We should grant power over our affairs only to those who are reluctant to hold it & then only under conditions that increase the reluctance

Published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Peer-reviewed. Large sample size. Sound methodology. An antiviral pill has, for the first time, been shown to prevent COVID-19 in individuals exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Ensitrelvir blocks the enzyme coronaviruses need to make new copies of themselves.

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts will be leaving Netflix on June 26, which is a real shame. If you haven’t seen this show yet, I recommend you check it out! It does have a physical release for those who want to make sure they have it available.

Hiiiii

my problem is that I have a level of arts and crafts audacity that is really only comparable to a housecat who is willing to face off with a tiger

An alternate version of my animatic for The Owl House main titles. @danaterrace.bsky.social approved this, but it was rejected because they thought the POV change was confusing.

I listened to Kelly's conversation with Rebecca Solnit and I recommend it. I was particularly struck with what Solnit says here: truthout.org/audio/hope-i...

Book It! is back! If you have K-6 kids in the US your kids can read their way to personal pan pizzas this summer, like we did when we were kids. people.com/pizza-huts-b...

So I was looking online for miniature diorama kits to build and learned that Etsy has an impressive selection of items to go in doll houses, for example this little tiny dime bag of weed.

@deyathemuniz.bsky.social @emilyerdosart.bsky.social This is at least partially y'all's fault. (Thank you <3 )(My coach refuses to teach me takedowns, please advise)

I posted about spacecraft knots in 2012! Well, I edited a post by knot tyer David Fred: www.planetary.org/articles/201...

Some people have misunderstood this. We literally saw how Claude itself, coded by Claude, turns one API call into a DOS of thousands upon thousands of API calls done in the sloppiest fucking way possible. This postmortem shows Bluesky vibecoded a function to DOS itself, in a similarly stupid way.

One of the great myths of the internet is that everything is on the internet. We all have consistently had the experience that if you search for something, no matter how obscure, you'll find it, usually pretty quickly. However.

Are you a fan of the band BTS? You may have seen a teaser video last month for the band's new album, "Arirang," which shares its name with a beloved Korean folk song. The video alluded to the first recording ever made of that song, a nearly 130-year-old wax cylinder preserved here at the Library. 🧵

Y’ALL! This likely won’t last long but we had to memorialize the moment we took the #1 spot from an anti-abortion organization! Donate: www.midlandsgives.org/organization...

OKAY. I have my links all set now. I made a shank from Destiny 2, and you can make him too! Website: semsational.gg/a-shank-from... Ko-fi (free pdf): ko-fi.com/s/4d4f7b5eea Youtube short: youtube.com/shorts/s0JaR... Instagram Reel: www.instagram.com/reel/DWoMymA... #destiny2 #destiny2art #crochet

the just-released proposed White House budget for 2027 aims to cut $5.6 billion (about a quarter) from NASA, just as we’re getting livestreams from space of sweaty stripped-down astronauts. this is the Star Trek future I was shown as a child and I will fight for it 🇺🇸🫡

The children deserve a quality adaptation of one of the strongest anti-war YA series of our time!!!!

There are furry artists that are so skilled and talented that I’ll be like, “Wow, what a masterful command of form, texture, space, color, and light,” completely forgetting that I am, in fact, probably looking at the horniest thing anyone has ever seen in the history of mankind

Hello it's me again 👋 I am once again bringing you a gift I have designed a free Fallen shank #crochet pattern from #Destiny2! It's currently available for download, and will have a post on my site tomorrow. I hope you like it 🥰 #destiny2art

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

"Shrouds have no pockets," holy fuck, I didn't know he was metal like that

An excerpt of an interview with art historian and critic David Sylvester which i think feels relevant to the environment artists find themselves in the digital/social media/algorithmic content age

you know if you block this account we will for sure have another bsky dev crashout on main. YOU can make that happen! look im a petty bitch and if you're caught up on their deal its clear they despise me and my ilk, and if I can't convince them they should listen to their userbase i can enjoy this

Look body, I get it, I slept wrong. Which, if we're honest, is basically your fault anyway. Is there some reason I have to be sore for the *entire* day because of it? I just feel like you're overreacting here. I've been using my shoulders this whole time, they're *fine*, I promise.

Ok, lil heads up here for Telegram users: Sounds like a 9.8 CVSS vulnerability in Telegram that may allows for zero-click remote code execution was discovered yesterday. Very little info, but until we know more, disable automatic downloads on all your devices with TG installed.

I've been sick this week so I keep forgetting to boost this: Platform Decay, the next Murderbot book, is part of the Preorder 25% off sale at Barnes and Noble: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/platform-d... So is the trade paperback of Queen Demon

Everything bagel? No everything not bagel. In fact most things not bagel.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

This is a WIN for science. RFK Jr’s overhaul of vaccine recommendations has been BLOCKED by a federal court. The ACIP committee cannot meet as planned this week, since its membership has been invalidated, and ALL votes made by those advisers in the last year have also been invalidated.

I would win

This. Ideally everyone would have continued to mask since 2020. But the second best time is right now. If you don’t mask everywhere, at least do it again for higher-risk situations (i.e. traveling, conventions, doctor appts).

thinking again about the greatest scene in cinema history

With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man. I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.

So Dunkin Donut's latest gimmick is a banana-flavored foam coffee topping. My first thought on learning this: "Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring, banana foooooam!" My second thought: "I can't say that out loud, I'm the only one here that would get it."

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking. I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

Today I read about a famous gay couple who ran an inn on the foothill path towards Yosemite for 50 years. They met as young men on a ship to SF during the Gold Rush and were inseparable. People knew them as a couple. glreview.org/article/absc...

And I would recommend everyone who can donate to MSF (Doctors Without Borders), one of few international medical orgs in Iran: doctorswithoutborders.org The ICRC also works with Iran's Red Crescent and has been operating there since 1977: icrc.org

i got so many things on the back burner. everything in my life is on the back burner. anytime i got a new thing coming up it immediately gets put on the back burner. i am yet to take a single thing off of the back burner. i have got a lot of things on the back burner

Being a Republican in 2026 is sufficient grounds to be banned from furry chats and events and I’m tired of pretending otherwise.

i included this in my syllabi this year

(...Seriously, hard to imagine a better comment than this: "I thought this was a real winter Olympics post. I thought 'oh I only watched the women's crosscountry this year, I would have watched the men's too if I knew one of them was coming out as a furry' -_-"
