mRNA technology may be THE most underrated and unfairly scrutinized (fuck you COVID antivax crew) medical breakthrough in my lifetime.
Like... The things this is already showing it can do in the last 5-7 years is incredible.
at this point it's like telling people their clothes are made in sweatshops. nobody disputes that fact, but they just don't want to have to think about it.
i shouldn't be surprised by this stuff anymore, but the extent to which society has just decided it's bored of hearing about the michael jackson allegations is honestly shocking to me.
I wrote this skeet as a hypothetical and then 24 hours later 🫠
Richard Marles. A dude in a blue suit and blue tie

Is it a bit odd, that the British public were subjected to years of screaming terror about leftist traitors, at the secret behest of an extremely weird and creepy backroom Gollum figure who is mobbed up with Russian oligarchs and Chinese generals

once again my partner has called my bluff and now i’m listening to colin meloy sing about being a fucking chimbley sweep
It's in the dictionary next to Upton Sinclair's famous line that "it is hard to get a man to understand something when he is a massive dumbass"
I believe the full quote is "to paraphrase Cormac McCarthy, you never know what worse institutions your bad institutions have saved you from, if you are being dumb on purpose"
Pretty wild that a Kotaku writer doesn't know what "live service" means in the context of games.
Since this post is aggregating my Bloomberg column, I kinda feel the need to clarify that the Imagine Dragons game is not "live-service" (designed for recurring monetization). It's a $15 multiplayer shooter with no microtransactions.
