GOOD NEWS! A UNIVERSAL sarbecovirus vaccine candidate has officially started clinical trials! GBP511 is the FIRST vaccine to reach human testing that is intended to protect against MULTIPLE strains of SARS-CoV-2 as well as other related coronaviruses with the potential to spark dangerous outbreaks.

Just because good news is worth celebrating:

There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.

HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

Alright, where are my gifted kids at? You were smart and you never had to study and then you went to college and suddenly had to learn a new skillset overnight, that everybody else had years to learn, or flame out spectacularly?

That’s what talent is like.

I'm not sure about recommending it when everyone is so depressed. But yes watch it. If you have the boxset/blue ray set, they are great.

The Knowth Macehead on display in the National Museum of Ireland. It is a small, rounded piece of flint. Variegated in colour between brown, beige and a greyish tint. It is decorated with megalithic art.

The Knowth Macehead • c.3300-2800 BC

It has been described as one of the greatest surviving artworks from Neolithic Europe.

All six sides of the flint macehead are delicately decorated. From this view, it appears like a human face, with the hole for the shaft as a mouth.

Yup. This is also why I get annoyed when people start suggesting "golden age" science fiction titles to people who are new the genre and are asking for suggestions. You want to turn a modern 15-year-old off science fiction forever, recommend stories that were old when her grandparents were her age.

'We're seeing eviction rates not seen in Ireland since the 1850s' The issuing of 5,000 eviction notices in three months last year is quite revealing when viewed against Ireland's historical record

Bord Bia chair Larry Murrin tells Oireachtas Ag Cmte his company Dawn Farm Foods only imports about 1% of its beef, solely to ensure it can fulfil orders if Irish supplies were interrupted.

Farmers' groups and opposition say his importing of Brazilian beef is incompatible with being Bord Bia chair.

Shitty people can make good and even great art. Likewise, dropping a favorite artist after you realize you can no longer support them can feel like a divorce or a friend breakup because they and their work were just that important to you. That shit hurts, even when it's necessary for you.

EU plan to share data with US border force sparks surveillance fears Washington is demanding access to sensitive data as ICE heightens fears in Europe.

🚨🚨Given current situation and with the sharply deteriorating situation in #trumpland, I think it is unwise, imprudent and just a very bad idea for the EU to go ahead with plans to grant #US border authorities unprecedented access to Europeans’ data. 🧵
