a glitch led to a very concise thumbnail

A glitch in the Bluesky video player led to the message "An error occurred," superposed on top of a video of a Mets fielder trying and failing to pick up a ball at first base, as the batter-runner is ultimately safe on a ball where both ball and fielder beat him to the base by a country mile.

actually, come to think of it... this is surprising

A search results page on metal-archives.com, a website with a catalogue of nearly 200,000 metal bands from around the world, showing 0 search results for "Hantavirus."

As a matter of fact, there are no bands OR albums listed with that name. The only result in the metal-archives catalogue is a song called "Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome" by the band Blasted Pancreas, off their 2022 album Pathogenic Organisms in Blood.

"Think it's too far-fetched?" "Not enough, really."

Calvin and Hobbes strip, with the following poem:
"The aliens came
From a far distant world
In a large yellow ship
That blinked as it twirled.
It rounded the moon
And entered our sky
We knew they had come
But we didn't know why
Bright the next morning
With noisy commotion,
The ship moved
Out over the ocean.
It lowered a tube
And drained the whole sea
For transport back home
To their galaxy.
The tube then sucked up
The clouds and the air,
Causing no small amount
Of earthling despair.
With nothing to breathe
We started to die
'Help us! Please stop!'
Was the public outcry
A hatch opened up
And the aliens said,
'We're sorry to learn
That soon you'll be dead,
But though you may find
This slightly macabre,
We prefer your extinction
To the loss of our job.'"

this was 11 years ago, and it's hard for the words not to be brought back to mind. i don't think the question answers itself! and i don't think the question can be ignored.

Headline and dek from Jeffrey Goldberg's April 2015 cover story for the Atlantic: "Is It Time for the Jews to
Leave Europe? For half a century, memories of the Holocaust inoculated the Continent against overt anti-Semitism. That period has ended the recent fatal attacks in Paris and Copenhagen are merely the latest in a mounting tide. Today, right-wing fascist strains of Jew-hatred are merging with a new threat from radicalized Islamists,
confronting Europe with a crisis, and its Jews with an agonizing choice."

to quote a new york mets fan,

Cover art for the Yo La Tengo album "I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass."

The band's name comes from a story about the language gap in the 1962 New York Mets outfield, where catchable balls would drop between fielders when one of them didn't know that the Spanish phrase meaning "I got it" is "Yo la tengo."

The pragmatic argument for pluralism is as compelling as the moral one!

“It means that we need to target some of our interventions — educational interventions — to these groups if we want to have effects,” Saxe said. “If you only engage the Caucasian students, you’re not going to be addressing the problem.”
