FDA wonโ€™t review Moderna application for first mRNA-based flu vaccine The decision, which shocked company officials, comes as the FDA says it will take a stricter approach to federal vaccine approvals.

So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist.

Cool.

If you were to run down a list of all the things distinctive about the United States in contrast to Old World Europe, most of it is stuff we instead have in common with Latin America. That's not some woke novelty, it's a deeply embedded centuries-old aspect of our culture and national identity.

I get this, but here's where I'm at:

Trump & Vance are the worst of us. America is bigger than them, and they win if we let them define us.
Team USA is the best of us. It's filled with Americans MAGA hatesโ€”first-generation + immigrants, LGBTQ+ athletes, people of colorโ€”& I'm gonna root for them.

Good news, this chump is cruising to finish outside of the top three in the PA primary (if he makes it that far). He's better than literally any repub, but that's the only reason he's the gov

What Philadelphia Can Learn From Minneapolisโ€™s ICE Resistance โ€œThe main thing here is that we are just relentless in supporting our neighbors,โ€ one Minneapolis resident said. โ€œThat's it. We donโ€™t care where they came from originally.โ€

I've spent the past month in awe of Minneapolis residents' courage, so I interviewed a few of them about how we might recreate that here in Philadelphia.

Little known fact, but they let you on bluesky before you're "wake up with a new ache" years old. They don't let it happen much, so most people don't know about this

1. The thing about science that these jokers don't understand is that science cannot be vibe-coded.

Whatever its flaws, the point with vibe coding is that you're trying to quickly make something that sorta works, where you can immediately sorta see if it sorta works and then sorta use it.

From what we've seen in other cities, the most important factors in an anti-ice response is a well connected community and general sense of decency. Folks who otherwise wouldn't push back find themselves fighting by dint of moral outrage.
