GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.

People discuss how things may have to be reconciled in America if we have the chance to recover the system from the perverse actions taking place. The first order is for public officials to actually execute the tasks as Constitutional officers that they demured last time. It has to be done.

Literally they've shot two people in Chicago alone, we're all unbelievably fortunate the woman they shot last fucking weekend survived

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Just in case you are curious - and my God you should be - about the dude Wes Streeting and others are handing loads of public data contracts to. 👇

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

A lotta folks have been warning for YEARS that govt subsidies encouraging US farmers to invest near-exclusively in two crops (soybeans and corn) could have catastrophic consequences.

Most were thinking climate-change implications (making these crops ungrowable) but here’s a self-inflicted one!

Feel free to attribute the following to a former OMB General Counsel: The supposed "new legal analysis" is, to use a technical legal term, horseshit. What the law actually says is that when Congress enacts a law ending a lapse, furloughed employees get paid at the earliest date possible. Period.

Screenshot of an Express article; it says: Robert Jenrick lists 30 'activist judges' he vows to axe in war on UK's open border In a bold move, Robert Jenrick is set to unveil a controversial plan targeting what he calls 'activist' judges, at the Conservative Party conference.

I say this with the bluntness it requires: they will get people murdered if this continues. This is not just populism anymore either: it’s completely unhinged and a deliberate choice that does endanger lives. I am not saying this lightly at all.

This is one of the great threads.

There is a fantastic futility to organising the under-5s non-fiction section in a public library, for I fear that its users may not yet fully appreciate the genius of the Dewey Decimal System.

Kaepernick-Funded Autopsy Reportedly Finds Trey Reed Didn’t Die by Suicide — Family Attorney Ben Crump Hasn’t Confirmed According to a source who isn't authorized to comment publicly, the autopsy of Trey Reed reveals that his death was not caused by a suicide.

Trey Reed, a student at Delta State University in Mississippi, was found hanging from a noose. Mississippi police ruled the death a suicide. Now an autopsy reportedly concludes that he suffered extensive blunt force trauma across his body before he died, meaning he was beaten before he was lynched.

Pt1 🧵: Greta Thunberg deported to Athens says, "There's a live-streamed Genocide in front of our eyes in Gaza. No one will be able to say they didn't know this was happening. The Global Samud Flotilla only existed because our leaders failed. Our international systems are betraying Palestinians."

Pt2🧵: Greta Thunberg deported to Athens says, "Global Samud Flotilla are not heroes. Our mistreatment by Israel is not the story. We need more than humanitarian aid to Gaza, we need to stop the decades-long siege. The violence of 'business as usual.' Genocides fueled by our own governments."

I’ll have a lot more detail about this apparently random encounter in the next edition of @bylinetimes.bsky.social

Pretend you’re 65 & act accordingly: save your pennies, visit friends, enjoy slow walks in your neighborhood, shrug your shoulders at old beef between family & friends, grow a garden, forgive people because they’re “still young” even if they’re not but hold all politicians accountable. Get a cat.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a new mRNA vaccine that has been shown to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, offering hope to MILLIONS of patients with age-related vision loss. The vaccine triggered strong antibody responses that REDUCED retinal damage by UP TO 85%.

If you want to stay healthy and you care about humanity, here's what to eat Scientists say this diet could prevent 40,000 early deaths per day, and cut food-related emissions by half.

Olaf the Northern Saw-Whet Owl is wrapped in baby blue cloth that's styled like a head scarf. According to the uploader Paige Bucalo this makes him look like a babushka. His golden-yellow eyes are piercing, pupils wide, and feathers fluffy. What a cutie.

6th of Owltober!

Olaf was missing some feathers that affected his ability to fly well enough to catch prey in the wild so became an ambassador at World Bird Sanctuary. Want to donate to WBS? worldbirdsanctuary.org/ways-to-give/ Source: fb.com/120623111273... #owlsintowels #owltober 💛🦉

In news that might not be 100% unconnected to the last couple of weeks of other party conferences, the Greens now say they have 84,000 members (in England and Wales), with 25% of them aged under 30.

I blocked a few annoying people the other day just bc I was in a bad mood. They weren't even commenting on my posts. (And hell yeah, it felt good)

Imagine you are a 90yo world famous person- the most recognizable living explorer/scientist- and you film your "don't release till I am dead message" for Netflix, and you say "Eff off into a remote planet Donald Trump, Netanyahu/cabinet, and Qi, with Elon Musk as your captain."
