Trends that are over in 2026: If the only interaction you offer people is when you think they have something to offer you career-wise👎
Trends that we’re embracing in 2026: Genuine interactions and getting to know someone just because👍

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a heteromultivalent nanogel capable of killing some of the MOST dangerous bacteria known to medicine- with OVER 99.9% effectiveness against P. aeruginosa. It also showed STRONG antibacterial effects against other major threats, including E. coli and MRSA.

Hi, we don’t use genAI in any phase of production ESPECIALLY CONCEPTING because doing so would defeat the purpose and role of concepting. Ok bye!

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

A quick and dirty way to start sussing this out is to ask yourself, “Is this person really trying to help a group of people or does it look like they’re trying to punish someone right now, in this moment?”
Yeah. Sometimes, behind all the bellowing and bluster and fluency in social justice verbiage, you might observe a person’s behavior and realize their vision of justice is just “When is it my turn at the top? When is it my turn to do the violence?”

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.
Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.
It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.
That’s it.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

Yolo often stands with his little back toes crossed, which I find ridiculously cute!
You can see vultures don't have bulky feet and talons built for grasping/carrying like other raptors. Their more chicken-like feet are meant for bracing on food to pull at it with their powerful beaks, instead.
