GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.

See but I wouldn't think is unreliability would have been clear in his first term, but maybe everything running smoothly, at least in comparison to right now, masked the effect he can really have on the economic and political system.

This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again.

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

This is an incredibly obvious instance of projection and mirroring, revealing how Casey Babb thinks of both Bari Weiss and Van Jones not as individuals but as fungible and replaceable assets (tokens?) within a general category.

Nathan Kalman-Lamb @nkalamb.bsky.social · 4d

A useful illustration of the limits of liberal identity politics.

It's astounding to see self-described progressives lose their minds over the successes of a Jewish female entrepreneur and intellect in @bariweiss, and a wildly successful Black man in @VanJones68. I guess equity, diversity, and inclusion don't mean as much as they've told us.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

"There are no safe spaces for artists" is false. If you are exclusively discussing social media, yeah, that's true, but as far as websites go? Newgrounds still exists, y'all. No advertisers, still allows nsfw and porn. Always has, always will.

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government.

They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights.

We must fight back.

PSA for all YouTubers: they've been pushing auto AI language dubs onto channels recently, and for many viewers it's on by default and some can't even turn it off at all.
To disable it for your channel go to YouTube Studio > Settings > Upload Defaults > Advanced Settings

This move is cruel, dangerous & unjustified
