"This is an important thing to think about."

hegseth bravely retvrning to the era of headlines like "entire army wiped out by yellow fever outbreak"

Why are you limp-wristedly thrusting with a sword designed for slashing?

impossible to overstate how poisonous this shit is. dudes on the street smiling and waving at your toddler are an indicator of a happy and functional community

Famously, armies have never been done in by disease.

Certainly, Washington never forcibly innoculated his troops to prevent the spread of the scourge of smallpox so they could live to fight another day.

Surely, the campaigns of the Pacific were not shaped by disease and featured daily treatment.

Gender essentialism is a fucking cancer

WARNOCK: What grade would you give the American economy?

WARSH: Well, if i gave a student anything other than an A, the dean would summon me because I would've hurt his self-image

WARNOCK: Consumer confidence is at a record low. That's Americans' grade on the economy

today OneDrive thinks I need to see this again

Mesmerizing light sheet imaging of neutrophils swarming at a yeast target!
The neutrophils were labeled with SPY650-DNA (yellow) and a calcium dye (blue).

This movie is part of the recent manuscript by @strickland-evelyn.bsky.social that we highly recommend reading!

Personally I’d really love to see the Onion turn Infowars into an investigative journalism outlet to counter all the legacy news media that has been captured by conservatives or other bigots (I.e. the Atlantic, WashPo, NYT, CBS, CNN)

The Salween is Asia's longest untamed river, running 3300km from the snowmelts of Tibet, thru China and Myanmar (where it forms part of the border with Thailand), finally emptying into the Andaman Sea. Not a dam or hindrance the entire way. And now it is slowly being poisoned. Excellent reporting. 🚨

surely no army in military history has ever been laid low by disease, a famously uncommon problem among people living in enforced close quarters

Congrats bestie!!!

Sometimes when I talk about how much masks improve my life, people mistakenly think I still want to be living in mid-2020.

No! That sucked! It was stressful and sad!

A main reason I wear & love N95s in crowded places is that I get to opt out getting sick while skipping the bad parts of that time!

You're right tho. Scientists do think their tagged wolves are cool

AI 🤝🏻 air pollution
knowledge of harm
does not prevent it

TTP - Apple and Google Are Steering Users to Nudify Apps

Both Google and Apple host ~50 apps that remove women’s clothing or put them in compromising positions, despite those apps supposedly violating their terms of service. They also suggest search terms to help people find these apps, which have been downloaded >483 M times. Cool cool cool

Valid take, honestly.

My disdain for people during lockdown was for the people who gave up and just started partying again after what, like two weeks? Because the rest of us were doing what was necessary, even when people like the QP were understandably bouncing off the walls in frustration.

The currently escalating tech backlash must be put in the context of:

“people have been listening to the most insufferable techbros in the world gleefully threaten everyone else with mass unemployment for over 6 years, and they’re sick of their shit”

A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

my edgy Covid take is that I while I did socially isolate until vaccines came online for the good of society, I absolutely loathed being unable to see people in person, throw a party, or travel for over a year, and I enjoyed absolutely nothing whatsoever about any of it

Poor thing looks like he needs a hot bath and a home cooked meal

In August, Jay Bhattacharya said “Training future biomedical scientists” was the 1st priority for his version of NIH.

But talk is cheap. Let’s see how JB’s doing. 🤔

NIH supports trainees mostly via fellowship (F), training (T), and career development (K) awards.

Here are funding curves for each.🧵

found out about the manga kuma gurashi which is like those ones where a manic pixie dream girl comes into a salaryman's life and starts doing all his domestic chores for him to heal his heart except in this one it's a realistically drawn bear and the salaryman is terrified on every single page

Infowars/Onion combo logo in rainbow saying “I support the onion’s hostile media takeover.”

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

The Onion says it has struck a deal to take over Infowars The move would allow the satire site to turn Alex Jones' conspiracist creation into a parody of itself.

After years of legal action, the Onion says it has reached an agreement with a bankruptcy receiver to license the Infowars site.

It seems like the fact that this political movement -- what, 25, 30% of the country? -- has effectively convinced itself of a grand collective paranoid hallucination ... that this hallucination has reached the highest echelons & is now dictating strategy ... ought to ...

I dunno, matter?
