Interesting article. The author of the book is Luke Kemp but he sure looks like a Chad to me.

Talk about burying the lede. Scientists in Brazil are trying to fight Dengue Fever by spreading mosquitos that have been injected with a bacteria called Wolbachia. Apparently dengue and Wolbachia cannot coexist in mosquitos, so they are neutralizing the threat of the spread of dengue by spreading Wolbachia-laden mosquitos. They injected the bacteria by hand into a gazillion mosquito eggs (and you thought your job sucked) and are now going to put these eggs out into the world.

There are also two vaccines for Dengue Fever but misinformation campaigns during COVID have created vaccine-skepticism so they're concerned that not enough people will get the vaccine and that their hospital system, already operating at 100 - 110% capacity, will be overwhelmed.

Even worse - a guy who lives in a big, white house asking it of a guy who lives in a van down by the river.

Worse - socialism, and possibly Marxism!

I'm not familiar with this politician but I appreciate his answer to the question.

Well it took over 1100 gallons of gas to get to that point

 

From the linked GameSpot article:

"8BitDo has revealed the successor to its popular Pro 2 Bluetooth Controller. Officially called the Pro 3 Bluetooth Gamepad, the upcoming controller retains the form factor of the Pro 2 while implementing some of the enhanced features found in the Ultimate 2 Bluetooth, such as TMR joysticks and trigger locks. It also has a few entirely new features not found on other 8BitDo controllers, including swappable magnetic face buttons and an extra pair of arcade-inspired ball-top stick caps.

The 8BitDo Pro 3 Bluetooth Gamepad is available to preorder now at Amazon for $70 ahead of its August 12 release. It comes in three retro-themed colors: G Classic, Gray, and a shade of purple that pays homage to the Nintendo GameCube. All three models come with matching charging docks and a set ball-top arcade stick toppers that can be swapped in for the traditional rubberized caps. Out of the box, the Pro 3 is compatible with Switch 2, Switch, PC, Android, Apple devices, and Steam Deck."
