THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

Leser om butikkar som selger adventskalendrar til tolv føkkings tusen kroner og får litt lyst til å slenge saman ein nettadventskalender der du i staden for å få ein gave kvar dag får eit vippsnummer til ein bra organisasjon som faktisk trenger pengane dine til noko som betyr noko

GOOD NEWS! A groundbreaking study in MORE THAN 1,000 people reveals that cancer patients who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine within 100 days of starting immunotherapy lived dramatically LONGER than those who didn’t. In some cases, their survival rate was DOUBLED.

I will no longer be distributing any of my work on #spotify, on main or on @umbraoceania.bsky.social. If you haven't switched streaming platforms yet, I urge you to switch to one that pays artists, doesn't use generative AI work, and doesn't invest in tools of war. #MusicianSky

It's wild how bad XML CDATA is. Ooh text that doesn't need to be escaped, sounds fantastic! But CDATA can't include the string "]]>" and can't be nested. Hard to design a more useless feature than that

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Y’all know this is true right? 😆 Mathematics isn’t empirical, so how could it follow the scientific method?
It’s critical to science but, like logic, isn’t science. It’s a *building block* of science.
