I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

Virologist Charlotte Friend (b. #OTD in 1921) proved viruses could cause cancer (1957) & revolutionized virology (& helped define modern retrovirology).
She later pioneered differentiation therapy, showing cancer cells could be "reverted" to health, defining a new path to treat cancer. #WomenInSTEM

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to “federalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens.

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.

You will die. You will not live forever. Nor will any man nor any thing. Nothing is immortal. But only to us is it given to know that we must die. And that is a great gift: the gift of selfhood. For we have only what we know we must lose, what we are willing to lose.
RSV vaccines are recommended as a one-time dose for all adults 75 and older, and for adults 50–74 with increased risk for severe disease (e.g., chronic heart/lung disease, nursing home residents).
A “living drug” was developed as a cancer treatment. Now it is showing promise for conditions, such as lupus and multiple sclerosis, that have long been considered incurable. www.newyorker.com/culture/anna...
In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years.
Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.
so the US Navy fired on and sank a vessel returning home from a joint exercise that the US Navy also participated in ... is that skating kinda close to the line of perfidy? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/w...
Iran “has the industrial capacity to produce around 10,000 [drones] per month ..

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
Via a friend in the know: gpsjam.org A free site with data from airline pilots showing where GPS jamming (a good sign of other types of electronic warfare as well) is occurring in semi-real time.
I have been adamant about this since I was little:
Say no to cloud OSes. They take away your computer's internal power and hand it to a corporation that has no interest in you.
so Iran has apparently knocked out and destroyed / disabled to some extent two U.S. THAAD batteries
This is a massive deal. Aside from the expense, this is not a weapon system we just have a ton of lying around. You don't replace these easily.
