smurfs are the size they are because the lack internal structure. they are closer to gelatinous lichens than they are true fungi. they cannot grow larger without dedicated vasculature in our current oxygen environment. millions of years ago when there was more oxygen they were substantially larger.

They don’t have a ceolem and are closer to nematodes than Homo sapiens. Gargamel is actually large protozoan.

They continue to eviscerate the public health machinery that has quietly kept Americans, and others around the world, safe and healthy for decades.

The staff of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the journal that reports on health trends and emerging infectious threats, was also laid off. The publication’s storied history includes a June 1981 report that five previously healthy gay men were treated for an unusual pneumonia — the first hint of the AIDS epidemic.

Roughly 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers — the so-called “disease detectives” who respond to outbreaks around the globe — received layoff notices, according to a person familiar with them. The service was spared during an earlier round of layoffs in February.

you have to at least entertain the thesis that bari weiss has been propped up and sustained by moneyed elite interests with an agenda, and that there is no organic market for her zionist flattery out in the border mass market

ralph wiggum telling his parents And then he opened the seventh seal, and then there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels and they were standing before-god. And seven trumpets were given to them. And another angel - he had a golden censer - he came and he stood at the alter.

Oof. Yikes 😬 thanks for letting me know. I’m softblocking him right now. Sorry I saw a pedantic correction he made a while back and followed. Didn’t know he doesn’t use alt text on every single image that he does on his free dumbass posts for people who voluntarily follow him.

Everyone’s dunking on this and I hate to go anatomic pathologist on medsky but he’s right by accident, the amniotic membrane is part of the placenta and fetus is inside that

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."
