Tech has really ruined a lot, but the next frontier of not ruining things is medical.

Nobel prize for mRNA vaccines is appropriate.

Initial mRNA vaccines being worked on with this technique.

This list, from the above website, is LITERALLY WHAT THE VACCINES WILL CURE:
85 years later, people mostly still really hate Nazis. Yes, a microcosm of Americans are not rooting for Indiana Jones.

Those in & around the administration are morons looking at short-term plays.

The long ball consequences of their legacy will be disastrously unkind. I know it doesn't help now.
An entire room full of powerful old white people smiling and laughing as the president dehumanizes black immigrants and the first black president.

Just fucking pathetic.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

Take it or leave it whether you believe there is good corporate governance, but Purina is investing in dog friendly domestic violence shelters because a lot of people apparently do not get out of bad situations earlier, because they can't leave with their pets. That seems important, and good.

Supreme Eternal Leader Americanbaşy, King of Greenland, Conqueror of Canada, gazes down upon his subjects.

Official statistics place inflation at negative 45%, GDP growth at 1488%, and “Gross National MAHAness” at 47 out of 10.
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

What movie have you seen multiple times and don't remember one thing about it?

I tried to watch the new Jurassic Park a few times, & it reminds me of the GI Joe film Snake eyes, the best of the three, which I think I've seen probably 12 times because I don't remember one second of it. 😆 Give up!

Kumail Nanjiani said the Sharknado franchise isn't necessarily realistic because the sharks would be dizzy and dead. @kumail.bsky.social fair assessment.

Sen. Roger Marshall, on MS NOW, says he doesn't know the "details" and can't comment on Trump's pardon of a former Honduran leader who was convicted of major drug trafficking. That's the go-to move by GOP lawmakers these days: ignorance of things that they're being paid to know about.
December 3, 2025 at 2:35 PM
The end stop for conservativism is being uninformed or acting ignorant.
Q: You outlined the dangers posed by drugs. So what explanation do you have for Trump pardoning the former president of Honduras?

SEN. ROGER MARSHALL: I don't know the details. Happy to look into it. I can't speak to it

Q: Alright. Um. Ok. Like, no thought on it?

MARSHALL: I haven't researched it

Also please stop following ancient archaic vestigial traditions that make no sense. Sabering is always dumb, every time.

Also?

*Enjoy your champagne*... drink it out of a white wine glass. These flutes and coupe are for the birds and show boating charlatan, snake oiler, unimaginative bores.
This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen in the 30 years of food and beverage I have been around.

Sabering attempts are from desperate people needy for attention and drunken kitchen crews way too late on New Year's Eve.

But marketing a champagne saber to sit in your wine room is dumb & gross.

Unless you're EU / Japan, it isn't some noble binary choice.

In USA, if you have to rely on public transportation you are significantly more troubled, marginalized, late, & things are precarious.

If it take 3 hours on public transportation vs 40 mins in a car, that is part of the equation. Sadly.
