Wonderful news. A salutary reminder of the absolute benefits of scientific progress, and the absolute evil of conspiracist bollocks.

I really appreciate the work that
@heyjohnrussell.bsky.social and
@moreperfectunion.bsky.social are doing to reach poor white voters in red states.

I’ve always thought that getting Bernie Sanders in front of Trump voters would be fruitful and it was.

👏👏👏

This is hilarious. Even the Dutch are way ahead of us in seeing how bad things are in the United States with Donald Trump running amok and corporations capitulating to fascism.

But, then again, the Netherlands has experience with being taken over by fascists.

WHY do we let the tech industry do whatever the fuck it wants?

I, for one, don’t WANT the future Silicone Valley is shoving down our throats.

NO to strangers being able to dox me as I walk down the street.

NO to them being able to do it to my daughters.

Scientists at the University of Florida have created a breakthrough mRNA cancer vaccine that erased deadly brain tumors in early human trials without chemo or radiation. Tested on four glioblastoma patients, the vaccine reprogrammed their immune systems within 48 hours to attack the tumor.

Scientists in Vienna have created a leather alternative from mushroom mycelium that’s stronger, more flexible, & more fire-resistant than animal hide. Grown in low-oxygen chambers & treated with non-toxic enzymes, it’s biodegradable, cruelty-free, & without harmful chemicals or environmental damage.
