I wrote a couple of weeks ago how our current medical establishment is recycling COVID myths to minimize measles.

The U.S. Built a Blueprint to Avoid Civilian War Casualties. Trump Officials Scrapped It. The Pentagon dismantled its civilian protection mission as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority and the Trump administration reorganized national security around two principl...

Just out @propublica.org: How did the Pentagon make the horrible mistake that left more than 150 school children dead? Perhaps because it cancelled an effort to limit such harm in favor of Hegseth’s lust for “lethality.”

I wish Hegseth would just say that he doesn’t care that he murdered 174 little girls rather than telling these stupid lies to cover up the fact that they disabled the intelligence officer that might have prevented this calamity

Heating oil prices in the UK have trebled in a week. 2 million homes, no price cap protection, no warning.

Heat pumps + solar are multiple times more efficient, don’t require an oil tank and oil deliveries and are an insurance against such frightening price spikes.

I returned my neuroscience grant to devote my career to the climate crisis US psychologist Adam Aron says it’s time to act to alleviate the devastating consequences of the planet’s current trajectory.

"I think many people in academia could do more if they wanted to. They could reorient part of their research line to the climate crisis in a similar way to how, during [WWII], many people repurposed themselves for the war effort. Or...be an activist or advocate."

"But unlike [Renee Good and Alex Pretti], Martinez was not protesting - he was driving by the scene of a road accident where ICE officers were helping to direct traffic."

Scientists Discover Way To Reverse Chemical Process Linked With Alzheimer’s Disease By watching Alzheimer’s-related protein clumping unfold second by second, researchers have uncovered new clues about the role of metal ions.

This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

I like this analogy, and I'm going to try to figure out how to expand it to encompass the fact that at volumes greater than a sip—a novel, a movie, even a three-minute video clip—AI turns inevitably to bilgewater.

Insanity.

Trump is not the unfortunate victim of job “losses”; he is destroying jobs, especially manufacturing jobs. And in savaging medical and scientific grants and going to war with universities, Trump is further undercutting one of America’s greatest sources of long-term growth and productivity

BOOK REC TIME TO ALLL

He *still* thinks "asylum seekers" means "came out of a mental asylum".

LOUIS!! 😍

These people think so illogically. Trans women were transed out of being the gay men they ‘really’ are, and, next they’re going to go prey on WOMEN in bathrooms??

The CIA-backed coup against Prime Minister Mosaddegh which installed the Shah is also key for understanding why some Iranians invaded the U.S. embassy in 1979 (tragically taking the employees hostage). Many believed the prior coup was planned in the embassy and feared another would happen.

I don't think you have to Nostradamus to figure that bombing Iran might raise oil prices. And it seems pretty obvious that buying oil in advance of causing an oil price spike might just save Americans a lot of money. But...

...maybe there wasn't much planning?

This is why I find it interesting that, in the week after this person (the 7th US service member killed in Trump's illegal war), DOD never managed to evacuate them to Ramstein to treat injuries suffered on March 1.

Wait what?

Again, the unifying 🧵 about Trump’s foreign policy is not realism or neo-royalism. It’s the extension of sexual assault/predation/partner abuse to IR. If he thinks you’re his macho pal, he’ll respect you/your sovereignty. If not, he’ll try to violate you & humiliate you. Epstein-ism, if you like.

I bought a book on talking to kids about sex when my oldest was about six. First thing it said - the best thing you can do to prevent suicide in your kids is talk to them about people being gay like it’s normal. So we did. Worked great. Just wish we’d thought to include trans people in that!

The thing is, these are conversations a parent should be having cheerfully, calmly, over and over again throughout their children's lives. There is no BIG DIFFICULT conversation unless the parent has been, sorry, frankly, fucking up and being a pusillanimous titwhistle for years.

Isata Kanneh-Mason absolutely tears through Rachmaninoff’s fiendish Piano Concerto No. 3 with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

Ask yourself where all that money went? (Spoiler: to those who need it least) — Trump continues to make the rich richer. Heads they win, tails we lose.

Yet we always have money for war and bombs. They don’t care really about the debt and never did.

I don't know if Trump thinks in these terms, but I do think he believes that he can leverage chaotic situations (see also tariffs) which causes him to double down in cases where the costs are going to be borne by others

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

Okay this is funny

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.
