While drug use & HIV do create a unique syndemic that complicates HIV prevention and treatment, the work of HIV denialist Peter Duesberg has been disproven time and time again over the last 30 years. His return to relevance is not something I expected to encounter as an HIV researcher in 2025.

Based on how frequently their songs are suggested, Apple Music thinks I like Mastodon much more than I actually do.

Once it’s in the treasury, who is in control of it? Traditionally Congress has control of the purse. This sounds more like a personal slush fund.

When a company “settles” with the Trump Administration, what exactly does that mean? Like who gets that money? Like, does this go into a fund so we get healthcare, a national park, or high speed rail? Or is it a nebulous pot of money Trump can control without the oversight of Congress?

Look forward to seeing it then

A review for a Little Caesar’s somewhere by Kevin S: Stopped into this Little Caesars just trying to get a $6 pizza and ended up in a full on action movie. Just as I grabbed my order, this furious dude barges in yelling about how I cut him off in traffic earlier. Before I can even respond, he throws a punch but then out of nowhere the guy behind the counter jumps over it like he's been waiting for this moment his whole life and just beats the living hell out of the guy. The guy ran off and the cashier just dusted himself off. I said "are you ok man" and he looked me dead in the eye and said "B*tch, this is Little Caesars. We always hot and ready." Five stars. Will absolutely return.

I AM SHRIEKING 💀🤣

Forget the statue at City Hall, this guy is the *real* Spirit of Detroit. 🫡

This opioid is 10,000× stronger than morphine & 100× stronger than fentanyl — a tiny speck can kill.

In nearly every case, it was mixed with fentanyl, cocaine, or both.

Happy day of death Ozzy 🤘🏾

The governing party of the United States is shutting down the federal government to cover-up evidence the president sexually abused children so he can continue trying to implement dictatorship.

That's just a true statement about the world!

Pecs like that need heavier metal

We should have listened when the modems screamed at us.

Anyone doing anything special to celebrate Jane Austen’s 250th bday?

This man is a clown and sold out his district, his people, and his state.

Anyone in Portland driving down to SF next week for Dore?

And honestly, you need to see the pic. He has a French accent btw.

The Trump Administration Is About to Incinerate 500 Tons of Emergency Food Federal workers warned for months that the high-energy biscuits would go to waste.

The administration will incinerate enough food to feed 1.5 million children for a week. When it burns, its label will read: THIS PRODUCT IS A GIFT FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. 500 tons, from us, to no one.

This man is a pet groomer in Iran.

I don’t know anything about this particular kitten, but there are many street cats in Iran, and Iranians often take them in — so pet groomers always have lots of customers.

Wait for the last couple of meows.

Clearly paid for by the Big Fact-checking lobby.

They’ve been very clear that it’s only to “cut waste, fraud, and abuse”. Couldn’t be anything more than that!
