Good boy!

Never a dull moment these days

From last week’s NIH town hall: ‘Bhattacharya said, “the other kind of studies [on redlining that] I want to distinguish is something like ‘structural racism causes poor health in minority populations.’ ” “What do you think redlining is?” the audience member said. Thank NIH ppl for standing up. 💪

What has been seen can never be unseen

I understand 47 is golfing today

wow, that's really...something?

In "Doonesbury," Andy Lippincott died 35 years ago, on May 24, 1990. Andy was not only the first openly gay character in newspaper comics but also the first one to die of AIDS. Here is that strip and the ensuing sequence:

Congrats, everyone.

5 years ago: “An incalculable loss” Today: Banning masks and restricting vaccine access

Thanks Harvard, for taking a stand. Perhaps we should all stand together….

Tell us about your future WoW House!

Make it happen for me Blizz, pretty please?

Once again I am painfully embarrassed for my country

Stealing this

They can only win if they cheat

This is how our government treats American citizens

Preach!

I guess he gets to be their token white guy so they can show how the law applies to everyone. sucks for him and his family.

Am I crazy or did we just have a convo about how we can't fund cancer research?

This is so depressing www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

QFT

wrote about the covid vaccine restrictions and how Trump being bad at his job is bad for him and even worse for us. ppl say nothing matters, but trump's refusal to take covid seriously almost killed Donald Trump. but he still won't take it seriously! www.everythingishorrible.net/p/trumps-inc...

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

After watching this talk I finally believe that NIH as we know it is finished.

Today, NIH Fellows United and our colleagues walked out of NIH Director Jayanta Bhattacharya’s Town Hall. Dr. Bhattacharya's tenure at NIH has been marked with damaging cuts to NIH personnel and biomedical research funding.

Only the best and brightest 🙄

Don't miss the scariest committee hearing of the year.

I have no words.

I am laughing so hard it hurts

😂

This is appalling

RFK Jr: citizens should have the right to make their own medical choices for themselves and their children Also RFK Jr: YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO GET A COVID VACCINE ANYMORE

Getting ready to watch Jayanta lie to us all

This is an excellent article, tying in history with what’s happening now. @altnps.bsky.social @altusfs.altgov.info @hcrichardson.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...
