024” forum on Sunday."This wasn’t sourced from the internet, but, unfortunately, natural causes,” he added.

367: COVID Blame Game
Fear of the Delta variant is driving a wave of mask rollbacks. Don't blame our leadership class; blame your anti-vax neighbor. The media and politicians chant it's a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Links CDC Confirms That Viral Loads In Vaccinated People With Delta May Be Infectious, So Masks Are Necessary Walensky cited data from the last few days, still unpublished, taken from 100 samples from vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals with COVID infections. They found that the amount of virus in the noses and throats of vaccinated infected people was nearly "indistinguishable" from what was found in unvaccinated people, confirming what some experts have suspected. The increased viral load associated with the Delta variant appears to make vaccinated people equal spreaders of the virus. How Dangerous is the Delta Variant (B.1.617.2)? Symptoms of Delta tend to be a little different than other strains, but that does not necessarily mean the associated symptoms are more severe.
