Single vaccine could protect against all coughs, colds and flus, researchers say A Stanford University team have tested their nasal spray vaccine in animals but still need to do human clinical trials.

Why isn’t the right excited about technology?

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve?

If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days?

If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built?

It's a tax. That's all it is.

😕

We should have a minor inconvenience rewards card.

Everything is awful but I’m laying in my bed with three purring cats and if you have access to any, you should too. Let them work their peace on you so you can continue.

This should be a legal requirement for being allowed to sell networked devices.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.

That is called murder when they do that.

Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

Police procedurals help normalize this FYI

@mhdksafa for the record: cops aren't supposed to kill guilty people either (from 2023)

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like:

“Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

Screenshot of a tweet by James Tate reading, “An educated populace is a threat to power.” The tweet includes a quoted graphic stating that ICE is offering a $45,000 signing bonus and $100,000 starting salary, compared to a teacher earning $55,000 in their eighth year with a master’s degree, arguing that education has been intentionally defunded.

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.

Also Power Wash Simulator 2 is on Game Pass and my kids went from "this sounds boring" to "let's co-op for the rest of the day" in about 15 minutes.

My New Years resolution is to read more so I put the subtitles on my tv.

Still up. Glad I posted here and not YouTube. This is what Bari Weiss and CBS tried to hide from us.

John Oliver has said this explicitly FYI

That without local news he couldn't do his show (and to his credit, he's pretty good about crediting his news sources)

People say music “saved them.”
No.
It just reminds you that you’re still here long enough to do the saving yourself.

All the people in favour of public executions for crime might want to think about why we tried it for hundreds of years and decided it was wrong and ineffective.

RFK: “Where did all this autism come from? It never existed when I was a kid!”

“A Christmas Story”, a 1983 movie based on a 1971 memoir about a childhood in the 1930s: “This is my brother Ralphie. He has a ton of sensory issues and behaviors we don’t understand. Every family has a child like him.”

Fine, whatever, this random cat is your new god of the winter solstice

The FBI Director lied to Congress by stating there were no co-conspirators working with Epstein to sex-traffic little girls. In the latest drop of Epstein files, the FBI states there were 10 co-conspirators. One of them could very well have been Trump it looks like. Trump's BFF was Epstein FFS!!

WHO GIVES A DAMN?

It’s a public service, right there in the name. It exists as a public good for all the people in this country. It’s not supposed to turn a profit, you dolts.

Go audit the Pentagon and see what kind of return on investment we’re getting there.

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.

"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

To increase profits airports have turned themselves into malls so travelers will arrive well before their stated departure time. A consequence of that is people who can walk 10 minutes but not 45. Add in increased disability with Covid and you get this. But sure frame it as a "problem"

After Tesla recently showing a Robotaxi with no safety pilot as 'proof' it was fully autonomous (when it was controlled remotely!), California said it's bullshit to advertise FSD and to sort it else they'll BAN sales in the state which is its biggest market!
