The amount of connections to scientists working in the field of genomics that I'm finding in the Epstein emails is terrifying, disgusting, and sadly unsurprising
We need to deeply investigate how much these scientists actually knew, or how much they were involved
There need to be consequences

Jeffrey Epstein justified his evil actions with "science"
Evolutionary biologists whispering in his ear about how men and women are fundamentally different, and it's "natural" to desire younger women

I really respect how much American corporations are committed to killing their customers unless absolutely forced not to.
Congress’s shutdown deal eliminated key food safety rules, blocking agencies from enforcing measures to prevent contamination and trace outbreaks. This rollback has coincided with a surge in hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses.

The gutting of these rules coincides with a huge increase in hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses.

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

"Defiance is simply acting in accordance with your true values, especially when there is pressure to do otherwise. So it doesn’t need to be dramatic or loud or confrontational; it’s just acting in a way that’s aligned to who you want to be. And so it becomes this proactive positive force."
As children many of us are taught that being “good” means being obedient: doing what we’re told by authority figures. But that conditioning can make it incredibly difficult to speak up when we know something is wrong. How can we learn to overcome these instincts when it really counts?

The number one thing Nintendo and Pokemon discourse has taught me is my parents were right to give me a Mega Drive as my first console because growing up a Sega kid by default meant intuitively learning the Buddhist principle of impermanence with regard to anything I like and I'm healthier for it.
