The CHOP/CHAZ has suffered an immense amount of misinformation about it. Believe me, living in that neighborhood a block from where that was going down, the problem was not the protesters and half the shit they said protesters were doing was fear mongering. For one, crime rate in that area was actually *lower* than normal for 2020. For two, most of the violence was happening due to police aggression. For three, the 'militant protesters' didn't exist or were counter-protesters trying to antagonize the peaceful protests happening there.

I mean, other than the idiot teenagers and the anti-science supporters of the GOP, everyone knows that frogs and toads are the canary in the coal mine... and this means we are in seriously deep sh*t.

I have no idea how true this is, but perhaps the climate and pollution, etc. not being as significant of factors as this disease means the idea that frogs are an indicator of environmental health isn't as true anymore?
