@moonrabbit I have a relaxing weekend ahead. Tomorrow night for dinner I'm making steak, potatoes, and green beans. It'll be my first time cooking green beans, so I'm excited to try that. :plushtodon_green:

Saturday we're going to a community potluck and "really free market" where we bring things we no longer want to share with those who need or want them. Basically a free charity shop. It's Covid safe, matke required and outside. It'll be our first time going so I'm excited to meet new folks in our community. :happy_sushi:

How is your weekend shaping up?

Dear Afrin,

You're right. Your product is really effective and cleared up my severe nasal/sinus congestion in under 5 minutes.

However, that shit was like shooting weaponized menthol straight into my head. Holy fuck, was it supposed to burn like that? I mean, yes, I can now smell Putin's butt and inhale freely but at what price?

You might need to add ONE bullet point about the burn.

Sincerely,
My Nose Hairs

@GovTrack can't do anything but enrich themselves while we're struggling. Gah.

T-shirt I saw at a thrift store today:

#math #puns

At the top, an incorrect math equation claiming that the square root of negative four is equal to two. 

Caption: it’s all fun and games until someone loses an i.

Important note : the i is the italic letter i that should have been attached to the two in the equation to indicate an imaginary number. (The square root of negative four is imaginary two.)

The FDA decided not to even review Moderna's mRNA flu vaccines for approval, even though the studies the FDA would be reviewing were conducted the way the FDA told Moderna to do them.

Now #Moderna expects that none of its other #mRNA #vaccines will be reviewed, and has halted studies on vaccines for EBV, HSV, and shingles.

A lot of people with herpes would be angry if they found out.

A lot of people who have family members with #MS -- now thought to be caused in part by EBV -- will be livid.

Screenshot of a post on X/Twitter by @LeahLibresco, dated Feb 12 2026:

"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.”

I posted this earlier today, but realized it was not a reasonable time for US folks. So here goes: The big is now on sale, 20% off. Only available in the US, shipping locally. There are 87 left and we will likely never make one of this size again. I have some cool new things planned and clearing them out would be a big help. Thanks!
