I’m an infectious diseases scholar and a huge fan of mRNA vaccines for existing and emerging infections.

But lets be clear: the most exciting application of this technology is in smart, targeted and non-toxic cancer therapies (and cures). These idiots want to destroy that.

At last—a bit of good news!

People riding bikes in a protected bike lane in downtown Vancouver

It’s REALLY important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against downtown bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of the evidence that they are better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.

Bike-lanes mean business.

Look, just TELL him the satellite was destroyed. What’s he gonna do—fly up there and check?

a fluffy black orb like a soot sprite is sitting on a white floor. there’s a small crescent shape of white right in the middle, with a black round spot centered within it. at first glance, it has the appearance of a single eyeball floating in the middle of the void. at second glance, it still looks like that. but maybe on third examination, it’s clearer that the white is from a dog’s little snout, and the black in the middle is the dog’s nose, and any other distinguishing feature like eyes, ears, and paws are absorbed into the black void.

an exceedingly fluffy black dog stands expectantly on the floor and looks up at a little kid in a high chair who presumably has snacks to share. the little bit of white on the dog’s nose and their pink tongue is the only interruption in the otherwise endless sea of darkness. but at least from this angle, they have a more defined body and tiny feet, so she’s a little less “orb” and a little more “dog.”

We only rate dogs. This is the goth cousin of Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. Please understand it's not just a phase, and only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10 (credit u/vincidelaunc)

According to Ghislaine Maxwell she didn’t see anything to cause her concern

This is criminal 👇so much potential disease prevention-gone...

Two weeks, of course! It’s always “two weeks”

I might have asked ChatGPT to review it…

That money you're paying? You're not paying at all. You're actually making more money the more you spend, did you know that? It's a beautiful thing. They want you to think you're paying but you're actually richer now than you have ever been because of all the winning.

Mental Toughness from the Stoic Masters offers a clear, structured Stoic approach to building mental resilience for modern challenges. It's ideal if you appreciate philosophy distilled into practical steps.

The idea that American leaders can actually believe this is terrifying. Imagine where his logic leads: Anyone who cannot convince an ICE agent that they are a citizen can be deported with no further investigation.

Why would anyone ever visit such a country?

Annie and Lakeesha struggle in school. AI teacher assistants treated them very differently. A Common Sense Media study found that prominent teacher assistants that use AI generated recommendations that appeared to be rooted in racial stereotypes based on students’ names. About a third of tea...

Minimize the number of times you get COVID because it's a systemic neutrotropic vasculitis, not the respiratory infection you think it is.

Lisa Nandy, the UK culture secretary, claims that #PalestineAction "wishes harm on the British people."
That is simply false. It is yet another retrospective justification by this government for its unjustifiable ban on the group.

Had to check this for myself because it's so mind-bogglingly unbelievable. Art. I Secs. 9 and 10 both come back as broken links as of time of posting (11:38 AM EDST) constitution.congress.gov/browse/artic...

When you see it...

Mmmmm! Fizzy...and meaty!!

Just think what the GOP would do and say if Barack Obama or Joe Biden had pulled sections of the Constitution off a government website because they were inconvenient to their plans.

with the money they will pay them to keep the starving hordes from overwhelming their fortresses. So who needs accurate labour stats? It’s fantasy they need now! Convince everyone they need to support low taxes because they’ll all be RICH RICH I TELL YOU RICH

it’s not going to last forever. In the meantime their best moneymaking strategy is now lie often, lie big, and declare reality null and void. Keeping the populace in the dark will keep them afloat while they build underground bunkers and try to convince their minions that they can still buy things 3

since the economy will implode as the world food supply collapses. They’re doing their very best to prevent disaster—ie, the loss of their personal fortunes—by promoting disease, destroying the safety net, and doing what they can to reduce the size of the population as far as possible. But /2

I think I can shed light on this. Capitalists can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and it’s a train marked Climate Disaster. The closer it gets, the more obvious it is that their usual playbook—call it a hoax, and make more money by doing so—is a self limiting strategy 1/

Yeah I bet you do! 😂

DAMMIT I DON’T NEED YOUR CALM RATIONAL ANALYSIS I’M TRYING TO BE OUTRAGED

No idea if any of this is true. But if it is, it’s outrageous.

Fox News shows mentioned Sydney Sweeney and her jeans ad 766 times in the span of a week. Jeffrey Epstein's name came up 53 times that same week, per @andrewkirell.bsky.social in today's Reliable Sources cnn.it/4foQAtk

Well sure—Covid brain damage probably contributed to the crash!
