When a whale dies on a beach they should load it up with cameras and sensors, drag it out to the deep sea, and let it sink.
Then you could observe the whole long process of whalefall in real time at high detail.

Yup. A reminder here that physical therapists just lost their ‘professional’ status so no student loans and fewer therapists for our future.
My doctor: "congrats on your broken foot bone healing so well! You still must be careful with it! Here is a referral to physical therapy to help you with that!"
Physical therapy: sounds great! earliest we got is 48 days from now!
Great system we got here, the greatest, none better.

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

I monitored these same sorts of white supremacists for years (to fight them), and let me tell you.
You have to CONSTANTLY, aggressively deprogram yourself.
Even just, the language. We are social creatures and we absorb the language we're around. Guess what words enter your mental vocabulary

This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).
It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.
