Humans Have a Third Set of Teeth. New Medicine May Help Them Grow. They could be ready by 2030.

Ok HOLD THE PHONE.

"He said that his previous research shows that humans have the start of a third set of teeth already embedded in our mouths."

Just drop that right at the end of this article WHAT?! www.popularmechanics.com/science/heal...

My daughter has a mouth bump and we are going to check with the dentist to see if this is the issue. In the meantime I've been calling her Shark Girl. Tickled there are *many* Shark Girl Syndromes.

When people were protesting in the streets over "the 1%" they weren't mad about whatever stonks happened to be doing, they were actually mad about the imbalance of power. And we have to collectively realize that the entire billionaire pedo enabling class should be sent off planet.

HOT take but we can't get mad at anybody mad at pedophiles right after the Epstein files have come out. They may be *extremely confused* about who the Bad People are, but being mad about the pedophiles is a Good Instinct, whether coming from people otherwise liberal or conservative.

Meme showing a woman intensely typing at a computer in an office. Overlaid text reads, “Me: Stressing over every letter in a simple email.” and below it, “Billionaires: Hay wen we mtg 2do crime$?”

Thought about this a lot lately

Propaganda, Rather than Pandemic Policies, Caused the War on Public Health The backlash narrative ignores basic facts of the case.

More from @liberalcurrents.com, from November by @zeblarson.bsky.social. It deserves to be widely read. It's the most sober-minded version of how liberal backlash to COVID mitigation measures set the table for the take-over of public health by the far-right. www.liberalcurrents.com/propaganda-r...

Does your university use ChatGPT Edu? Please send me a DM if you do. I have identified a potential data breach affecting students' data that has not yet been fixed and I'm trying to compile further examples from other universities.

The billionaires' eugenics project: how Epstein infiltrated Harvard, muzzled the humanities and preached master-race science Edge - Jeffrey Epstein's favourite intellectual salon - was sold to me as a gathering of the world's finest minds, writes Virginia Heffernan. The files reveal it was something far darker: a decades-lo...

The best synthesis I have seen so far of things I knew or had put together from various sources but had not really seen pulled together 🧪

Importantly, I don’t think these academics were an aberration. I think a lot of scientists would have entered these circles, given the option.

Humanity's Last Exam. 2,500 expert-level questions across dozens of subjects, created by ~1,000 specialists from 500+ institutions worldwide. Frontier LLMs still score low, with calibration errors above 70%. Models confidently give wrong answers rather than admitting uncertainty. (1/2)

Japanese internment camps.. Operation Wetback. Since the Chinese exclusion act of 1882, we've been pretending you can have a country of immigrants without edging reactionary genocide. Enough. Immigration enforcement as an armed and state sanctioned form of violence must end.

gray squirrel against yellow wall, the shadow of his tail is visible at left

The word "squirrel" comes from the Greek word skiouros, combining skia (shadow) and oura (tail). The Squirrel of the Day for February 15, 2026 demonstrates #sqrlpix

No, the education part comes from living with activists who have always been attuned to injustice. Cruelty in immigration policy is not new. We've been here before, and everytime we pretend that the mission of ripping people from the lives they've built is a good one and we will end up here again.

The image is a meme with three panels, using a scene from a movie to humorously convey a conversation about prosecuting people associated with the Epstein files. 1. Top Panel: Shows two characters, with the left one facing the camera and the right one seen from behind. The text reads: "prosecute everyone in the Epstein files." 2. Middle Panel: Features a close-up of the right character facing the camera. The text states: "if we prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, the whole system will collapse." 3. Bottom Panel: The left character is in focus, looking at the right character, with the text: "I already said prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, you don't need to sell it to me."

Are you sure? That's not the history I learned. youtu.be/qu-duTWccyI?...

I don't have any particular problem with Customs, but isn't immigration enforcement always just going to be terrorizing brown people? Like how is the premise that people should ever be locked up or deported for immigration infractions ever helpful?

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

What critical mission?

Once again I beg everyone to read The Wordy Shipmates, but America could never have existed without Pilgrims and Puritans

Multiwavelength Whirlpool Galaxy: Each image shows a narrow band of wavelengths of light and invisible radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum. The wavelength and energy of a photon relates to how fast electrons are accelerated. Low energy radiation comes from cool regions of molecular gas, and high energy radiation comes from hot spots where atoms are fully ionized. The combined images provide insight into the structure, temperature, and chemical composition of the Whirlpool Galaxy. The stars in the infrared image represent most of the mass of the galaxy, excluding dark matter, which can't be seen. The optical image represents a slightly smaller amount of mass and the other three images represent only traces of mass in molecules (radio image) massive hot stars, (ultraviolet image) and hot plasma (x-ray image).

Radio is beyond red

Gamma rays, beyond blue

There are 80 octaves of the electromagnetic spectrum

But only one we can view 🧪
