In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

Costco and Trader Joes are yin and yang. Together they form a harmonious balance. One sells big piles of normal food, the other sells small piles of weird food. These are the two food piles people need

Senate Republicans just launched an all-night voting spree to rip apart Medicaid and starve kids—all so they can hand more cash to billionaires like Elon Musk. They’re doing this while most people aren’t watching. Absolutely disgraceful.

Scam. C'mon Timberwolves org. You've been duped by woo woo.

Flu vaccines prevent: 7.5 million illnesses 2-6 million medical visits 40,000 - 120,000 hospitalizations 3,000 - 12,000 deaths EVERY YEAR in the US alone. That’s pretty incredible with flu vaccine rates not exceeding 40-50% of eligible people. 1/

An adult produces 1.5 ounces of formaldehyde daily as part of metabolism (42,520,000 micrograms, in case you’re wondering). Formaldehyde, if used, MIGHT be present at less <50 µg per dose as a residual. An adult produces 850,000-times more formaldehyde daily than what might be in a vaccine. 1/

They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.

the “make america healthy again” agenda appears to be an elaborate op conjured up by sentient strains of listeria and salmonella www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

In the world of privacy coverage, there has always been a central question of who is a greater threat to it: the government or corporate America. Now with DOGE, the two are merged into one: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/u...

All we’re asking is that you treat the Republicans at least as harshly as a staffer who got a coffee order wrong.

This guy just voted to confirm an anti-vaxxer responsible for a measles outbreak in Samoa as HHS Secretary. These people are Fu*king shameless

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

Who’s left in the offices at Tesla & SpaceX?

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

1. There is no such thing as alternative medicine. If it is effective, it is medicine. If not, or not tested according to scientifically accepted standards, it is not medicine. 2. This mother is guilty of child neglect IMHO. Thomas Cooper was receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy for ADHD and sleep

NBC News: An aide close to President Zelenskyy says that, as of Saturday evening, Ukraine has *still* not been invited to the peace talks between the U.S. and Russia in Saudi Arabia.

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?

Where you at Dems ? You fighting to get them far better severance or going to ignore them, and all others in similar circumstances?

Follow the money. The systematic dismantling and constraint of our federal health agencies, DHS, NIH, CDC, FDA, etc. is all about muddying the waters so the grifters can grift and sell their magic potions.

The best thing about this fucking MAHA announcement is that literally every fucking thing in it that they are going after WE KNOW THE FUCKING CAUSES OF. We know why asthma is up. We know why diabetes is up. We know why people have toxins in their bodies. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

JUST IN: Federal judges orders HHS, CDC, and FDA to restore “by no later than 11:59 pm” today their websites and datasets to pre-January 30th status. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Instead of saying "I didn't understand the halftime show, therefore it is bad art" maybe try and understand why you didn't get it and think critically about the presentation, symbolism, etc. This is part of the beauty of art and creativity.

Choose 20 paintings that have stayed with you or influenced you. One painting per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just paintings. #blueskyart #art #painting Day#2

This constantly gets brought up in response to AI criticism. No one objects to these applications. They object to the consumer facing dreck that's being marketed to us as groundbreaking and forced onto our devices.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Conservative budget wonks (Manhattan Instiutte, Tax Foundation) confirming that this is a consittutional crisis. Not liberal hysteria. Happening right now.

Bloomberg: Musk said DOGE was shutting down payments by the US Department of Health and Human Services to Lutheran Family Services, a faith-based charity that has been providing social services to refugees. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
