Ok, pass then

some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing

Stephen Colbert responds to CBS disputing his claims that he was barred from airing the James Talarico interview: "And for the lawyers to release this without even talking to me is really surprising. I don’t even know what to do with this crap. Hold on." He then picks it up with a dog poop bag.

These tech goons don’t just want our lives, they want our deaths. They want the grief of our loved ones.

BRIAN TYLER COHEN: Last question -- is Tupac alive? OBAMA: He's alive on my playlist

Proposing marriage to an Olympic competitor during the Games is self-centered bullshit

Trump, RFK, MAGA plan to tackle the next pandemic What did I miss?

if you're a republican, this is, like, *the* type of guy you absolutely cannot lose like this

all of this has happened before

Yeah, hi, I’m a person with “mobility challenges” (excuse me while I hurl). What we want, by and large, are not expensive, heavy devices that will “help us walk again”, but ramps. I know, it’s not sexy, as technology invented before Christ, but it is overlooked in favor of…this. Repeatedly.

Moderna is at least the ninth company to have received a surprise rejection from Vinay Prasad and his team.

Really cool Valentine’s Day piece from @brianwaves42.bsky.social, in which he pens a love letter to horror's fictional vision of Seattle:

i just wanna drive my truck mow this grass drink my beer dress like ass

given education polarization and MAGA's reliance on low propensity voters, something like the SAVE Act would almost certainly backfire on republicans (i'm reasonably sure senate republicans understand this too)

This is a breathtaking article about the complete clown show at DHS being overseen by Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski (gift link)

Forbes gets the picture…we are casting suspicion on proven medicines, adjuvants, and a Nobel winning technology so we can study horse dewormer for cancer. And the big leucovorin paper was just retracted, that gets 0 mentions. www.forbes.com/sites/joshua...

Every single day John Fetterman proves that he’s been nothing but a fascist loving fraudulent traitor from the beginning who quite literally lied to voters and betrayed everyone who defended him and stood with him against the scum he now simps for. What a disgrace.

"revokes scientific finding" just the least serious people to ever live

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

WSJ editorial board hits FDA: It’s hard to recall a regulator who has done as much damage to medical innovation in as little time as Vinay Prasad who rejected Moderna’s mRNA flu vaccine without even a cursory review. www.wsj.com/opinion/vina...

Mrs. Angry: I thought you were going to do the dishes Me: should we really be talking about this? THE DOW IS OVER 50,000

I'm a Gallup pollster. You can contact them at [email protected] to let them know what you think of this.

Love how colon cancer keeps killing people under 50 and yet insurance doesn't cover colonoscopy without cost-sharing until age 45. I just paid $1,584 out of pocket for mine thanks to my deductible and copays

All of the countries that signed the global health MOUs thinking they were giving up 25 years of samples and sovereignty for the mRNA vaccines of the future, watching the FDA decline an mRNA influenza vaccine like 🫩

Moderna are being very careful in their responses about next steps here but given the likely arbitrariness and unreasonableness of an outright refusal to file (let alone the economic impacts), I expect they will appeal, with a range of options available: trendspotting.sidley.com/trends/fda

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Holy shit—a terrible waste of $$ Bhattacharya is so kooky “If lots of people believe it & it’s moving public health, we as NIH have an obligation, again, to treat it seriously,” Bhattacharya said at a MAHA event Great reporting by @rachanadpradhan.bsky.social kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

RFK Jr. and Mike Tyson want you to believe that MAHA is just about eating healthier. But in reality, MAHA has been focused on firing the food and medical research experts who actually make America healthy.

🚨I hate having to write this. He was scheduled for surgery this morning, but our family vet found his red blood cell count had dropped. They told us if he bleeds during surgery there, he could die on the table because they don’t have blood products.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

“Renee Goodman [sic], Alex Pretti – there are no words,” DeLauro said. “You said there were no words after the murder of those two individuals,” said Rev. Jack Perkins Davidson. “I think the words are ‘Abolish ICE.’” www.ctpublic.org/news/2026-02...

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

go off jack white

UPDATE - I found 20 or close to HALF of the drugs up there have generic options available. There are 43 drugs up on the site. One of the 43 is no longer made by Pfizer.

Was this very mid-2000s emo person press-ganged into ICE servitude?

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic

Final Schedule F rule published: in defiance of the vast majority of public comments, it commits to further politicizing government, removing anyone the Trump administration dislikes. public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-02375.pdf

Some people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]

I often think of Cleopatra’s daughter who was paraded through Rome after her mother and father’s defeat but apparently delivered such a charismatic performance in the parade that the people demanded that she be spared. the highest-stakes standup routine in history perhaps

The White House has to approve all voucher recipients, and Trump officials have used the promise of speedier reviews to reward companies that help them advance political priorities. The episode involving Compass underscores the ways in which political pressure has shaped the voucher program.

they made the entire administration out of the worst person you have ever known in every situation, vance is the worst person you ever met in college

can’t not hear and see:

Most of the Washington Post’s tech reporters were laid off today, including me. I have loved my time at the paper, which is where I wanted to work from age 15. I take some consolation in not being among the survivors who will have to work harder with less for fewer readers. On to better things.
