This movie, iirc, plays into every eugenics talking point.
2 to the 166th is an underestimate for at least a couple of reasons. One is that there may be more than two versions of any of those 166 genes, with each version having a different effect. The other is that it ignores the influence of environmental factors such as diet and sun exposure.
I will start explaining what the position of the two far to your left dots show to teach you how to interpret this graph. The bottom age 0 dot is a blue diamond shaped dot that shows that the age 0 deaths in Rep voting states in 1999-2003 was 127% of the age 0 deaths in Dem voting states at the same time. The red square is at 145 and that tells you that in 2018-2021 the under age 1 deaths in Rep voting states was 145.1% of the same in Dem voting states. In general there are three groups that show similar patterns. While the under age 20 dots bounce around a lot all but one of the pairs, age 9, show increases in the percent the Republican states are of the Democrat voting states. From age 20 to age 35 the pattern is unique. The early data starts going up at age 20 to be joined at age 25 then at age 30 the early data starts heading down while the 2018-2021 data does that at age 35. The cause of these unusual patterns is this is the age group that starts having health care payments monopolized by capitalist health insurance. Over these ages, both times show similar increases in death rates but the later one has it happen a few years later. The lines of dots for ages 35 and up show a larger increase in death rates in Rep voting states over the same in Dem voting states. The major difference is in the earlier data the line of early dots from about age 47 to age 57 is level. In general the death rates in Rep voting states have increased more than in the Dem voting states.

What's up? The amount that the single year age death rates in Republican voting states are higher than the same measures of death rates in Democrat voting states. This graph simplifies complex data. 🧪💡☠️ #Sociology #Population #Politics
Starbucks Workers United baristas are escalating their fight for a fair contract.
I urge you to keep boycotting Starbucks — and delete its app from your phone.
Workers are fed up with low pay, chaotic scheduling, understaffing, and illegal union busting.
Let's keep fighting corporate greed.
This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.
This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

The @ocagnc.org annual studio tour is the first two weekends in November. Over 100 artists in over 80 locations across #OrangeCounty #NC. I'm exhibiting and would love to meet you all. #art #ChapelHill
I'd hate to be the car in the next lane or a pedestrian/bicyclist at the side of the road when this spits a burning ball of Li ion battery in my direction. #OMFG #thinkitthrough #epicfail #unintendconsequences

The background is actually UV reactive paint on the model's skin from a different shoot.

Not sure about this one. What do you see first? How long does it take to see the #couple? I love #portraits of #couples that are #art but my wife says the background might be too much in this.

Maybe that is part of the explanation. I don't do much that is plain and post almost none. Your work is really flattering. I can see how that'd be attractive to them.
That's interesting. Where are you located?
I used to shoot about 50 models a year, mostly art nudes. However, since moving from Michigan to North Carolina I have had far fewer models interested in shooting art. I'm wondering if it is related to it being in the south.
Its delay, not an end game. Iran has vowed to destroy them and repeatedly attacks them with proxies. They feel a need to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power lest they end up like Ukraine, at war with allies pulling punches because the adversary has nukes. A nuclear Iran is an existential threat.

Not sure about Wegovy. I have acquaintances who use injections and they say that you get used to it quickly.
Lots of drugs have good side effects. Often doctors use drugs "off label" because the effect isn't well enough studied. Other times, the drug is rebranded for a new purpose. For example, Rogaine was a vasodilator used to treat high blood pressure before they noticed the side effects on hair loss.

No. You get inexperienced lawmakers leaning on lobbyists, lots of term limited people doing favors to secure their next jobs, and discourage people from entering public service since jobs are even less secure. I've seen that at the state level. It's awful.
