In documents posted online, FDA scientists say many Americans now have “sufficient preexisting immunity” against the coronavirus because of vaccination, infection or a combination of the two. That baseline of protection should be enough to move to an annual booster against the latest strains in circulation and make COVID-19 vaccinations more like the yearly flu shot, according to the agency. | |

Big Tech layoffs are in the news, you say?
On January 20th, 1998, Netscape laid off a lot of people. One of them would have been me, as my "department", such as it was, had been eliminated, but I ended up mometarily moving from "clienteng" over to the "website" division. For about 48 hours I thought that I might end up writing a webmail product or something.
That, uh, didn't happen.
At 8am on January 22, 1998, Netscape put out a press release announcing that the source code to the web browser would be released to the public at the end of March. This was the first that I had heard that this was even being considered.
Lacking any coherent information or direction from management (spoiler alert, there was no plan! none!) a handful of us in the trenches had some impromptu meetings, which began something like:
"What the fuck, I mean what the actual fuck?"
"I thought you got fired? Someone told me you were fired."
"I don't think I'm fired, are you fired?" "I don't think so?"
"Ok so are we doing this? I guess we're doing this?"
"We're doing what now?"
"I got this."
So then I registered the domain mozilla.org. According to WHOIS, the registration went live on January 23rd at 9pm. | |

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) is the latest extremist the Sunshine State has sent to Congress.
Luna has a strange biography that includes recently suing a political rival for accusing her of witchcraft.
She’s spent more time in court than most—with limited success.
After her unsuccessful 2020 congressional run, Luna filed a complaint against Twitter with the Federal Election Commission for not verifying her account, then sued the FEC when it didn’t investigate. She subsequently agreed to dismiss the suit.
She had better luck convincing a court not to hold her liable for her husband’s service dog biting a young boy, however.
Luna’s online history paints an even more vivid, and odd, picture.
At some point, Luna wiped her primary Twitter account of all but one of her thousands of tweets prior to 2022.
Given the contents, it was a wise move for the Turning Point USA and PragerU alum to delete them. | |

A former senior FBI counterintelligence official who spearheaded the Trump-Russia probe was arrested and charged over his own alleged ties to a sanctioned Russian oligarch amid the war in Ukraine.
Charles McGonigal, the former special agent in charge of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division in New York who retired in 2018, is charged with violating U.S. sanctions by agreeing to provide services to Oleg Deripaska, a sanctioned Russian oligarch. He was charged alongside Sergey Shestakov, a former Soviet and Russian diplomat who later became a U.S. citizen and a Russian interpreter for courts and government offices, through a five-count indictment unsealed in Manhattan federal court Monday.
McGonigal and Shestakov both were arrested Saturday. The indictment is a rare move by federal prosecutors to bring charges against a former senior FBI official before a federal grand jury. | |
