A cinematic movie poster titled "COCAINE SALMON" in jagged, blood-red and white 3D lettering, mimicking the aggressive style of B-movie thrillers. The central focus is a massive, hyper-aggressive salmon exploding out of a churning river, its mouth agape and its eyes wide and bloodshot, surrounded by white crystalline spray that suggests both water and powder. In the background, a moody, overcast sky hangs over a dense evergreen forest and jagged mountain peaks. Below the main fish, several smaller, frantic salmon swim through the dark water. The bottom of the poster features classic movie billing blocks and clever taglines like "THE MIGHTIEST FISH. THE WILDEST RIDE." and "A REEL THRILLER," all presented with a gritty, vintage texture that includes fold lines and weathered edges.

I know it's a serious study…

Suspicions? I have a suspicion that something is attracting us to the Earth’s surface.

Powerful 7.5-magnitude earthquake strikes off Japan, tsunami alert issued A powerful earthquake struck off the northern Japanese coast, and the Japan Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami alert in the region.

Pregnancy vaccine reduces baby hospital admissions for RSV by 80% A study confirms the vaccine gives excellent protection for babies against life-threatening chest infections.

Vaccines are humanity’s greatest scientific achievement.

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

Reminder: The Trump regime cancelled nearly $500 million in federal contracts for mRNA vaccine development last year.

I'm not sure which planet he's talking about but it's not Earth.

Everyone is rightly making fun of this, but when I was in the Christchurch earthquake and lost all my things, I would have appreciated quick-drying underwear when I finally had access to a sink after a few days.

Hundreds of Fake Pro-Trump Avatars Emerge on Social Media
