Science is on the cusp of saving so many lives but the richest country in the history of the world is like “nah…take supplements”
Just as this news was announced:
mRNA cancer vaccine shows protection at 5-year follow-up, Moderna and Merck say
The vaccines are tailor-made to target each patient’s unique cancer.

an important distinction that headlines need to start making is that *actual people* are using grok to generate much of this abhorrent content. grok doesn’t have free will, grok cannot do anything without being prompted, grok is not responsible for itself.
“In just nine days, Grok posted more than 4.4 million images. A review by The Times conservatively estimated that at least 41 percent of posts, or 1.8 million, most likely contained sexualized imagery of women.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/t...

i'd like to have an open discussion abt how much of the hatred for trans masc ppl is just an excuse to do misogyny that ppl would object to if we were cis women, but i'm not sure i'd have the patience to explain how saying i experience misogyny as a trans dude isn't misgendering myself over & over.

Thinking about how bsky has the most horrible setting turned on by default that says "i don't want to see any other languages except English" and if no one tells you to put it on "no selection" you straight up won't see posts from people set to different languages on your TL.

Greenland is Inuit Land. US & Europe playing tug of war with Kalaallit Nunaat, it will be Indigenous people who suffer most. Colonization is not a distant history.
Under a colonial system built on white supremacy violence never disappears it only reiterates itself, sometimes dressed up differently.

![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)

Look at what we did TOGETHER! Comic-con has quietly changed their language and will NOT allow GenAi imagery in their art show!
And this happened because you all wrote letters, and shared your concerns! Speaking up works EVERY time!
So congrats friends! We did this together!!!

San Diego Comic-Con will no longer allow AI 'art' to be displayed at their event
"Material created by AI either partially or wholly, is not allowed in the art show"
This follows backlash from artists after SDCC initially indicated AI-generated work would be permitted

Scientists have used artificial intelligence to create an enzyme that can eat one of the toughest plastics on Earth. The enzyme breaks polyurethane down into reusable chemicals in just 12 hours at 50°C, turning it back into raw materials. Truly circular recycling. buff.ly/oUxRjjl #ShareGoodNewsToo

How is this not inciting violence?
Why must they remind ICE that they have immunity?
One of their agents just shot a killed a woman in broad daylight and they’re effectively telling them to go ahead and do whatever they want because they’re above the law.
Be safe Minneapolis.
