A reminder that Measles is an airborne disease. And that Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) mitigations against Measles work against Covid and all the other airborne diseases as well.

Most excellent article about the Monroe Doctrine. And Trump's Donroe Doctrine.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/feb/15/trump-bad-bunny-monroe-doctrine

I'm reminded again. NAFTA should be expanded. One Single Market, Customs Union, freedom of movement and trade for everywhere in the Americas North of the Equator. And later everywhere south as well.

Re Measles in Enfield and elsewhere in the UK.

The rise of anti-vax and the decline in uptake of the routine childhood vaccinations is an astonishing failure of basic primary healthcare and education. That is turning into a crisis.

So many diseases on the rise since 2020. Not helped by the NHS, UKHSA, JCVI current policy on the continuing pandemic of "Vax Only", "Vax and Relax". With no Vax.

What is it about Far-Right, Reform, and their Covid-Denial and Anti-vax promotion?

Once upon a time there was a directory of OPML files, long since gone. Does anyone still actively use them?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPML

If you still use an RSS/Atom reader regularly, do you publish your list of feeds as OPML anywhere?

A long long time ago, I created a simple OPML browser. You can find it here.

The attempt to bring 20 year old Drupal code up to latest php standards is progressing fairly well. 90% done. Only 90% left to do. I might actually be able to turn the blog back on in a week or two.

In the mean time, my cocktail stamp collecting of recipes is here.

Feels a little like last.fm or librarything or something. "You last enjoyed this cocktail 2 years go." People like you also enjoyed the "Hague", Noilly instead of Cocchi, no Angostura and a cherry.

Endeavour or Betrayal? Whatever, I'm thoroughly enjoying Shaun Evans in his latest. An also this weird drink. Made with 10ml of Elixir instead of the usual 15ml of Chartreuse.

- Sloppy Joe

50ml Light Rum, 20ml Dry Vermouth, 20ml Lime, 10ml Curacao, 5ml Grenadine

Friends with the El Presidente, from the same 30s Havana bar of the same name.

Also known as The American President, but we won't speak of that.

- Ocean Shore:

30ml Sloe Gin, 30ml Gin, 20ml Lime, 20ml Grenadine, 15ml Egg White (optional)

Not unpleasant but a bit weird. And a muddy brown colour like the UK shore line.

2 weeks to go till the Gorton & Denton by-election. And still no clarity on whether Labour or Green are most likely to beat Reform UK. Is it really a 3 horse race that's up in the air?
https://stopreformuk.vote/parl/gorton-and-denton

Labour and Greens fighting each other as much as Reform.

Get the Vote Out, especially the youth vote. Vote!

- Queens #3

50ml Gin, 25ml Red Vermouth, 25ml Dry Vermouth, 30ml Pineapple

There are lots of these and they all basically taste of pineapple with shaken pineapple froth on top. As it's old we'll put it down to covering the taste of bathtub gin. There's even one called "Invisible Gin" with a bit of ginger in there,

Moto2 testing in Portimao today and tomorrow. No obvious coverage anywhere. Not even PR on x-fka-twitter from the teams. Rained off as well?

Only one bike on circuit.

Then there's the post-festival RonaChondria. Is that sore throat just 3 days of camping in a dusty field and stage smoke or something worse? We'll know in a couple of days.

Best T-Shirt. DJ on-stage. Black T with one word in huge white letters "WHAT?". Very Pulp Fiction.
