From John Green's "Everything is Tuberculosis"

"... The world will be different a generation from now. The question is whether we will look back in gratitude at the virtuous cycles, or in horror at the vicious ones."

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional.

We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

Behind the Art: Why Is Cancer Drug Revlimid So Expensive?
When ProPublica reporter David Armstrong was diagnosed with cancer, he set out to understand why a single pill of his medication, Revlimid, cost the same as ... Behind the Art: Why Is Cancer Drug Revlimid So Expensive?

For our story on a cancer drug that costs nearly $1,000 for each daily pill, art director Lisa Larson-Walker handmade several pill-shaped ceramic piggy banks, stuffed them with cash β€” then smashed them with a sledgehammer in the middle of the office.

Go behind the scenes with this short video:

Before Trump's WHO cutoff, who was funding the UN health organisation? Following Trump's decision to withdraw the US funds from the WHO, a senior employee started a campaign to raise $1 billion. But which countries funded the organisation in 2024? #EuropeInMotion

Donald Trump would rather stop funding medical research, medical & food aid, education, food assistance, school lunch, Social Security than make the rich pay taxes. And that’s all you need to know about the convicted felon, charity thief, insurrectionist, fraudster.

@duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov @ericsorensen.bsky.social OPPOSE any measure that classifies fentanyl as a Schedule I controlled substance!! Fentanyl has a very important role in medicine! Ask me your questions about this, I'm a pharmacist.

A joke about Cabinet appointees and their disqualifying traits that substitutes β€œa junkie” for RFK Jr.

A joke about Cabinet appointees and their disqualifying traits that substitutes β€œa junkie” for RFK Jr.

Really wild how people continue to act like RFK Jr.’s problem is his remote history of heroin addiction in sustained recovery and not the fact that he’s a sociopathic, science denying, con artist, who wants kids to die so he can make a buck, which has nothing to do with him using heroin decades ago.
