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.

The last 5 years have convinced me that aliens visiting Earth wouldn’t be a big news story 2 months later.

i had the best time making these silly little pelicans this weekend 🤩 i present: ✨The Pelifont✨

Ice has resurged this week in Minnesota. The news is getting fairly suppressed so any support out would be helpful to the fight.

Trump is and has always been a CON and a THIEF. He is and has always been ANTI-America and UN-American.

Apparently, this happens once the clematis petals fall off. #ClassicMono #Monochrome #Pareidolia #Photography #BloomScrolling #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing

Trump sued after ordering coal plant to stay open — that's now releasing mercury into air. #cdnpoli www.rawstory.com/trump-coal-2...

More irises are blooming!!

Fuckn do it already!

Ooooo.

The Internet is disappearing before our very eyes and it’s why we should all support that absolutely critical work of @archive.org

Thanks, everyone, for joining #NotAloneTalk tonight. I hope you all have a good evening and weekend.

Does anyone have any questions they'd like to ask or topics they'd like to discuss? #NotAloneTalk

Okay, here's a question for the hive mind (deliberate choice of words). What do you do when you have a large, stinging insect in the house? There is a wasp (or something similar) buzzing around my living room, and I'm freaking out just a bit. We have no spray (oops!) handy. #NotAloneTalk

What's a good thing that's happened to you today or recently? Can be very small or even a reduction of a bad thing. #NotAloneTalk

Hello and welcome to #NotAloneTalk, our daily 8pm(UK time) chat where everyone’s welcome. Tonight’s will be for about forty minutes. To join in: - Search the # or watch my profile (refresh regularly) to find questions - Reply to me/each other - Remember the # in replies How are you all?

Imposing real, criminal consequences for the Hegseth/Miller/Trump drug boat murders must be a top priority for the next administration. It would be a catastrophic moral failing to let them go unanswered.

Is Vance taking questions on his fraud tour? Are journalists asking questions? How can Just Dance Vance lecture states about fraud with Eric grifting in China? Sean Duffy taped a reality show paid for by whom??? Dr. Oz, Ka$h Patel, etc. doing corruption so quickly no one can keep up.

Nebraska - you have 3 great candidates for Public Service Commission - statewide office that sets utility rates. GA and AZ flipped the commissions in their state. You can be next! @indivisibleneb.bsky.social

Perfect metaphor. Twitter has fully morphed into a Habermosh-pit at a neo-Nazi skinhead concert. Niche platforms like Bluesky will never match the reach of Twitter or Facebook at their peak, but that doesn't mean it can't be a pleasant place to hang out, talk about cool shit, and learn new things.

"Well, that was rather awkward." - Me, after approximately 93% of my social interactions.

The largest ever settlement or jury award for government violations of constitutional rights to a single person is $100 million, or 1 percent of what Trump demanding for the leak of his tax returns. That case -- a killing by police -- was reduced to $1 million on appeal.

Enough about you what do you think of my ballroom?

You left out that crime inside the White House has risen 100%.

I've removed the paywall permanently from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you won't... www.tom-cox.com/the-village-...

Also, Uber, Lyft, and a lot of other services were being subsidized by venture capital at the time, so they were artificially cheap. Some of what people perceive now as inflation is actually just them paying the true cost of the services they're using.

Mumbling to self: "When in doubt, don't make the snarky comment. When in doubt, don't make the..." Going to have to take a break here, before the people who just HAVE to introduce their favorite gripe into every conversation make my head explode.

You need to tell 3 friends to tell 3 of their friends to register and vote in the primary on May 19th Every vote counts. This particular primary this year in Idaho will decide who wins the General Election this fall Or else -- youtu.be/LQj--Kjn0z8?...

Time to say goodnight.

The foundation of our democracy is burning to the ground. It did not begin with Trump, but he stoked the flames. The conservative Roberts Court did not light the match, but it has repeatedly declared fire hydrants, sprinklers and smoke detectors illegal. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

4. Insurance meltdowns happen “gradually, then all at once.” When “all at once” hits (and it will), Democrats will want to have built a sturdy foundation of honesty and credibility to contrast with Republican and fossil-fuel lies.

This 1952 memo from the Pentagon UFO files is superb There is no point preparing for aliens ‘because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.’ 🤣 www.war.gov/medialink/uf...

STEM has many uses but a sound classical education will remind you we've been dealing with love and duty and sorrow for a long, long time.

The point being, the search for "just the right candidate" is a lot of energy for the wrong objective. Find a sufficient candidate, and create the conditions (in politics, public will supporting a specific platform) for succes.

Gonna get going while I have a brief burst of energy here. Thanks for hosting the chat, Rob. #NotAloneTalk Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Let's hear it for Dana!

As with everything else, this administration prioritizes money making, resource destroying use of this land (in this case, allowing livestock meant for sale to graze there instead of bison meant to increase biodiversity and restore Prairie)

In my state, the Democratic AG candidate is hammering on the t2.0 administration & the cost of living. The Republican candidate is assuring us that our kids will be safe from transgender kids playing sports. (1.6% of the population age 13-17 & not all, if any play sports) 🙄 Waiting 🌊

We want to take the ‘May’ out of No-Mow May. May has just begun, but letting the grass grow is something you can do throughout the year to create a wildlife friendly garden. Mowing the lawn only once every four weeks boosts nectar production tenfold 🦋

If nothing else, Trump has helped us pinpoint the weaknesses in our system. He's made painfully apparent which things need codification (bc, alas, not all aspirants to the ofc are principled [or even interested in serving the US's interests]), which constitutional amendments are worth pursuing, etc
