We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic.

Most red states in the South are states with majority black populations. I reject the idea that blue states should punish (or mock) the people living in red states to prove a political point, as if it would even be feasible.
This kind of rhetoric solidifies the idea that liberals are out of touch.

The #PEPFAR tracker is following the real time impact of each passing day of the funding suspensions spurred by the USAID funding freeze. Although there is a waiver to allow dispersion of ART, this is not happening because clinic workers have been laid off. People are dying.

My goal this year is to learn to bake a different thing each month. January was cookies, where I made potato chip cookies from a tiktoker's recipe. February's is my grandmother's recipe for sour cream coffee cake. I never knew her, but we're now three generations deep on this one coffee cake.

RFK Jr says he wants to tackle chronic disease. His war on the HPV vaccine shows otherwise.
RFK Jr. profits by scaring people from a proven cancer prevention: that’s the opposite of combating chronic disease.

You say: they shutdown USAID.
You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.
