As a nurse I take this shit personally.

Throughout history there are huge leaps forward in our ability to reduce mortality & morbidity. Running water & sanitation. Transplants. Antibiotics. Reliable life support systems.

Vaccination is arguably the highest reward for lowest cost of ALL OF THEM.
Vaccines are truly one of the most incredible things in all of human history. We founds ways to literally defeat communicable deadly diseases at almost no cost and at no harm to ourselves.

And someone who had literal brain worms is working to undermine that and get people killed.

This flew under the radar, but it shouldn’t have.

When senator Alex Padilla was tackled by DHS, Kristi Noem’s side piece, Corey Lewandowski, was orchestrating the situation in the hall.

They WANT to destroy vaccines, and the vaccine industry. That's the goal.
FDA's decision not to accept Moderna's flu vaccine filing has sent shock waves through pharma. "When there’s uncertainty about the path to approval & the reliability of the process, that really has pretty serious consequences,” one player told @jasonmast.bsky.social. www.statnews.com/2026/02/12/f...
FDA’s rejection of Moderna threatens to stifle broader vaccine industry
Experts say the FDA "moved the goalposts" on Moderna, creating "a destructive precedent that will undermine the future of vaccine development" in the U.S.

Many diseases, even airborne ones, will fall out of the air in a relatively short period of time. Measles goes for the gold standard, and can remain infectious in the air for HOURS. When there was a case at Disneyland several years ago, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride became a virus hotbox.

Measles is one of those nightmare diseases that, if it hadn't been killing people for hundreds of years, people would ABSOLUTELY be pushing conspiracy theories about right now. It's too nasty in too many different directions to seem natural. But oh, boy, it sure is.

Very sad news. Gail Martin (1944-2026) was a figure in developmental biology. She pioneered the field of ES cells.

Jeremy Carl has rightly gotten a lot of attention this week as an assistant SOS nominee who built a career as an outspoken racist & xenophobe.

In addition to being unfit for the job and utterly reprehensible, he's also A Guy In Montana and Montanans are NOT HAVING IT. www.reddit.com/r/Bozeman/co...

What’s so weird about men in power is how when they face scandal and should step down the world acts like no one else can do their jobs. Bottstein, Wasserman, these aren’t irreplaceable men! Stop with this delusion.

"The king's bad advisors are to blame, never the king" is an excuse that's been in common use for over a thousand years and yet lickspittles never tire of using it.
Tillis: "I think the president has some advisers around him -- you've heard me talk about Stephen Miller, you know my opinion about Kristi Noem -- these are people that don't look around corners and are not taking care of this president's legacy. And I intend to."

This whole subreddit is disturbing and brings me back to saying confirming that we need WAY more regs on AI. Angry these AI companies allow this. 😡

Another one now is urging people to get vaccinated, as measles cases rise in SC. First it was Dr. Oz. As unvaccinated children attend school, outbreaks will increase. 950 reported cases in SC. Again, preventable. Thinking about how many encephalitis cases will be reported.

It's unchartered, but we can see the terrain: the territory ahead includes masked secret police taking people to concentration camps but not new vaccines. That's our reward for a system in which fewer than 20 people, all of them deranged and malicious, control over $3 trillion.
The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering

The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

Fiction moves people more than facts; if it gets parents to vaccinate their kids against measles then it works. THIS is fact, and it is just as devastating

American culture of the 1840’s would have been *very fucking surprised* to see the Irish considered as co-founders.

Elon’s an ahistorical dipshit, but its always worth saying some stuff out loud: if you‘re a fellow Irish-American and you aren’t 100% pro-immigrant, you’re a fucking embarassment.
1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

There was a long period in my life where I could tell you to the penny how much a slice of ham or a single grape cost. I still start grocery trips at the discount meat bin, and my meals are built around what the discount meat supports.
Lmaoooo first off untrue

Second of all everyone i know who doesn’t budget for food does so bc they have so little money they are scrambling regardless
