Maybe everyone can see it now, but the world's richest people have tanked it all to restock assets and get liquid after years of illegally playing with funny money. They used "the wokeness" as a cudgel and it worked. The next Disney princess WILL be white, as we all eat beans under the highway.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at McMaster University have discovered a NEW peptide antibiotic that targets a broad range of disease-causing bacteria INCLUDING those RESISTANT to existing antibiotics. This discovery marks the first potential new class of antibiotics in NEARLY 30 YEARS. 🧪🧵⬇️

Do you know what it costs a bank when an account is overdrawn?

Less than $5.

That's why the Biden admin capped overdraft fees at $5.

Trump et al. just raised the limit to $35, meaning banks PROFIT $30 off of you when you have no money.

It's a poor tax & it's immoral.

That Louisiana ICE Detention Center could now form a pretty credible US university, given all of the scholars that have been sent there.

Popular podcasters are normalizing antisemitism, giving far-right influencers massive platforms to spread hate unchecked. From Joe Rogan to Theo Von, what was once fringe is now normalized in mainstream conversations, setting the way for further radicalization and violence.

Podcasters Platforming Antisemitism
Over the past few weeks, millions of people were exposed to a series of podcasts platforming some of the internet’s most antisemitic, transphobic, and racist influencers on YouTube and Spotify.

EVs resolve one issue of automobile dependence: tailpipe emissions. They are as bad as ICE vehicles on noise (over 20 MPH), space, and embedded carbon and significantly worse on tire particulates, road wear and lethal crash force (20-25% heavier, faster acceleration).

Cars don’t solve car problems.
New paper compares non-exhaust pollution (brake and tire particulates) from ICE and EV cars.

Conclusion: EV's create more tire pollution b/c they're heavier, but less brake pollution due to regenerative braking.

EVs come out ahead overall if >15% of driving is in a city.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
