The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a study Friday suggesting that people wear masks to protect themselves from monkeypox despite growing evidence the virus is transmitted sexually.

Fatima Sherefa, 17, had a rough night at Toronto’s Pearson Airport on Aug. 6.
Her flight from Toronto home to Winnipeg had been delayed several times and then, just after midnight, it was cancelled.
Sherefa says Air Canada staff didn’t offer hotel accommodation for the night, and instead passed out yoga mats to stranded travellers.

The president and vice president of the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers defended a contract provision that states white teachers would be laid off first in a Friday appearance on ABC.
“This contract language was something that we are, first of all, extremely proud of for achieving but it also doesn’t go far enough,” Greta Callahan, president of the teachers’ union, told “GMA3” host Amy Robach. “We need to support and retain our educators, especially those who are underrepresented, and this language does one tiny, minuscule step towards that but doesn’t solve the real crisis we’re in right now.”

A golfer is poised to become the first transgender woman to earn a Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) tour card after beating much of her competition in the first two qualifying rounds.
Hailey Davidson, 29, had a strong finish in the first two rounds of the first stage of the LPGA and Epson Tour Qualifying School in Palm Springs this week.
So you may be asking, what moron could possibly be oblivious enough to support GoF work on the Spanish Flu while the world is still dealing with the nightmare that is COVID? The answer should not be surprising and is here:

San Francisco, Cleveland and Portland have the most deserted downtowns in the US as soaring crime rates in the Democratic cities scare away workers and tourists.
In a recent study by the Institute of Governmental Studies at the University of California Berkeley, San Francisco’s downtown area was found to be only 31 percent active over the spring of 2022 when compared to pre-pandemic levels, with Cleveland at 36 percent and Portland at 41 percent.
Meanwhile, cities like Salt Lake City, Utah, Bakersfield, California and Columbus Ohio are enjoying the fastest comeback, seeing their downtown activity go up by more than 110 percent since 2019.

The owner of a historic church in Ottawa’s Lowertown neighbourhood is evicting a group with ties to the ‘Freedom Convoy’ occupation planning to purchase the property this fall, in an apparent dispute over unpaid rent for the facility.
A “Notice of Termination of Tenant” notice on the front door of St. Brigid’s Church on St. Patrick Street says the landlord has terminated the occupancy of the United People of Canada under the Commercial Tenancies Act, and the locks will be changed.
Previous articles stated the group had purchased the Church it appears they were not planning to do so until the fall.
Gen. Michael Hayden, the former head of the CIA and NSA, believes that you, dear readers, are more dangerous than ISIS, Communist China, and N. Korea — if you’re a Republican, that is. He said so explicitly in a retweet of a comment from Edward Luce, the blue-check assistant editor of the Financial Times, who wrote, “I’ve covered extremism and violent ideologies around the world over my career. Have never come across a political force more nihilistic, dangerous & contemptible than today’s Republicans. Nothing close.”

RCMP buff in Ontario spent 2 weeks in jail following N.S. massacre
Warren Thwing collects model trains and Avro Arrow paraphernalia, posters and stamps. The keepsakes at his home in Kingston, Ont., span aviation, hockey, Star Trek and car racing. But by far his biggest haul is of RCMP memorabilia.
“I have always been a lover of the Mounties,” he said in an interview with CBC News. “I wanted to join the RCMP years ago, but I was that short on the height requirement — it was five foot eight, and I was a half-inch short.”
Who the hell makes this sort of decision?

Posters against the group setting up shop in the former St. Brigid’s church in Lowertown will have to come down because they violate city bylaws, according to the head of Ottawa Bylaw and Regulatory Services.
The posters said, “St. Brigid’s belongs to our community not to the convoy.”
… The posters point to a Horizon Ottawa petition calling for the city to step in and find another buyer or buy the property itself.
Ottawa must be inhabited by Canada’s communist party.
The convoy group purchased the church but the creeps want it confiscated.
What country do they think live in?

Why does the actor still have such a hold on film executives?

If Warner Brothers’ expensive superhero film The Flash is released next summer — and does not follow the fate of this year’s Batgirl, which has been summarily canceled — it will be fascinating to watch what the publicity circus does with its leading man. Or, to be more exact, leading human, as its star Ezra Miller has dismissed conventional ideas of being pigeonholed as anything conventional. They declared in 2018 that, “Queer just means no, I don’t do that. I don’t identify as a man. I don’t identify as a woman. I barely identify as a human.”

There’s been a debate about how monkeypox is being transmitted since it first began making headlines in the US back in May. Eventually the conclusion seen in most public health warnings was that monkeypox was being spread by close skin-to-skin contact which naturally happens during sex. But today, NBC News reports on some new evidence which suggests it’s not skin contact but sex between men which is the main way the virus is spreading.
