Palm oil production got a lot of backlash for deforestation and human rights abuses. It's cleaned up its act, but not entirely.

Enter the startups, creating pricey synthetic palm oil alternatives in a lab. Do we need them?

The Problems With Palm Oil — and Its Alternatives - Offrange
Though the $70 billion palm oil industry has made real progress in reducing deforestation, biotech companies are trying to brew up synthetic alternatives. Can they scale?

Charité University Hospital in Berlin reports that CAR-T-cell therapy has sent people with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis into remission.

They lose autoantibodies and symptoms disappear.

Researchers call it something totally new.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

The “America First” crowd was right about foreigners taking american jobs, at least as far as the job of “right wing propagandist” is concerned. If I were conservative I might do a little soul searching about being so easily manipulated but I’m sure we’ll find out why it’s really the left’s fault

something i'll note is that if nuzzi ran catch-and-kill ops for rfk jr and lizza knew this prior to him being appointed as HHS, and instead of telling anyone, he decided to save it for his substack long after rfk jr had made communicable disease into federal policy, that's completely fucked

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

The alleged leftists celebrating the news that outspoken Covid realists have died in the last few days are truly disgusting to me. These are not comrades. These ppl will kill us & laugh about it in the mentions afterwards. You cannot be aggressively anti-mask & also a leftist. You just can’t.
Gee I wonder who these ghouls are happy recently died so they couldn’t speak out against this open anti-science take.

These people are fundamentally no different than any right winger denying Covid or climate collapse using the “Reality is wrong because it means I am part of the problem” logic

All right, I’m going to make coffee, but I will leave you with this: one of the most radical acts of resistance both to fascism and to Covid right now is to wear a mask. Build communities around wearing masks, etc. Get vaccinated do what you can to protect yourselves and others in your life.
