Gas prices keep falling in Los Angeles and California – Los Angeles Times

In Los Angeles, the average price of gas Tuesday fell by about 4 cents from the day prior, to $6.36 a gallon, a significant day-over-day drop that the metro area hasn’t seen in about a decade, said Marie Montgomery Nordhues, a spokesperson for the Southern California branch of the American Automobile Assn. She said the last time L.A. had this large of a one-day price drop was “almost exactly 10 years ago” when then-Gov. Jerry Brown had also recently switched the state to its winter-blend gas early, as Gov. Gavin Newsom did last week following steep price increases due to gas supply issues.

Experts say the state’s winter-blend is easier and cheaper for refineries to produce, though still specific to California’s more stringent environmental regulations.

A tangled web: 42% of Americans ignored COVID precautions or lied about taking them | CIDRAP

The most common reasons for ignoring guidelines were wanting life to feel normal and desiring to exercise personal freedom. Other reasons cited include thinking COVID-19 was a hoax or not a major issue, believing that their behavior was no one else’s concern, not having symptoms, following the advice of a celebrity or other public figure, not wanting to miss work to quarantine, and not wanting someone to judge or think badly of them.

Significantly higher odds of misrepresentation or nonadherence to at least one measure were seen in people younger than 60 years (eg, odds ratio [OR] for 18- to 29-year-olds, 4.87) and those with greater distrust of science (OR, 1.14).

“Greater disbelief in science has been an important factor associated with nonadherence to health behaviors during the pandemic (eg, masking, vaccination uptake) and beyond,” the researchers wrote. “These groups may represent an important focus for efforts to address misrepresentation and nonadherence.”

Roughly 60% of participants reported seeking advice from a doctor on COVID-19 prevention or treatment. There was no link between COVID-19 untruthfulness and political beliefs or affiliation or religion.

Consequences of dishonesty

The authors noted that while public health measures can dramatically quell the spread and impact of disease, they can have substantial psychological, social, financial, and physical costs that can threaten adherence.

“Future work is needed to examine strategies for communicating the consequences of misrepresentation and nonadherence and to address contributing factors,” they wrote.

In a University of Utah news release, co-first author Andrea Gurmankin Levy, PhD, of Middlesex Community College, said that COVID-19 dishonesty can lead to greater transmission of the virus in communities. “For some people, particularly before we had COVID vaccines, that can mean death,” she said.

Senior author Angela Fagerlin, PhD, of the University of Utah, said that some people may think dodging the truth about COVID-19 once or twice is no big deal. “But if, as our study suggests, nearly half of us are doing it, that’s a significant problem that contributes to prolonging the pandemic,” she said in the release.

Medo

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

O medo nunca é concreto, é uma projeção do indefinido, do desconhecido que por vezes nos paralisa. Mas gerindo e estimulando a memória, a gente consegue decifrar o que nos consome. E, conseguindo reeditar a maneira de pensar a respeito de algo ou alguma coisa que nos prende diante do novo, saímos da prisão estressante que é mãe de nossos dramas, perdas e fobias. Portanto, ao perceber que você recua diante do medo, pense. Ouse sair de todas as preocupações que te impedem de executar o que o que necessário, e fazer fluir a vida.

‘Raw smarm’ is not a descriptor a person should aspire to — Filosofa’s Word

Originally posted on musingsofanoldfart: Smarm is not a good word to be described as. As a verb, it means the following: “behave in an ingratiating way in order to gain favor.” Synonyms for the term including being “obsequious, sycophantic or servile.” This term was used to define the Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy by…

STOP THE WAR!!!

[Nothing But] Flowers – Talking Heads

Here we stand
Like an Adam and an Eve
Waterfalls
The Garden of Eden
Two fools in love
So beautiful and strong
The birds in the trees
Are smiling upon them
From the age of the dinosaurs
Cars have run on gasoline
Where, where have they gone?
Now, it’s nothing but flowers

There was a factory
Now there are mountains and rivers
You got it, you got it

We caught a rattlesnake
Now we got something for dinner
We got it, we got it

There was a shopping mall
Now it’s all covered with flowers
You’ve got it, you’ve got it

If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawnmower
You’ve got it, you’ve got it

Years ago
I was an angry young man
And I’d pretend
That I was a billboard
Standing tall
By the side of the road

Timothy Snyder: The Coming Power Struggle in Russia

Diane Ravitch's blog

Timothy Snyder is a political scientist at Yale who has written incisive books about fascism. In this essay, he describes a scenario that will bring Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to an end.

He does not believe that Putin will deploy nuclear weapons. He believes that the humiliating retreat of Russian soldiers on the battlefield will produce power struggles in Russia. The mercenaries that Putin has relied on from Chechnya and the Wagner Group (a neo-fascist militia) are unlikely to put their best troops at risk when the Russian military is retreating. The consequences will not be favorable for Putin.
