I was brought up to believe in the strength of three pillars: The Importance of Family, Patriotism towards Our Great Nation™️, and Absolute Obedience to the Christian Faith (Southern Baptist Division.)
Everything the first pillar taught me about the second two has proved to be a lie on their part.

As an armchair scholar of no great accomplishment who just keeps coming back to “this is clearly a grift operation” and then feels like I must be missing something because yards of words are still spooling out by the hour about this mess, I feel very seen.
Someone is going to have the write the thing about how “vibe” has become a substitute for meaningful theory in a world where the theory is so clear — grift and power — but we collectively refuse if because it isn’t sophisticated enough to generate make work for empiricists.

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.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

Farm Lady is spitting facts this evening!
US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."
Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.
Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.
We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.
Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.
Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.
Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

I’m trying to keep up, I really am, but damn I’m old.
So do I have this right: the Extremely Online head of the FBI missed that all the evidence on the bullets were 4chan memes, the suspect's social media is full of groyper memes, and he was only caught because his LEO father taught him how to shoot but not about STFU Friday?

TIL that for some people with irreparably damaged corneas, you can pull one of their teeth, drill a hole in it, install an artificial lens, sew it into their cheek (so tissue attaches), then pull it out and stick it in their damaged eye, and ... it works fine!?! www.nbcboston.com/news/health/...
Man, 34, is no longer blind after tooth is implanted in eye in 'crazy' surgery
Tooth-in-eye surgery sounds like science fiction, but it can help people with severely damaged corneas see again. A patient and his doctors describe what it's like.

Former Army Sniper here. Had a few drinks. Finally saw the video. Guess I'll give my two cents. So it's really hard to say anything with certainty without knowing the caliber/rifle used but I'll speak in generalities and then make some assumptions. A shot like this at 200 meters can be difficult
Agreed. I'm leaning towards "amateur with experience at a shooting range," but no someone with training shooting from elevated positions and so forth, hence hitting in a spot that no one would intentionally target.
