btw does this number come from a study or something? i've seen a bunch of people saying that lately but not sure if it's literal or basically "40 days and 40 nights"
Science takes ~17 years to reach clinical practice. The science in 2026 is clear: we don’t have another decade to wait on SARS-CoV-2. If you’re doing what you can to avoid (re)infection, your behaviour is 100% aligned with best current available evidence.

what in the gender reveal nonsense is this
A woman rushed to rescue a little boy right before hundreds of Easter eggs came crashing down at a church egg-gathering event in Tallahassee, Florida.

“After the pandemic” is exactly why nobody is rioting
The problem is that we didn’t riot when the rent was going up after the pandemic. Ppl just went and got 2-3 jobs to afford it..

wym no one explains this? there's a bunch of different ways to do it. UBI or wage increases or other supportive services or all of the above. it's weird to imply that this desire is a middle class psyop or something

Reminder this a the norm (more animals tho) when Natives were in charge. So miss me with that "all humans" or "the human species" bs
The best memory of 2020 was how animals returned to the streets while humans were in quarantine

this is a known thing in puzzle games. if you include a hint button that's always visible, people will hold out for a while but then once they break the dam, they use it more and more, and tolerance for not immediately getting the answer goes down
🚨📄 New preprint! We find the “boiling the frog” equivalent of AI use. In a series of RCTs, we show that after just 10 min of AI assistance people perform worse and give up more often than those who never used AI. w Grace Liu @brianchristian Mira Dumbalska and Rachit Dubey 🧵

to get around this some move the hint button out of the main screen. some make the hints cleverly vague, just a nudge so that you still do the figuring out. some put a timer on it, so that those with less impulse control don't just spam it and have no fun. some remove it entirely

but the difference here is that a puzzle game is not real life, and also, your hints are probably at least correct

selfhood is all about membranes. it's all about becoming a temporary bag. only thing separating "me" from everything else is a bunch of lipid bilayers. when we die, the contents of that bag get redistributed to the universal commons. we offer up our loot. and that's beautiful.

Because the worse Trump is, the better they think they can do in the polls without having to actually listen to their constituents and advocate for more progressive policies.

I can’t understand why every single democrat isn’t calling for the 25th amendment

Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.
The world not screeching to a halt when the US killed more than 100 little school girls on the very first day of this "liberating war" led us exactly to this moment

Funny that the argument was, "Democrats are not coming to save us - in fact - they are participants in these atrocities and voting won't stop fascism" and all liberals took from it was another excuse to do nothing.
if you didn’t vote for the democrats in the last election because “both sides were the same”, why are you now on twitter wailing for the democrats to save you from the current administration lol

Wow. I suspect this would have been far more diagnostic than pupillary reflex after my concussions. I currently “fail” all three.
An estimated 1.1 million to 1.9 million #pediatric concussions occur annually in the US. 📊 This JAMA Rational Clinical Examination reviews the diagnostic accuracy of symptoms and signs observed in the initial evaluation of a child or adolescent who may have had a #concussion. ja.ma/3OlphH8

The "civilization" you lose may be your own.
Trump: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.”
