This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

It now appears clear that Jeffrey Epstein did NOT off himself, based on staff talk overheard by inmates, independent bank reports that large deposits of money were made to the guard in charge at the time, and 2 suspiciously nonfunctioning cameras.

Oh, look at that. Future prisoner makes a joke.
Can't wait to watch the trial.

At some point you need to stop working out the way you are...
#Angels problem now.
#Rays #MLB
It would be a suicide mission to "escort" ships through the Straits of Hormuz. There's little manoeuvring, warships are equipped for large targets, and there isn't one warship out there that's equipped to fend off dozens of drones. #Iran would love for them to try it.
The "art of the deal"
Steal another country's good and gift it to those you need to bribe. You get to look tough, while they get their stuff for free.
And the people starve...
Investigating a death without a body.
Interesting.

THIS.
Here's an idea, maybe don't take the majority of the world's oil out through one tiny area that's surrounded by the world's most volatile governments. Just saying. Not great planning.
Predictable.
And despicable.
Absolutely.
I've never seen a more cohesive Canada.
But there are dangers. Listen to "U-S-A" & MAGA chants. National pride should always be tempered since it can be weaponized in too many ways.
Just as we teach kids to be humble, #Canada must also remain humble as we grow up. Lead, the right way.
I have been since the first time second Bush was elected.
I have been since the first time Donald Trump was elected.
I have been since the 2nd time Donald Trump was elected.
And judging by education systems & lack of reading done worldwide now, I'm afraid human intelligence peaked in 2000.
Sane people are too nice/calm.
That's the story.
And it won't change.
Wait until Elon weaponizes Optimus robots...
Explanation
Scenario 1:
#Iran & #Russia continue status quo, Iran makes money from selling to #Russia, things cost #Russia a lot of money
Scenario 2:
#Iran / #StraitsOfHormuz are taken over by #UnitedStates who give things to #Russia for free and sell to others at inflated price, while #Iran starves
Ok here's the thing:
$1 billion per day is being spent, yes.
But there is economic output from the billions being spent.
Weapons manufacturing increase will allow weapons corporations to remain solvent. 7.2 million U.S. jobs are supported by the defense industry overall...
Thus: #America NEEDS wars.
I took him 35th overall.
Again, X should be shut down permanently.
Would do the entire world a world of good.
#Saskatchewan voters should review how much Mark Carney has worked to get them very lucrative deals over the last year.
Country wide:
Uranium supply deal with India ~ $2.6 billion
China agriculture tariff deal~ $3 B export potential
What it means for Sask is significant.
#saskpoli #Canada #cdnpoli
I will predict more #Liberal seats in #Saskatchewan as Mark Carney continues to bring Moe around to international meetings and added billions to their economic output. Takes a while for these things to show up in polls, but imo the anger from perceived inaction have been replaced by appreciation.
#Rays thoughts:
1. McClanahan healthy is intriguing
2. Williamson = legit improvement to INF
3. Will Walls actually hit? Was hip really THE issue?
4. Vilade is growing on me - a lot
5. Bigge could be high leverage arm
6. Barrios leads Rays Spring with 8 hits? 👀
7. Fraley's .526 OBP is interesting
#NovaScotia #PC who allow this to go through should be shamed & thrown out.
NOBODY should profit from people going to jail, and that would be the ONLY reason for having a "private partnership".
That is a broken ethically corrupt way of running #NovaScotia jails #nspoli

#MLB should do same with doubles & triples
Doubles hit should result in $1,000 to that player
Triples hit should result in $3,000 to that player
For 2025, cost would have been $7.75M for doubles, and $1.88M for triples.
Point is to start paying players for things #MLB wants more of.
José Ramírez led #MLB with 44 SB in 2025
#MLB wants to increase stolen bases
#MLB should use Luxury Tax $ in order to pay players $2,000 for every stolen base
So in this case, Ramírez would get $88,000
For 2025, it would have cost $6.88 million
How long before someone steals 100 with that system?
Why are UK leaders always so weak?
It's pretty fucking obvious who these guys work for.
Would you allow a Nazi to be part of the European Union?
No.
So why is a Russia asset any different?
Middle East build brand new countries, state of the art buildings, make themselves a tourist destination by holding world class events - but they overlooked the impacts of political scheming. They honestly did this to themselves by doing business with Republicans. That's the story. #uspoli
If the #Canadian government wants a business edge & to experience growth like never before, they will reduce the taxing diesel & gasoline in #Canada, thereby giving all of their businesses and edge over other nations, making #Canada based businesses more competitive as a result.
Smart people talk about things, collect data, ask questions, and listen before committing to a course of action
