UNMC Transmission: "Novel way to beat dengue: Deaf mosquitoes stop having sex"

"BBC Scientists believe they have found a quirky way to fight mosquito-spread diseases such as dengue, yellow fever and Zika – by turning male insects deaf so they struggle to mate and breed.

Mosquitoes have sex while flying in mid-air and the males rely on hearing to chase down a female, based on her attractive wingbeats."

My husband and grandsons who voted for the first time this year went golfing today and our one grandson is just absolutely incredulous that a convicted felon and an adjudicated rapist is even allowed on the ballot. Needless to say when we voted early, he voted for freedom, values, morals and character.

Donald Trump Jr. joked he might flee to a "non-extradition country" if his father loses the election, hinting at paranoia over potential legal consequences. This half-serious threat underscores the Trump camp's fear of accountability. If they genuinely see American justice as a "gulag," it reveals just how little faith they have in their own integrity.

HAPPENING NOW: A federal judge in #Georgia has thrown out the RNC's claim that Georgia counties broke the law by accepting absentee ballots over the weekend.

The judge says their complaint lacked a "basic level of statutory review and reading comprehension."

Honest to God, why isn’t Ken Paxton in prison?!?

and let me tell you something. we, kazakh people, are neighbors with russia too. if russia wins and swallows ukraine whole, it will create a precedent where nobody of the nations colonized by russia can even be remotely safe again. this empire tried to kill us and bleed us dry, and i do not want them to be emboldened to make a comeback. enough of that shit. we lived centuries underneath them.

Convicted felon Donald Trump has to thank NY for being able to vote today!

Under Florida law, if a voter has an out-of-state conviction, Florida will defer to that state’s laws for how a felon can regain his or her voting rights.

For Trump, that means he will benefit from a 2021 New York law that allows people with felony convictions to vote as long as they’re not serving a term of incarceration at the time of the election

I now have to sit through a 2 hour conflict of interest training telling me I cannot accept gifts from students worth more than $15 and I cannot sell teaching resources I have made for my students, knowing full well how corrupt those in charge are.

Russia entering election day to try to help Trump. "Several non-credible bomb threats that briefly disrupted voting at two Georgia polling places originated from Russia. The non-credible threats caused the temporary closure of polling places in Union City, just outside of Atlanta, according to Fulton County Police. Union City’s population is nearly 90% Black, according to the US Census Bureau."

I voted for America, not Russia, so I voted for Democrats. #VoteBlue

Via Sahil Kapur:

Repubs believe can get several more #SCOTUS justices if #Trump wins & they capture Senate, which would give him FIVE justices. Thomas (76), Alito (74) are seen as prime candidates for retirement if GOP sweeps.

Neither candidate wants to talk about it, but the stakes today for the SCOTUSs future are huge. A GOP win could cement this majority for another generation or 2. A Dem win could protect theirs or shrink this majority. Divided gov’t means a R Sen. could stymie Harris

Elon Musk says he’ll shut down X if Kamala wins. If you didn’t have a reason to vote for her before, you definitely do now.
