Tetanus is returning. In the 1930s, Tetanus was widespread in the US. The development & deployment of vaccines reduced annual cases from ~ 600 in the 1940s to 17 in 2020. Mortality dropped 99%. There is no cure for tetanus. We have forgotten how life was before vaccines. 🧪 archive.today/c6QVx

Now that the MSM flood is also starting, there’s no way they’re going to be able to keep this hidden until August. The rumor mill has been going crazy today. Nothing confirmed yet, but it definitely doesn’t sound good.

The order directs the DOJ to release names of email senders and recipients who wrote emails commenting on women.

They’re all grifters. Their fake performative patriotism is just an opportunity to make some bucks.

Seems clear what they're up to.

There is some prime MAGA idiocy going on over Mayor Mamdani enlisting New Yorkers in an attempt to keep the power grid from failing in a heat wave.

We don’t have a government. We have a crime family posing as one.

This just in. I've deleted 126 of 169 occurrences of the word "just" from my current (almost complete) manuscript, with the help of Debbie Mandel's eagle editing eye. Just sayin'.

What the F is wrong with this guy?

Germany has successfully engineered a revolutionary transparent solar glass that generates clean electricity while remaining completely see-through from both sides, fundamentally transforming how buildings produce energy. #solarpower #ActOnClimate

Ridley Scott & Douglas Trumbull didn’t build a futuristic and sprawling Los Angeles miniature with thousands of tiny lit windows for Blade Runner back in 1982, just so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable.”

Of course, if it didn't happen to Trump, the injuries are minor.

Some hard truths for Democrats . . . Or is it really easy? FIGHT! Stand up for what you believe!

lollllll -- Ossoff proposes a motion that would ban senators from trading stocks and crypto, prompting Sen. Lummis (who loves crypto) to immediately object

True, sadly.

Feed your head, baby.

FACT: DOGE failed to reduce the federal deficit. The deficit under Trump has remained near its highest level in American history outside of COVID: almost $2 trillion.

The reason Obama used water from the river for the reflecting pool and not city water is because city water is treated with orthophosphates, which is food for algae, causing massive blooms that produce cyanotoxins that kill wildlife.

I'm at 86,000 words in my current manuscript, racing downhill to the finish line and hoping not to crash before I get there.
