It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked.

The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.”

This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

Remember, kids, if Santa asks you whether you’ve been naughty or nice this year, you should always say, “Am I being detained?”

The truth is truthing. 😝 And still, I'd spend another twenty years doing nonprofit work!
Optimist: the cup is half full

Pessimist: the cup is half empty

Nonprofits: imagine a world where everyone’s cups are full—what does the cup feel like in your hand? what can you taste, as you picture the cup? where will the cup be in ten, twenty, one hundred years?
Optimist: the cup is half full

Pessimist: the cup is half empty

Mircobiologist: the cup is full. Just look at what grew on this plate when wd swabbed the inside of the cup and the sequences we recovered from the filtered air.

Next time you're applying for a job, tell your prospective employer you'd prefer they not do a background check.

Let's see how that goes.
