that's nice to hear! I pictured this poor 20 years something asking themselves whether they can handle a Kafkaesque trial all by themselves, but good to know there is a structure in place that, at least in theory, would support them.

thanks, so much to learn about *my* new Country :-)

yeah, I figured that much. So this ad feels a little bit disingenuous coming from former military personnel and civil servants, who indeed know better. Had they gone beyond talk and, say, offered legal counseling to those who refuse orders, then it might have sounded more "I really mean it" to me.

what's JAG?

just to understand, because I am not familiar with the law. If a military refuses to carry out an order because they deem it unconstitutional or just against the law (any law), they are not just gonna get away with it. I suppose they will have to proove it in court, martial court, right?

do you mean fibrinogen?

Yeah, then I read the actual FDA announcement and figured that out. My initial reaction was because i had misread your caption (and somehow I thought the original indication was for ambulatory).
This whole FDA approval is murky anyway.

wait, i think i misunderstood your caption: is now indicated or not for non-ambulatory patients? I am confused. I thought before was indicated only for ambulatory patients...

but non-ambulatory patients have so little muscle left, why exposing these patients to the high risks of a therapy that even in principle is not going to deliver much benefit (TBH, the benefit is low even in younger patients with a bit more muscle).

I'm also an old fart with some experience in activism. And some ideas of my own.

So, apologies to all who felt hurt by my sarcasm. Next time I'll avoid satire.

(Though I really love the Quack satire of Stand Up For Science, hard to believe other SUFS fans don't get satire too!)

Peace y'all!

Maybe read my response before trashing me?

Thanks for the clarification.

And I understand the need to set a term to donations, I get it. But how are you planning to continue the fight without financial resources? Happy to chat offline.

Wow! Are you saying there should be a thing called feminism? Not a bad idea at all, how come no one had it before?!

are super-wealthy while traditional the fascists of the 20th century emerged from the working class. These guys are really a hybrid between 20th century fascist and old-fashioned totalitarian monarchs.

I know, I am not against food stamps, tell me about it, I grew up in a European country where social welfare, back then at least, was great. I am just noting how this current fascist admin is not even good at being fascist! I wonder if the difference stems from the fact that modern day fascists

this is actually weird. Things like food stamps have historically been a way for fascist governments to keep poor people bound to them and fully under their control (by literally controlling whether they'll be able to eat or not). So this is a new thing I can't quite wrap my head around.

This is one of those cases where I have no doubt it is "good riddance". The structure of DNA would have been discovered with or without him. So we didn't really need him for that. Nor did we need him for his absolutely, outrageously disgusting character. Hence, naturally, "good riddance".

Honestly, I had never figured what her deal was. I started following her back in Twitter times, but before I could figure out what she stood for, I was annoyed by her unnecessary bitchiness and defensiveness. So I stopped following her. Now it becomes all very clear 🤨🙄
