Researchers found that while human fevers (40-42C) are effective against human-adapted flu viruses, the higher baseline body temperature of birds means that avian-adapted flu viruses aren’t really threatened.
More interestingly, it’s just a small handful of residues in the PB1 subunit that change.🧪

Lol. Lmao even.
Democrats disproportionately rely on corporations to do their messaging. In this case, energy companies. In many other cases, corporate media. It’s delusional.

Highlight of my day: Steve Novella from my fave podcast @theskepticsguide.bsky.social saw right through this immediately. The issue here is definitional and you can almost claim any object is tool use with the current definitions - which is why ”tooling“ is a better framework to study the phenomenon
This is super cool object-related problem solving, but it is not actually tool use, the meaning of which I covered extensively IN THE PHD THESIS I JUST HANDED IN 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

If you are interested in a primary source for the beginning of next semester, may I recommend the earliest recorded indigenous description of Appalachia, translated by yours truly?

Stubby season is here in the Pacific Northwest and this chonker is showing some big feelings about being photographed by turning white and burying itself in the sand!
This color change is super hard to photograph, let alone light, but I'm pretty happy with how these turned out.

Re-upping this in the wake of ICE/CBP's recent defeats in North Carolina.
To review:
* The fash are weak on admin from gutting the state bureaucracy.
* The fash are weak in otg numbers. Controlling even one part of any major city is a real challenge, especially with any resistance.
* The fash are weak on legitimacy. They are increasingly, widely hated.
So what's left?

The important context left out of most western reporting on the region is that in Israel, "terrorist" is a racial slur
60%+ of Israelis surveyed don't thing the abuses of Palestinian prisoners should be investigated.
84% say the IDF should get an excellent or very good grade for *moral conduct*.
62.5% say a 'terrorist' should be murdered even if they don't pose a threat.
