Single vaccine could protect against all coughs, colds and flus, researchers say A Stanford University team have tested their nasal spray vaccine in animals but still need to do human clinical trials.

'This [...] elicits a far broader response that is protective against not just the flu virus, not just the Covid virus, not just the common cold virus, but against virtually all viruses, and as many different bacteria as we've tested, and even allergens.'

How the Easy-Bake Oven, an Appliance That Allowed Kids to Heat Treats With a Light Bulb, Revolutionized the Toy Industry The product, launched in 1963, became a staple in American households

Hi. Are you buried in the horrors right now? Maybe you can take a break and recover some hit points while you read this charming history of the Easy Bake Oven.

This is a chart with a 15x15 grid. The words ICE OUT are written, each letter being 5 rows high and 3 stitches wide. Text above the grid reads, “cast on 15 stitches of background color.” The odd rows have a “K” for knit on the left side of each. The even rows have a “P” for purl to the right. Text under the chart reads, “cast off & weave in ends.” This patch is stockinette and can be created with various needle sizes and weights. In the video we see ones made with 4 (medium weight) yarn and 8mm needles.

this is a picture of Kyle holding up a knitted ICE OUT patch, based on the guide shared to the left. The text is bright green, and the background is purple. Kyle is a white gender fluid person with long dark brown hair. They look concentrated and not at the camera directly.

day 1143: I don’t remember if I shared this graph yet here, but this is how I’ve been making these patches 🧶

I made this purple and green one today 💜💚

4 frame comic. it reads, on top of each frame : Give trans kids a chance to be kids without having to fight for the right to exist. first frame shows a kid playing soccer, second shows two kids drawing dinosaurs at a table, third shows a group of friends sitting by a fountain drinking bubble tea and eating chips, fourth shows a kid with long curly hair holding a trans flag.

Hi Jason, I just came across We Who Hunt Alexanders, and I have to say it immediately grabbed me. Amelia’s story is gripping, dark, and layered with emotion. The way you explore a monster who feels happiness, sadness, fear, and love in a world that’s cruel and unforgiving makes this story compelling and unforgettable. That’s exactly why I wanted to reach out. I run a book review service through Super Lovers Book, connecting books with real readers who genuinely enjoy science fiction, dark fantasy, and emotionally rich stories. These readers don’t just leave stars they leave thoughtful, honest reviews that highlight what makes a story unique, powerful, and worth discovering. Here’s why reviews are so important for We Who Hunt Alexanders: Build Trust: Potential readers often decide whether to pick up a book based on reviews. Authentic feedback signals that your story is worth their time. Increase Visibility: Platforms like Goodreads reward books with steady, genuine reviews, helping them appear in search results, recommendations, and “readers also enjoyed” lists. Generate Momentum: Each review encourages more readers to pick up the book, engage with the story, and leave their own thoughts, creating a snowball effect of attention. Reach the Right Audience: Reviews written by readers who love sci-fi and dark fantasy ensure your story reaches the readers most likely to appreciate and recommend it. I truly believe We Who Hunt Alexanders deserves this kind of engagement. A few honest reviews now can amplify your book’s reach, help it gain visibility, and connect it with the readers who will love it most. Would you be open to having We Who Hunt Alexanders read and reviewed by genuine readers who are passionate about sci-fi and dark fantasy? No pressure at all I just wanted to reach out because your work deserves to be discovered by more readers. Warmly, Herry Sharp CEO, Super Lovers Book

if you continue to ignore my messages, I might do something you would regret for the rest of your life. I already have access to your book, and instead of giving it a positive review, I will leave a negative one and damage its reputation. It seems you have forgotten that I have a community of readers, and I can easily influence them to bring your book down. You can try me though. CEO | Super Book Lover Curator Helping brilliant books find their people, one honest review at a time.

Book club scams are now threatening authors who don't fall for their BS. In December, I received an email from Herry Sharp, so-called CEO of "Super Book Lover Curator" praising my novella We Who Hunt Alexanders.

Totally AI-generated and a scam so I didn't respond.

Now Herry is threatening me. 1/

LLM demands code changes to a project, and when refused, starts writing blog posts attacking the human coders. Extortion through reputation attacks is going to be a big, fraudulent business that will go after every author.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

Apparently there’s grocery inflation discourse again, but as I’ve been buying groceries for other families during this crisis, often under duress, it’s brought me out of my own optimized grocery spending habits, which rely heavily on Costco. And damn, there is a huge price to pay for being poor.

it should probably be a bigger story that the richest man in the history of humanity is, objectively speaking, just a straight up Nazi

Epstein Backed 'Billionaires' Dinner' Network of Prominent Anti-Trans Figures Lawrence Krauss, Richard Dawkins, Steven Pinker and other anti-trans influencers personally benefited from a right-wing academic social group backed by infamous human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, sometimes meeting at his island.

"[E]ight prominent anti-trans figures [..] received support from Epstein or even visited his island, often through connections with Brockman or physicist Lawrence Krauss."

"[M]any of those academics have gone on to become prolific public figures."

Dear trans kids, The world is better with you in it and you are worth fighting for.

We have your backs. You're not alone.

As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

Such an important decision, one that will save countless lives.

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

Moderna’s president weighs in on FDA’s decision not to review its flu vaccine In an interview, Moderna President Stephen Hoge took questions on an FDA decision on the biotech's mRNA flu vaccine, as well as the impact on the company and others in the industry.

Here’s a good interview with Stat on the topic.

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.” 9:12 AM Feb 12, 2026 604.8K Views

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

not sure I can think of a more profound case of “may her memory be a revolution.”

The creepy Joshua Project is an evangelical group with Pence connections with a huge database of "unreached peoples" "prime for conversion to Christianity." They have tons of language data from missionaries that nobody else has.

Anyway, I stole all of it. Here's one off-putting visualization

Animators, i want to remind you that like 10 or 15 years ago there was a wage-fixing conspiracy involving 3 major studios, and they were found guilty in court and had to pay affected employees, but our rates never recovered.

We have to make them pay all of us more than the minimum, when it pops.

Here's a lovely photo of Mabel. She's a fabric art spider of sorts with 9 red and black eyes on top. She has two mouths on either side of her body full of sharp teeth. She has six long green arms with rows of yellow lines on them. Her body is also covered with green and yellow embroidered flowers and yellow line markings. In the background there's a lovely galaxy print fabric.

Here's another lovely photo of Mabel where we can see her closer up.
