There are any number of dictionaries and encyclopedias that will give you what they believe are definitive definitions, but I think this says it best...
You read that correctly. The World Health Organization will rename the increasingly spreading monkeypox virus after a group of scientists claimed the name could be “stigmatizing.”
“WHO is also working with partners and experts from around the world on changing the name of monkeypox virus,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus announced at a press briefing Tuesday. “We will make announcements about the new names as soon as possible.”
Dropping the monkeypox label follows a letter from a group of 30 international scientists that wrote last week the “urgent need” to switch the name.
“Given the increasingly rapid communication of, and attention to, the international human MPXV outbreak, it is important to consider an appropriate, non-discriminatory, and non-stigmatizing nomenclature and classification of MPXV clades,” part of the letter states.
If you had tried to make something like this up, your brain would have exploded before you got to it. Juss' sayin'...

Microsoft has announced it will finally, once and for all kill off its
much-maligned legacy internet browser Internet Explorer close to 27 years after it graced desktop computers in 1995. Startingt today, the desktop app will be disabled and users will be redirected to Microsoft’s Edge browser instead.
Internet Explorer was the gateway to the internet for people born prior to Generation Z, in an era when Microsoft dominated the tech world, before Google, Facebook and TikTok, and when the browser had to be installed on to computers using a CD-rom.
It was full of glitches, pitfalls and traps and was so susceptible to so many viruses, hijackings and malware, most savvy users dumped it years ago. It's just taken the software behemoth this long to realize how much it really did suck.
... That is just an insane stat.

Boy ain't that the truth. Throw in the melt-down on Wall Street in the last coupla weeks and ya come to realize we really are getting our asses kicked in this 'Biden Economy'. Thanks, Joe - yer doin' a fantabulous job...

When you think 'affordable groceries' you might think about going to Walmart, right? Well, maybe it's time time re-think that, too...
Before Biden took office, these very same boneless, skinless chicken breasts sold for $ 1.99 a pound. You cannot tell me that covid
did this to the price. Almost tripled in price in one year?

"Can you remember what our economy looked like when we took office? Three thousand Americans were dying every day from COVID. Twenty million Americans had lost their jobs under the last guy.
In fact, so many Americans lost their jobs that my predecessor became just the second president in history to leave office with fewer jobs in America than when he took office."
What will history say about your tenure, Joe?

John Szczecina, the manager of a Shell station in Rancho Cordova, put the price - which should have been $6.99 for a gallon of premium - at just 69 cents.
'Well, it was a mistake,' said Szczecina. 'And I thought, "this is a nightmare"'
People started spreading word about the low prices on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and people started lining up.
'So I just took responsibility for it and I said 'yeah it's my fault, and I'm to blame,' Szczecina said.
The mistake ended up costing the Shell station nearly $20,000 and cost Szczecina his job.
... The speech before the AFL-CIO convention in Philadelphia was the president's attempt to reset the terms of the debate on the economy as his own approval ratings have slid while consumer prices - and the cost of gasoline - have surged.
'Since I took office, with your help, families are carrying less debt nationwide. They have more savings nationwide,' Biden said. But despite the president's pronouncements, data from the Federal Reserve shows that household debt has increased by over $1.5 trillion since Biden took office in January 2021, so who does he think he's bullshitting - besides himself?
