A DOGE kid gets beat up in DC and it’s DefCon1; hundreds of bullets into federal buildings with officer killed in Atlanta and it’s crickets; violent mob attacks Capitol wounding dozens of officers and it’s pardons for all.

How conspiracy theories about COVID’s origins are hampering our ability to prevent the next pandemic The COVID pandemic likely began when the virus jumped from animals to humans, and didn’t start in a lab. But false narratives continue to circulate.

The politically weaponized "lab leak" theory is destroying both pandemic preparedness & all of American science.

Grateful to @kgandersen.bsky.social, @arambaut.bsky.social, @eddieholmes.bsky.social, & Bob Garry for their courage & commitment to our field.

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.

There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

Everyday! This is a great idea- he thinks this is going away. The problem he has is that he has taught his followers to hold on to old stories, rumors, conspiracies for decades. He just never thought they would hold onto this one once he said “Ignore the man behind the curtain! Pay no attention!”

I don't care if Bill Clinton, Dolly Parton or Jesus Christ himself is implicated in the Epstein files. Anyone who committed such crimes should burn. I believe that because I'm not in a cult.

French President Macron says France will recognize Palestine as a state French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will recognize Palestine as a state, amid snowballing global anger over people starving in Gaza.

Concentration Camp Duty: The Last SS Guard Gregor Formanke stood guard in Sachsenhausen. Jerzy Zawadzki was nine years old, and a prisoner. When Formanek is indicted at age 99, their lives intersect once more.

He was the last SS guard, about to be tried when he died at 100. Let this warn the ICE agents who think they are only guards, following orders. Your masked crimes against humans and humanity will mark you to the end of your days.

And men dosed with abnormal amounts of testosterone tend to be emotionally labile with a tendency to violence. What proportion of law enforcement officers are taking testosterone? See Hoberman’s book “Dopers in Uniform”.

Indeed.

With men taking easy to get testosterone, anabolic steroids, and SARMS — with no supervision.. a lot of men are fucking up their hormones and bodies FOR LIFE.

And many who start then have to be on the drugs for life.

I saw a lot of this in Texas.

Yo DonOLD, is this in the Epstein files?! Inquiring minds want to know!

I've been reading John Higgs' book on the KLF. It's a story that I've been intrigued in for years, that whole episode (not just the money burning). Anyway, in celebration of finishing it, please enjoy this and in particular the feet of the daleks, which are hilarious

Quick thread on the WHO's SAGO report on the origins of COVID-19, highlighting key points and even *new* data.

Their summary is that a zoonotic origin of COVID-19 is best supported by available data. This is consistent with most scientific reviews and statements in the rest of the literature.

Disagree - the botanicals in gin are therapeutic. Plymouth Gin, Naval Strength, is proven effective.

The MAHA Report Cites Studies That Don’t Exist The Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” report misinterprets some studies and cites others that don’t exist, according to the listed authors.

Some key nuance to add to this after talking to colleagues and digging into the literature.

What we're observing is indeed unprecedented and I am still very worried Mpox, in the years to come, could likely lead to larger epidemics, however, my comment about "no sexual network" may be incorrect.
