Iโ€™m genuinely surprised (in a good way) the NFL went through with this. It was beautiful- the best representation of America we could ask for, overwhelmingly loved by the masses, and antithetical to everything this shitty administration has been trying to sell us. And it fucking slaps.

Very glad to hear this year's halftime show headliner decided to use the opportunity and spotlight to say something meaningful and important rather than *checks notes* beating a dead horse.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taรญnos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Feel like there has been a lot of โ€œconspiracy theorists were rightโ€ but what actually happened was victims were and thatโ€™s much harder to accept for most people

GOOD NEWS! A UNIVERSAL sarbecovirus vaccine candidate has officially started clinical trials! GBP511 is the FIRST vaccine to reach human testing that is intended to protect against MULTIPLE strains of SARS-CoV-2 as well as other related coronaviruses with the potential to spark dangerous outbreaks.

People imagine picking up and finding *something better* is an easy solution. But how is that supposed to work, when all your time and energy goes to staying alive? You have almost nothing to set aside to actually fight your way out.

Just because people can go around repeating it and it can cause a real misunderstanding.

I would say โ€œthis is about as close as we can come to having a vaccine without it being an actual vaccineโ€

Just because good news is worth celebrating:

There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.

HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.
