Um, no - just flowers here...

“Jocelyn also echoed Nolen's overall message of reminding people that the best way to protect against measles is the MMR vaccine, which the Utah Department of Health and Human Services said is 97% effective after two doses.”

Yeah, surprise!

This is the world that RFK Jr dreamed of—now that he runs the US health system he’s able to achieve his dreams each & every day, aided & abetted by Drs Bhattacharya, Makary, Høeg, Kulldorff, Prasad & Oz

We can’t rebuild the devastation until all 7 of these federal health agency leaders are gone

Starting to look - and smell! - like spring around here! 😊

Seems appropriate that my collection of the history of eugenics is held up by these low ranking disposable foot soldiers of fascism.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

"Waddington's Landscape: No fate but what we make"

Epstein files: Missing FBI documents related to Trump allegations released Donald Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to Jeffrey Epstein, and his press secretary said allegations in the newly released files are "baseless".

Under the cover of war, the US DoJ has just quietly released some of the missing Epstein files that directly relate to Trump.

In which, he is accused of sexual assault by a then 13 year old who says he tried to force oral sex on her.

Shameless. news.sky.com/story/epstei...

unembarrassed enthusiasm about learning new things is genuinely the best way to live

The billionaires' eugenics project: how Epstein infiltrated Harvard, muzzled the humanities and preached master-race science Edge - Jeffrey Epstein's favourite intellectual salon - was sold to me as a gathering of the world's finest minds, writes Virginia Heffernan. The files reveal it was something far darker: a decades-lo...

Crucial and powerful essay by @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social. Lest we forget.

Some public-health experts and science commentators were saying this at the time. For all the wonders of rapid tests and then vaccines, we could not science our way out of problems that were not science problems at their core.

The science is as over-hyped and borderline fraudulent as the ethics are thorny (and that doesn't even count the George Church, friend of Epstein angle)

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

A sickening society is clear in these statistics

So why is it not in the news?

Powerful wake-up call from @chakrabortty.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It just needs David Attenborough narrating

Yes, yes, and yes! 😊

There must be something functional there that points to where and why consciousness has evolved? Eg if a stimulus leads directly to a response, no consciousness is needed. But if a decision is needed - eg the response is mediated in some way - then consciousness becomes useful???

First inkings of consciousness. Sensing and responding to biological forces in order to try to survive and thrive. It starts early.

Videos like this are utterly cathartic.

I want EVERY Dem to throw away decorum and politeness and start YELLING the truth, like Rep. McGovern.

His lack of scientific background is one of several concerning aspects of his candidacy.

A clear “NO” on confirmation.

The best science thread you will read today! Multicellularity is amazing.

And I found myself rooting for it to succeed.
