Mario's not gonna be happy. Sorry, I couldn't resist. It's literally the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the guy's name. Anyway, not a professional, but a fairly smart guy (an Ivy League grad I'm seeing) who had a history that gave him reason to hate the health insurance industry here. Reporting says he was upset about how a sick relative of his got treated. Also, read he had a photo on his X account showing four pins in a spine. His own? Not sure, if he had a personal bad experience as well, but in any case looks like it's more or less over now. Assuming of course they got the right guy, though it certainly seems like they do.

Grand Elder passing away at the perfect moment. A bit too convenient don't you think? But eh, it's anime.

Third wish: a magical lullaby to put Vegeta back to sleep.

Piccolo: "I recall no such promise." Poor King Kai. Seriously though, how did he not see that coming?

Porunga's been eating his spinach.

Kero kero!

Time to froggy with it. Always loved this part.

This shot is taking forever. LOL

Time for a little divine intervention. LOL

Godzilla Minus One 8/10 Ending was kind of overly predictable, but still loved it.

That's some serious firepower. Explomb though?

He's totally Sanjiing.

That reaction... ROFL And Mash just slapped him.

New dude's totally jelly. Wants to get rid of all the hot guys so he can get some hot chicks for himself. LMAO

This show really is making me hungry for cream puffs. Was looking around and saw this, and now I really want some. So cute!

Suddenly we're watching Food Wars again.

You're supposed to eat that thing? No... way... Jose.

All right all you cream puffs. Time to work it out!

Man, they really are the world's worst parents. Literally kicking her when she's down and driving her away.

Geez... she went full She-Hulk.

Gotta say Bertie's parents suck. So obsessed with gaining power in order to move past the shame of their defeat they forgot about their own kid.

Yeah, anyone wondering how come there's people who aren't exactly broken up about this guy's death, ought to just take a look at this... https://digg.com/data-viz/link/us-household-wealth-gap-1-percent-data-viz-graph-chart I mean it's not rocket science. Not saying it in any way makes it right, but it makes it understandable why a lot of people are lacking in sympathy for someone at the top end there.

It's being referred to as Disease X for the moment. I found this other article's description of the situation interesting: "Into the unknown: Crack WHO team journeys deep into the Congo to identify mystery killer". Makes it sound a lot like that old Outbreak movie from the 90s. "There are no paved roads to Panzi, the small village of tin-roofed shacks surrounded by thick rainforest which is thought to be ground zero for the outbreak, and their progress will be slowed by heavy seasonal rains and the threat of attacks from local militia groups. Instead, they will have to travel along the rutted dirt tracks that wind south-east from the capital, Kinshasa, through the rough terrain of Kwango province, which takes its name from a river that has long been a target for illegal diamond mining." Can you just imagine the guts of the people that do this for a living.

https://currently.att.yahoo.com/news/deploys-team-experts-congo-help-173153492.html Although much more needs to be learned, the outbreak is extremely concerning, said Lawrence Gostin, a longtime global health expert and faculty director of the O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University. "We don't want to press the panic button until we see what we're dealing with, but it's something the world has to pay close attention to because if it is a novel, highly transmissible influenza, it'll spread around the world extremely rapidly," he said. The cases are centered in the country’s southwestern province of Kwango, in the Panzi health zone. While the WHO said 30 people reportedly died from the disease, local authorities told Reuters 143 people succumbed to the illness, since late October. Symptoms of the disease so far include headaches, cough, fever, breathing difficulties and anemia, the WHO said. Reuters reported that it appears to most seriously affect women and children, particularly those over 15. Gostin said he is particularly concerned that the infections seem to be striking people in the prime of life, as opposed to the very young or very old, who are the more typical victims of flu. "It's mysterious, because this is just not an event that we see," he said. He's also concerned because the disease appears to be spreading rapidly from person-to-person. Other highly lethal influenza viruses, like bird flu, have not spread easily. "It makes it very worrying," he said. Plus, the Democratic Republic of Congo has a very weak health system and remains torn by civil war, with a population that doesn't trust mainstream medicine or western doctors, Gostin said. "Getting resources there to put out the flames is going to be very hard," he said. "It's a toxic brew." Oh boy. Where did I put that N95 again? Perfect time to putting vaccine skeptics in charge of the Department of Health and CDC.
