At the heart of every issue is a coalition of rich dudes trying to dodge liability

The H5N1 sequence found in the hospitalized teenager shows two important mutations that improve the virus's ability to bind to human α2,6 sialic acid receptors.

This adaptation is crucial for the virus's potential to spread between humans.

The virus is evolving.

It's disturbing seeing some medical and public health professionals trying to normalize RFK Jr by saying "we have to meet him halfway."

NOPE.

RFK is a charlatan who has deliberately spread disinformation that has killed people.

Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

"Solar panels don’t just generate energy; they also create a beneficial microclimate for crops. By keeping the crops cooler during the day and warmer at night, the panels reduce heat stress and the risk of frost damage, which is particularly important in a changing climate."

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but apparently it’s not obvious enough:

The effectiveness of a vaccine—even the effectiveness for you, personally—doesn’t just depend on you taking it. It depends on other people taking it. The more the better.

Epidemics are complex systems, with feedback effects. https://mas.to/@gleick/113493200280387680

In a surprise move, RFK Jr selects a virus to lead the NIH.

@MissingThePt yep, mainly #RFKJr being said virus

I deleted my bird account several years ago when #Muskrat took over. I have deleted my #Instagram account today. I want nothing to do with #CorporateMedia any longer. I also want those of you that aren’t #American that not all of us are truculent, overbearing maniacal #fascists. I’m truly disappointed and disgusted with the choices so many have made concerning the incoming “Administration” #Shameful #Angry We’re on a terrible path

If you use AI generated crap to illustrate something: STOP.

If you care about the environment AT ALL, stop using AI.
If you care about artists of any kind, stop using AI.

Reagan brought us trickle down and mass firing of union workers, which had a big destructive impact on organized labor's power. But let's not forget that Clinton then brought us NAFTFA and the negative impact that, too, had on organized labor.

Sick of hearing worthless billionaire leeches mouth empty words about the value of "hard work" and "entrepreneurial spirit" when everything they do is predicated on stealing the fruits of someone else's productive labor.

At what point will journalists and state prosecutors finally attempt to protect us and their own children from a horde of idiots who believe that increasing GDP, by wasting resources and energy, fighting over money, generates prosperity?

The good angel on my shoulder hates to see this and feels for these people.

The bad, pissed off vindictive devil on the other shoulder is LMAO and screaming You did this to yourselves SUCKERS!

Edit: It is very possible the info in this screenshot is not real. If so I apologize for posting it. I guess that bad, pissed off vindictive devil of mine is winning on too many fronts.

If you don't want to see people on the street, house them.

Every time policymakers or private companies tried to undermine your rights online during the last Trump administration, we were there. In preparation for the next four years, here’s just some of the groundwork we’ve already laid: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/11/2024-us-election-over-eff-ready-whats-next

Half the country wants to make this line go up even faster.

Today, I withdrew my name and photo from being listed as a veteran during the weekly Monday meeting at my job for Veteran's Day. Not really proud of having served a country that ended up making me feel most unwelcome by voting in a traitorous, insurrectionist, racist, bigoted felon.
