FACT OF THE DAY. 26 March 1953. In a huge medical breakthrough, US medical researcher Dr Jonas Salk announced that he had created the first polio vaccine. Polio cases fell from 58,000 per year in 1952 to 6,000 by 1958. Salk’s vaccine was replaced by a new one developed by Albert Sabin in 1962.
Moose said you *can’t* do that.
(I actually work with a pretty sensible CEO, to be honest.)
No other president in history has ever done more damage to America than Trump.
7 years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive.

People have lost sight of just how big 1,000,000 is…in tons.
At .5 of a pound per stick, that’s 2 layers of 1000 by 1000 sticks of dynamite, or a square 100 feet wide and 100 feet deep and 16 inches high. That’s 1M pounds.
3x that. 4’ deep.
2,000x that to get tons: 1.5 miles high.
‘Rage’ and ‘outrage’ aren’t etymologically related.
‘Rage’ is from the Latin ‘rabere’ (to be mad).
‘Outrage’ is from Anglo-French ‘utrage’ (insult), from Latin 'ultra' (beyond).
We hope this doesn’t make you mad.
And that nice big target at Pickering.
Fantastic. Congratulations!
The sad part is that everyone knows exactly who this is referring to, and that it’s true.
Prove me wrong.
The alarming fact is that we’re not even close to the bottom with this madman.
Trump boasts about his attacks on the 1st amendment
I had a dream like that when I was in first year uni. Got a really high fever and was convinced there was no air outside the dorm.
“Ooooo. Fancy”
overlooking a series of circular water filled tanks of a sewage treatment plant at night. lights line a long brick building on the horizon as a blue-black sky is stark behind a veil of thin puffy clouds in the distance.
good night, sewers.
good night, streams.
good night, operations and maintenance teams.
good night, settling tanks.
good night, stream banks.
good night, engineers, scientists, crews, managers, inspectors, analysts too.
a good night for us means serving with care.
good night, sewers, everywhere.
Please explain how a “master strategist” manages to raise oil prices that give huge amounts of money to a regime to rebuild the things he’s bombing.
I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.
Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.
The 25th is never happening.
This needs to be tattooed on the careers of every single signer of the “Great Barrington Declaration.”
Time to pass a law that any party spokesperson of media outlet that opines with hindsight reckons on pandemic management has to show this chart in the background at all times #nzpol
This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

Wile E. Coyote, Genuis.
So I guess it was either World War III or drag queens reading books to our children.
Procyon Lotor for the win.
70 years ago, Dwight Eisenhower’s prowess as an anti-Fascist (Antifa) killer of Nazis earned him leadership of the Republican Party. Today, his party is filled with people who describe themselves as Nazis.

If Tim Houston's @nsgov.bsky.social needs evidence of the value of arts funding, they might consider the fact that the biggest Canadian cultural export in years began as a book by a Nova Scotia author who credits her career to provincial support for the arts halifax.citynews.ca/2026/03/04/h...
Kansas for 3 years (waving hand at entire Kansas GOP) …
“We have both Tass and Pravda. Put up some fake villages, minister”
RFK wants to invade courtrooms and make money. We’re talking about the guy who pulled 800k in “legal consulting fees” from his fake Children’s Health Defense “charity.”
He’s trying to erode public confidence and legal protection for institutions for money.
As always, follow the money.
