#ICE Agents Tear Down Cameras And Break Doors And Windows At Restaurant in Burbank

Only criminals would need to do this. They know they're breaking the law, and they're destroying anything that can give evidence.

#Nuremburg style trials can't come fast enough.

One of the most promising areas of cancer research is CAR T therapy, in which a "living drug" is made by modifying a patient's T-cells.

Research suggests that mRNA can improve the safety of CAR-T therapy because it prevents genome integration.

Don't listen to RFK's lies about mRNA being unsafe.

The Story Behind Dylan Thomas’s “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night” and the Poet’s Own Stirring Reading of His Masterpiece “Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

This poem has been in my mind for several months now. This is a wonderful look at it from Maria Popova on @themarginalian.org.web.brid.gy . @mariapopova.bsky.social

It took me a few days, but I finally got to the first two episodes of Season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and I have only one thing to say, “Holy freaking shamoley, I love love love this show!” Going back to watch the previous seasons now while waiting for Episode Three. #StarTrekSNW

“Ms. Farmer said she recalled feeling scared as Mr. Trump stared at her bare legs. Then Mr. Epstein entered the room, and she recalled him saying to Mr. Trump: ‘No, no. She’s not here for you.’ …

“Ms. Farmer said she could hear Mr. Trump commenting that he thought Ms. Farmer was 16 years old.”

The main takeaway here is that Donald Trump was best friends with the dead rapist pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

It was #OTD in 1969 that #Apollo11 landed on the Moon, the first time humans ever touched down on another planetary surface. Here’s the full descent, which is 19 minutes and 52 seconds of your day well-spent listening to and watching, IMHO.

Somehow, during and through the end of the Cold War to now, I never lost that sense of awful, wary, nervous foreboding regarding nuclear war, and I’m now pretty sure I never will.

Elon Musk’s Plan to Keep You on X Is Even Dumber Than You Think He says he wants to stop “lazy linking.” The truth is, he wants to keep you trapped on X forever.

In case it’s useful, here's a thread on why ditching Twitter for Bluesky has worked out so well for me as a science writer & author:

🧵 1) Twitter throttled links, which are essential reporting tools for journalists to show their work & point to the work of others. 🧪📕

Terminating weather and climate labs and cooperative institutes immediately makes us less safe from severe weather and climate events.

The research conducted at these labs has given us improvements to hurricane, storm surge, tornado, and severe thunderstorm warnings.

As others have said, we didn’t go to the Moon to get Velcro and the other spinoff things, but if you go the Moon, you get Velcro and the other spinoff things.

Basic scientific research gives us all the good stuff.
