Just to make it very clear where I stand—I am a huge fan of vaccination, it has saved literally millions of lives and is a force for great good in this world
I’m currently in a vaccine trial and volunteer with vaccine involvement work (ask me about involvement!)

With all the shady evidence coming out (with more to follow), MAGA is pivoting from “It's a hoax! Donald Trump had no relationship with Jeffrey Epstein!” to “Yeah, what’s the big deal about trafficking 15-year-olds anyway?”

Sixty-five years ago today, four first-graders desegregated New Orleans's public schools: Ruby Bridges at William Frantz Elementary School, and Leona Tate, Tessie Provost, and Gail Etienne at McDonogh 19 Elementary School. They faced violent mobs and threats to their lives. They were 6 years old. 🗃

Just write out "fucked", for goodness sake.
The problem after 14 years of damage wreaked by the Tories is that we now have a f***ed up BBC and a f***ed up NHS.
But, remember, the f***ing up has come from outside. It is not intrinsic
We desperately need a properly functioning BBC and properly functioning NHS
DEFEND THEM!

I do love xkcd but this cartoon seems to overlook measuring spoons and ALSO my actual spoon collection which is extremely varied
![The xkcd cartoon: transcript from explain xkcd
[Close up shot of Cueball's head and neck. Cueball is facing the left and has his arm raised.]
Cueball: Some people like to be the big spoon.
[Cueball's face and neck are still the only elements visible. Cueball is facing the right now and has lowered his hand.]
Cueball: Some people like to be the little spoon.
[A big spoon sitting atop a little spoon and a little spoon sitting atop a big spoon are depicted.]
And some brave truth-tellers point out that the metaphor makes no sense because different-sized spoons don't nest right either way. You nest same-sized spoons.
[Cueball is lying alone on a couch.]
Cueball: ...and apparently we sleep on the couch.
[Voice from outside the panel:]
Voice: Why are you still going on about the spoon thing?
Cueball: Because I'm right!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dcug5hr3622ym4zaueassqao/bafkreiakihs6bjdlo62ouuojg5oxuu7dfr5nuxhjj4hv5qqllfntfy6zqe@jpeg)

For reasons I ended up explaining to my 18 year old how we used to make beds when I was a child in the 1970s
With sheets and blankets and a counterpane over the top…
They looked at me as if I was making it up
“But weren’t you like, pinned to the bed?”
“Didn’t it take ages to make every day?”

Animal origins shift to comb jellies

Hitler's health and sexual behaviour have been pored over (with varying degrees of scholarship for a century). This new genetic evidence is (I think) noteworthy.
