There is no plan to prevent the next pandemic or protect people when it inevitably hits.
Wearing a mask is an act of resistance and community care.

I do honestly think trump is senile enough that the mayor of New York is sort of instinctively an impressive person to him that he wants to please, despite being the fucking president

idk whether to be impressed at mamdani's sheer herculean likeability or unnerved at the candid glimpse into the level of cognitive dissonance the average politician maintains on the regular either way this makes me feel like my brain is on fire
A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.
Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

literally "Trump comes out of the meeting gushing over how cool Zohran is while Zohran diplomatically Does Not Reciprocate" is the only possible way this could have gone and it is so fucking funny
the thing that's always been the core of trump is that he is a simpering idiot whose beliefs most closely align with those of the last charismatic person he talked to

Based on what I've heard about how Mamdani charmed Adams, I am totally unsurprised that he managed the same with Trump.

"In the first three months of 2025, the U.S. tallied 6,600 cases — four times last year's pace and 25 times 2023's. Several states are posting their highest case totals in a decade, and outbreaks from Louisiana to South Dakota to Idaho make clear this surge isn't regional. It's everywhere." 🧪

New details from health officials suggest the whooping cough surge may be part of a national pattern driven by slipping vaccine coverage and waning immunity, with infants bearing the brunt.

Fascinating. A gut bacteria (Aeromonas variant) makes a toxin called aerolysin that kills gut macrophages and increases inflammation in Ulcerative Colitis.
Anti-aerolysin antibodies stopped the colitis in mice. Wow!
Could this be a new treatment for UC?

Everybody's favorite extremophile, the tardigrade, is sometimes also called the "moss piglet" because supposedly that's where you can find them in your yard.
Now we have learned about an extremophile moss, so future space tardigrades can have a place to come home to!
