My autistic son would stare at this 80s synchwave stuff for hours if I'd let him. A useful tool when we need to go put a wash on or something #Autism ๐Ÿ˜…

I donโ€™t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americansโ€™ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. Itโ€™s a disaster. We wonโ€™t recover.

If he goes during his term, doesn't that mean Vance gets to be king until the next election?
That could be even worse!

Over the 2009โ€“2023 period, on the order of 50,000+ Christians have been estimated (by Intersociety and allied sources) to have been killed in Nigeria in conflicts attributed to Islamist militants or militants overlapping with Islamist causes.

Indeed. My wife introduced me to that book just after we got together.
Hopefully she didnt mean it as a slight on the quality of my lab work ๐Ÿค”

It's just beyond ironic that a nation that said no to kings has now embraced one so completely.

When politics moves too far to one extreme, ppl inevitably get hurt and angry. The result is usually a lurch towards the other political extreme. The result is usually that ppl get hurt.

Surely it's not that difficult for both the left, the right (and everyone in-between) to agree on the following.
1. Torturing Gays to make them pretend to be straight
AND
2. Giving children drugs that stop them from entering puberty and may make them infertile for life
ARE BOTH HORIBBLE THINGS TO DO

Folks, if ICE shot a pastor in the head with a pepper ball on camera, what do you think they do to people behind closed doors?

I don't know why were worried about Russia expanding the war. They're losing the one they are already in. Imagine what would happen to the Russian military if they opened up new fronts.

There are lots of warzones atm. & what is happening in places such as in Nigeria (ethnic cleansing of Christians with hundreds of thousands of deaths) doesnt seem to get anyone's attention. Also, if the environment is destroyed then we all die. She seems to have forgot abt 5he environment though.

Epigenetic silencing of interleukin-10 by host-derived oxidized phospholipids supports a lethal inflammatory response to infections Phagocytes initiate immunity to invading microorganisms by detecting pathogen-associated molecular patterns via pattern recognition receptors. Pathogeโ€ฆ

Late to the party, but: Host-oxidized phospholipids (oxPLs) form during infection & epigenetically silence IL-10 via AKTโ†’EZH2โ†’H3K27me3, driving lethal inflammation. Blocking oxPLs boosts IL-10 + survival. Kudos, @lozanzi.bsky.social; out in @cp-immunity.bsky.social:

Personally I don't agree with either. Both create victims based on dubious science.

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.
