Don't believe for a second that we're killing people on tiny boats to prevent drugs from reaching the US
Reporter: You have made so clear how you want to keep drugs out of the US—
Trump: Right
Reporter: Can you explain why you would pardon a notorious drug trafficker?
Trump: If somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president

"The Stones of Stenness are part of one of Europe’s richest archeological landscapes—the legacy of a Neolithic society that flourished between 3800 and 2200 B.C., after the introduction of agriculture but before the advent of metal tools."
Megalithic monuments in the Orkney Islands “may not have been intended to last millennia, but, now that they have, they are stone doors through which the living try to touch the dead,” Alex Ross writes. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/TFPGiZ
In Northern Scotland, the Neolithic Age Never Ended
Megalithic monuments in the otherworldly Orkney Islands remain a fundamental part of the landscape.

The fascists won temporarily, but fascism is for losers. They'll fail. They are con men and swindlers. And when they do lose, we make a real democracy. The kind they hate. Their "creative destruction" will be democracy rising.

Why not listen to our recent 2-hour episode about how to invent a vaccine, why it took 90 years after Jenner's discovery to make the 2nd vaccine, and how we owe the measles vaccine to a chance career change.
Plus: scientific rivalries, live demos, and secret notebooks.

Imagine you lived in the 18th century.
Smallpox kills 1 in 3 cases. Yet you can’t culture pathogens, don’t know germ theory, and have no idea what a virus is. How would you invent a vaccine?
