Fun fact: the US has been at continual war since 1945 and *not a single one of these wars*, from the Korean War to Vietnam to Iraq to Iraq again, was ever declared war by Congress. The last time the US Congress declared war was 1942. 83 years ago.

OMG 😭 Huntington's is an inherited disease that's like Alzheimers + Parkinson's all in one. NOW: "once the gene therapy has been delivered into the brain... [it] injects a piece of DNA to reprogram the neuron to become a factory for its own cure." LIFE SAVING!

Many folks argue that the first two impeachments didn’t constraint Trump so why try again, but if the rule of law is to have any meaning, then Democrats must insist on at least trying to hold Trump accountable for asserting dictatorial powers to kidnap, invade, loot, and murder.

You don't have to listen to these professional liars who are barely trying. 9 months ago they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty

guys, "the judges at the ICC are being sanctioned by the USA and can't access their iphones or bank accounts" and "why aren't any countries banning twitter or prosecuting elon musk for owning a site that manufactures CSAM" stories are the same story

there are endless headlines about "grok apologizes" or "grok says it will be fixed" after it generated CSAM using pictures of minors and zero headlines about "grok being shut down" or "musk and xAI in big legal trouble" and I think something fundamental has broken here

this is a fascinating statistic. i would assume this is to a great degree simply the obvious fact that green energy is by definition a growth sector. fossil fuels is not, notwithstanding the big run up in production in FF in the last 20 years.

Look at him. He never has to worry about his 401k. He never has to file taxes. He lives a life of petty crime (biting ankles) and hard naps.

The tale of a thief on a quest to find a missing queen. Along the way are kraken, goblins, giants, and an assassin hiding inside a cat. He might just take down the thieves guild too. An enjoyable read

Please take some time and watch these deep dives. The amount of money made off merch alone is staggering. And with no transparency of where its going. Aden takes the time to show the math. They do not sell anything at cost as claimed

Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience. Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense. They admitted it.

Australian researchers have made a trial COVID vaccine that stops COVID infection and transmission, rather than just reduce the damage done by an infection:
