Given that almost every voice actor and audio engineer has cursed whoever invented leaf blowers more than once, that inventor might be in purgatory for a long, long time.... 🤪

Don't post a lot of original stuff, since I can generally find something similar to what I would have written posted by somebody else.

We were developing vaccines for cancer and HIV and they canceled that extremely promising research because they hate people and don’t care if we die
mRNA vaccines are, without exaggeration, one of the greatest inventions in human history.
We basically hacked our immune systems. “Here’s the secret code for this new virus, prep to fight exactly that.” A promising avenue for addressing some cancers too.
And the US is throwing it away. For what?

On June 6, 1944, 81 years ago, the US and allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe from Hitler’s tyrannic rule. These brave soldiers gave their lives to defend democracy.
We must honor them by continuing the fight against authoritarianism and fascism in all its forms.
