$50 mil seems low for the leader of Qanon who used military tactics to psyop millions of Americans into turning their backs on their country and to defend a sick, twisted pedophile-protecting insurgency to coup the United States.

This isn't justice. This is a payoff.
Unforgivable.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford Medicine have devised an influenza vaccine that prompts immunity to ALL four major flu subtypes AND shows potential against bird flu, indicating a significant advancement in flu prevention and a potential increase in vaccine efficacy. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

I wish people would post more links to interesting things

I feel like Twitter and LinkedIn and Instagram and TikTok have pushed a lot of people out of the habit of doing that, by penalizing shared links in the various "algorithms"

Bluesky doesn't have that misfeature, thankfully!

"McMaster is about to begin Phase 2 trials on a COVID-19 vaccine that is inhaled using a device similar to an asthma inhaler. It is the most promising mucosal COVID-19 vaccine under development in Canada and is expected to be tested in Canadian cities, including Ottawa, next year."

Is this the way COVID ends? Next-generation inhaled vaccines could be the key to ending pandemic
Existing COVID-19 vaccines can prevent severe disease, but not infection. A new hope comes in the form of needle-free mucosal vaccines.
