The incompetent quacks entrusted with overseeing our public health system have blocked hundreds of millions of dollars of mRNA vaccine research, based on pseudoscientific drivel.
Our money. The public’s money. Lifeblood for miracles like this one.
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.
Among the many should-immediately-end-this-presidency daily scandals is the fact that the current administration is dismantling research on the most incredible new scientific advance in the last several decades. Literally killing people.
he triggers everyone so badly. remember when the NYT decided that he wasn't allowed to identify as an african american and tried to use documents leaked by twitter race science accounts to sink his candidacy? and it did absolutely fuckin nothing to derail him???? i think about it often
The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.
Look at the women at NASA.
They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points.
And they are doing it all with joy.👇
Warning bells should be ringing. What’s happening in AZ is coming for the whole country. Trump & Republicans cut 200B from SNAP in the OBBBA. Those cuts are landing. Kids are going hungry.
Thx to @propublica.org for your amazing reporting & to @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social for amplifying it.
She needs to kick the 5 electricians who might still vote for her to the curb and go all in against data centers, as you’ve advocated for. Imagine how she could get the hogs riled up with a few ads showing Vivek counting money in front of a data center.
You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
I love how people on here complain and moan about Platner and then a new poll drops and he’s even further in the lead. Need to get people on Blue Sky to shift their ire to Talarico so the Dems can win Texas for the first time in forever.
I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5.
My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.
You guys need to go all in on this (anti-data center). The hogs do NOT want these data centers in their backyard. It’s the lowest of hanging fruits for rural and suburban voters.
the hipsters couldn't handle the truth
There is no excuse for downplaying or eliding the insanity of Trump’s morning post. It is the most unhinged public comment by a president in US history and should be reported and remarked upon as such.
Unless you like Rodeos it’s not super exciting. They had the Olympics 40 years ago and that’s their second biggest attraction. Reminiscing about that.
Something I take at least some solace in is despite all the heinous damage of this worst-ever Administration, last year at this time the narrative was about Trump’s power and strength and now it’s clear he’s weak and flailing. The nation hates this shit.
It’s not the worst but Calgary is the most boring
I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake By A Horse Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food. I am thinking I would like to try cake. Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape. Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy. Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much. I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on." Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …
The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.
It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."
Miss Rachel Instagram post: I posted a photo of a severely malnourished child in Gaza. Some have tried to discredit the horror by the new information that he has pre-existing health problems. Let's be clear: Starving a child who is sick doesn't make it less horrific. They are being denied healthy food and medical care. Another girl named Rahaf, 12, who also had medical conditions and was severely malnourished is doing so much better now that she was evacuated. Fadi, who has CF, also gained weight when evacuated treated. Every child deserves to be fed, loved, and cared for. No exceptions.
As usual, Miss Rachel said it better than me.
She should at least be Secretary of education
I could see myself voting for Ms. Rachel, tbh
This is outrageous. And personally depressing. People over 65 and those with chronic conditions will get sick and die. Just because the younger healthy people don't fear COVID anymore doesn't mean everyone else has nothing to fear. And just because MAHA is stupid and insane that should not happen.
Did decker want to retire and this is why he made them cut him? Also, is this why Frank tried to come back in December?
Where in Buddhism does it preach hating people enjoying a healthy activity? I don’t know much about that religion and would love to be educated!
I agree, the feds have not made it easy to study, that’s for sure! Hopefully we will continue to research medical marijuana and its benefits or lack thereof
Yep, I said limited conditions, which means it doesn’t have wide spread health benefits for everyone. And it’s overused for conditions like anxiety and insomnia.
They are installing them a lot around me, it’s nice knowing that they are eliminating the risk of a loved one or me getting seriously injured or killed at those intersections.
