Opinion | Jay Bhattacharya: Why the NIH is pivoting away from mRNA vaccines As a vaccine for broad public use, mRNA technology has failed to earn the public’s trust.

I cannot emphasize enough that the playbook being used against mRNA vaccines (and vaccines in general) is IDENTICAL to the playbook used to restrict voting rights after the 2020 election: actively sow public distrust, then cite the distrust you sowed as an independent reason for your desired policy

My hunch is that that "de-extinction" lab codified and zhuzh-ed up what dog breeders have been doing for hundreds of years
IF something significant comes out of this, it won't be a good thing.
Brings us back to the need for strict monitoring of genetic modification of animals.

So who's watched the finale? 💀

I actually feel sick watching it all unfold. And I don’t mean the final episode of White Lotus.

Thank youuu

Hello! Please add me :)

Hi! How do I know if I'm already added or not? 🥲

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

It makes me so so so angry that one brainless thaatha and his groupies sitting continents away are affecting jobs and livelihoods in my immediate circle
So many of us are at the risk of losing our jobs overnight

Just so that any numbers don't leak out.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.

Merry christmas to everyone except you know who

The 12 Days of (Non-Profit) Christmas

On the 1st day of Christmas
my donors gave to me
A mandate to go and plant trees.

"...let it not be forgotten that there are two JESUSes ! One, JESUS OF NAZARETH who was born in a manger to a poor carpenter's family, lived his life in poverty, recruited his disciples from the poorest of the poor, preached and lived his message among the deprived and oppressed, but valiantly stood against the mighty and powerful and paid the price by being accused of sedition and cruelly crucified on a cross. His life was one of a revolutionary. That life of Jesus brought a new life to the oppressed who accepted him as their shepherd. The second, JESUS OF THE CHRISTIANS who has been disfigured by huge properties and wealth, being aligned with the ruling class and its values, its religious professionals professing poverty but living in affluence and confine Jesus in their churches and tabernacles. Jesus far from being a revolutionary has become a law-abiding subject. The real challenge before those professing to be followers of Jesus is to go back to JESUS OF NAZARETH. It calls for an understanding of the contradictions of increasing polarity between the rich vs the poor, the powerful vs the vulnerable, the oppressor vs the oppressed. Then clearly take the side of the poor, the vulnerable, the oppressed. And be ready to pay the price in whatever form and shape."

on Christmas, I want to share this passage by Fr. Stan Swamy, from Christmas 2019, a time when the CAA-NRC protests were in full force

Someone please tell me silo s2 gets better
I'm sure the book is great

Absolutely loved this series.
The music was phenomenal and so was each character's acting!

A hand drawn with blank ink, is holding on to a heart, the heart is colored with red watercolor. the lines bleeding out of the heart was created by blowing the color using a straw and then a dry brush to add some more texture.

After recently learning that 1 person other than me actually uses my pet project, I made some tweaks to the AI and improved the responses a little bit. Try it out and see if it makes your life easier as well 😬
