That's my general problem with meal prep frugalism like this: the assumption that time is zero-cost. Even if you value yourself at minimum wage (let alone something actually livable), at some point the time spent making something from scratch costs more than buying it off the shelf.
YouTube chefs love to be like don’t use that DISGUSTING store-bought chicken stock simply take two of your nearest chicken carcasses and a pound of fresh herbs and devote 2 entire days to making your own, it couldn’t be easier you LAZY ASSHOLE

I'm pretty sure a vaccine against cancer mutating and causing shenanigans to ensue was the premise for “I Am Legend”.
The good news is that I don't think Will Smith is developing these vaccines, so I think everything will turn out fine.

A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them.

One of the few things Mormonism gets right IMO (though I think they've recently started to backpedal on this in order to position themselves as more “mainstream”) is the avoidance of the cross as a symbol of Jesus.
When I see "Christians" with these abominations of jeweled crucifixes, I remind myself of the original meaning. It was an execution device used by imperial Rome.
I wonder, sometimes, if that's the actual message here: the empire has the power to kill you. What a thing to accessorize.

Hell yeah. I'd love to see this someday.
At long last, vindication has arrived for an Oscar-winning composer who sought to prove he was as capable of breathing life into Italy’s grand theaters as into gritty Hollywood films.

People catastrophizing about a precedent where no one can mark anything down anymore for being wrong when the real precedent is trans people not being able to do literally any job without an army of bigots launching a harassment campaign against their employer.
a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit
