Steve Albini died? Holy Fuck!

My mom died recently, and I gotta say that the unrelenting stream of Mother’s Day-themed ads (“Buy your mom this!” “Treat your mom to that!”) is starting to feel like harassment.

RIP Albini, who died at 61. He was an a**hole for the right reasons, after he grew up a little:
> “However you define ‘woke,’ anti-woke means being a cunt who wants to indulge bigots,” he wrote recently – but these days he also says things like: “Life is hard on everybody and there’s no excuse for making it harder. I’ve got the easiest job on earth, I’m a straight white dude, fuck me if I can’t make space for everybody else.”

Hunger is most acute in the north, where at least 20 people — almost all children — have died from malnutrition and dehydration. That's according to Gaza's Health Ministry. But also in the south, where access to aid is more regular, particularly vulnerable children a…

Texas Surgeon Is Accused of Secretly Denying Liver Transplants
A Houston hospital is investigating whether a doctor altered a transplant list to make his patients ineligible for care. A disproportionate number of them have died while waiting for new organs.

Has there ever been a Brazilian butt lift that was a success story? It seems like a whole lot of them end up with the patient dead. If Republicans want to ban a surgical procedure that's *actually* fraught with danger and regret, maybe they should target this one instead of gender affirming procedures.

While suicides, homicides, cars have significant impacts on the disparity, diseases of poverty play a role as well: " Native American children died from pneumonia and the flu at three times the rate of white children, for example, and Black children died from asthma at almost eight times the rate of white children."
It's shameful

Widening Racial Disparities Underlie Rise in Child Deaths in the U.S.
New research finds that the death rate among Black youths soared by 37 percent, and among Native American youths by 22 percent, between 2014 and 2020, compared with less than 5 percent for white youths.
