This beautiful nerd has finally mastered her potty training and is ready to find her forever home. Scarlett is nearly a year old, about 18 lbs and good with other dogs and with cats. She's gentle and food motivated. New folks make her nervous, but gets used to them quickly. She's a master snuggler.

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.🧪

This is how predators work. In the initial emails, he thinks he can still fuck her, and describes her willingness as:
* listened to the comments of a LEADING ECONOMIST IN THE FIELD about her presentation
* didn't object when he commented on her outfit
* let him whine about his marriage.

The sense I am getting through all of this is that Larry Summers used his position to get a substantially junior colleague to listen to him whine about his marriage, then tried to get her to “have a drink with him” and stormed off when she was like no thanks I have a presentation tomorrow.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

It's uncomfortable for a lot of kidlit creators to contend with, but if you leave porn without defense, the censors are comin for you next THEY ALWAYS DO

There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are
In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

My friend Kara, the one currently incarcerated at Carswell, has had her hormones cut yet again.
They haven't done labs or anything on her in weeks.
They've now reduced her to 3 mg a week for her HRT.
We are still desperately searching for legal counsel who will advocate for her. Please help.

The FTC has lost 30% of the economics staff who support antitrust investigations and litigation. (This doesn't seem to have been covered anywhere outside of small paywalled outlets — in contrast to the intense personnel management scrutiny that Lina Khan got.)
