Covid harms the systems in our bodies. It is a fact. There is so much data. Excess mortality especially in older people is a fact. There is loads of data. Please protect yourself.

Extreme temperature-related deaths expected to soar in the U.S. without stronger climate action

A study published in JAMA Network Open examines excess mortality linked to extreme temperatures in the U.S. Researchers project a rise in heat-related deaths, particularly among older adults and non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic populations, due to increasing greenhouse gas emissions. Between 2008 and 2019, annual average extreme heat days were 13.3, expected to rise significantly by 2035-2065. Under high emissions, projected deaths could increase from 30.9 million to over 22,936 annually. The findings highlight the urgent need for climate change strategies to protect vulnerable populations.

Swiss Re likely to make ~$151m recovery from mortality cat bonds

According to Artemis’ sources, Swiss Re now looks likely to make just under $151 million in reinsurance recoveries from its mortality catastrophe bonds, with a 100% recovery anticipated for the $120 million Vita Capital VI deal and a recovery already thought made under the Matterhorn Re mortality cat bond notes.As we reported in January, the […]

I do like the choice from Halsin to bring in a new Druid to take over the grove, rather than someone from within. It makes sense. There's a very Silvanite wisdom to it. The connection to nature is more important than your connection to people. They worship Silvanus, after all, who disdains civilization (he doesn't consider it part of the natural order).

Kagha isn't completely wrong.

That's why the Shadow Druids are able to get to her; Halsin's not doing a great job protecting the Grove, which is their sacred duty.

Definitely more important than the lives of a few people.

So the place needs a bit of a do-over. Someone untouched by relationships, history, and bias, who can come in and bring things back to the proper ways of Silvanus. I'm not saying Halsin thought Kagha was right, I'm just saying it would make his move of appointing Francesca of the High Forest an acknowledgment of his own Silvanite 'flaws'.

which is cool

People say women are a minority; but in fact, it is men who are the smaller group.

More interestingly, men are not born as a minority – as for every 100 female births there are actually 105 male births.

But this male surplus doesn’t stay for long, as over the course of a life time, the number of men is slowly eroded away until the sex ratio shifts.

Yup, in adulthood there are only 97 American men for every 100 women.

So what happened?

Why do men experience higher mortality rates in every age group, and have an overall death rate 1.4 times higher than women?

Why has a problem, so large it literally alters the tectonics of a nation’s population, been so readily ignored?

Why are men’s higher mortality rates so often waved of with, “well that’s just the way it is!”

Perhaps… men are not the ubiquitously privileged gender you’ll hear described, but the disposable one?

I mean isn’t early death a bit more deserving of advocacy and investigation than women having too few pockets, or Babie’s super cool day out?

Are the solutions to men’s issues more serious and complex than social media coddling, and meagre calls for “talk” and male tears?

What about men’s early death?

How do we save our men and boys?

Holy shit. Men actually die from a birth majority into a living minority.

How is this not a huge thing, and why is everyone supposed to be so comfortable with it?

How are we supposed to take seriously the claim of society "privileging" men, when there's no greater privilege than being alive? With "empathy"/"anyone giving a shit" not far behind?

One thing about canto VI is like. I see so many people predicting it'll be about Fighting Evil Wife or Breaking Codependent Toxic Relationship and I just kinda think that would suck? If the major theme isn't grief AND love and the way both are seen as like Kinda Weird/inappropriate in the setting of the city. Then I'll be very sad.

Cannibal Syzoth has been on my draw list for a while now, mmm.

He gave in to his temptations and instincts. I wonder which poor sap he ate? Doesn't matter, they were tasty~

He's a messy eater~

I like to hc Jadus is like. a Sith parasite. someone who became so warped by the dark side that they don't even resemble what they used to be or anything mortal (instead of just going to the beach that makes you old). the definition of something that looks like a Sith, acts like a Sith, and resembles one in order to fool others and worm their way amongst their ranks, but clearly has become something that merely mimics them now. His body is incorporeal, his mind in a different time and place; so steeped in the dark side is he that he barely qualifies as any kind of species but rather an individual offshoot of the Force, shed like a lizard's tail.

He may have been a man once. That doesn't matter now.
