“We laugh so we do not cry.”
I’ve been following H5N1 pretty closely for several months and one of the first things I did on Lemmy was set up a community to post news stories to. !h5n1_avianflu@lemmy.sdf.org
5 more of the deceased cats in Poland were confirmed today to have died of H5N1 for a total of 34 now. There was a report that one of the owners provided a sample of raw chicken that had been fed to the cats, and it tested positive for H5N1. This was almost immediately followed up by a very defensive press conference with the Polish government insisting it wasn’t true; Poland supplies about 20% of the European market for chicken. Make of that what you will.
That none of the owners got sick is great news, but no one should be breathing easy about what’s happening globally. :|
That was my issue with it too! Xenomorphs are supposed to evolve, not DEvolve. Why would it trade chitin for skin? Made no sense.
Even though I hated it, I still bought it on Blu-ray. 🤪 I should take the shrinkwrap off and watch it. Maybe it won’t seem as bad now.
I sometimes feel like one of the only people who actually liked Alien 3, taken on its own. If you wanted Aliens 2 you were going to go away disappointed, but the storyline was very much like something out of the comics. Aliens: Sacrifice is one of my favorite graphic novels and it has a really similar feel to Alien 3.
Look, I’m a huge Aliens fan. I even own a 3-sheet poster from Alien. I have minis from the tabletop RPG, comics, etc. etc.
I’ve only seen Alien: Resurrection once, in the theater, and never again. I hated the Alien with its human skin and stuff. Hated it SO much.
And now it looks like they’re gonna do that again? 😭
I have 3 young-and-not-so-young adult children (big gap between them) and I have found myself wanting to apologize to them so many times for bringing them into this shit show. I really didn’t know it was going to get this bad. As a child of the 70’s I was promised a world of ecologically and socially conscious people by now. Welp…
Yeah, it’s a bad, bad time to be a wild bird right now, or anything that eats them. The list of mammals who’ve died from it is growing, and sea lions are getting wiped out by the thousands. I think only Australia and Antarctica are still virus-free (for now).
It doesn’t keep me up at night, but I’m definitely watching!
