THIS IS HUGE! For the FIRST time in history, scientists at Sanaria and Seattle Children's Research Institute's Center for Global Infectious Disease Research (CGIDR) have developed a GROUNDBREAKING malaria vaccine (PfSPZ-LARC2) designed to provide >90% protection with just ONE dose. 🧪🧵⬇️

man i am just straight up not interested in people who will be perfectly okay in the next couple years moaning in public over and over and over again that we’re all cooked and doing nothing else. fuck off man! some of us have things to live for

Ben thinking about this off and on over the year since I posted it. Another topic that has come up in game dev discourse: The idea that games can have more in common with theater than with movies. I think "games as theater" and "jank = good, or at least co-occurs with good" are closely related

fuck this. i'm departing for the kingdom of prester john

every day i find out what cartoonishly evil thing they did, like uh oh! tesla intern octavius fiddlehorne has deleted the database at the research institute for cancer in kids. and all i can do is post until i find the words that activate one of my followers to go manchurian candidate on elon musk

I said this too and my dad said it to me independently this weekend. More and more people are saying this, is my point, that some day this year, TMZ will send out a headline about a medical incident involving a blocked toilet and comatose 53 year old man which begins to heal the world.

Touch-Tone Telephone but it's POWER youtu.be/d3p0aa6yM9I

it is honestly kind of striking to me that the founders were basically on target re: “things that could end our republic”

yeah these posts are just fearmongering, i am sincerely sick of them, we are not serfs living and dying at the whim of these landowners and acting like we are helps no one

Who are you talking to right now? Me? Am I supposed to go handle things? What the fuck do you actually do?

every day this week i've felt like I'm about to be approached by a guy I've the street who will say "You've always been chill. Don't go to america tomorrow"

well an upside to recent events is that they've inspired me to start working out again

apropos of nothing, remember when obama promised to close gitmo

Wow. it must feel terrible when someone takes something you made and uses it without permission or payment

I hate the trump doomerism where literally any response to his behavior is met with predictions that it will never work and trump will rule us forever

There’s a myth that you have to be a bleeding heart to be a leftist but it’s the natural tendency of the truly petty. To strive for a world in which everyone’s problems are entirely of their own making, leaving you free to judge without pity. This is the future the left wants

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this. Smashed records. Curtesy of Garrett Roberts.

I think we’re gonna get a lot of mileage out of this @papapishu.bsky.social gem

oh ho ho! looks like gobungo shut down and its users are migrating to florp. you’ll find us elder florpians don’t take kindly to you savage gobungans

Do not obey in advance. Instead, scroll your phone 60 hours a week and tweet “fascism is here y’all” 3 times a day.

Can't fuckin believe that my lg oled died after 3 years, just 5 months after its warranty expired.

My fav of these gotta be pops rosin

i think a lot of 40+ anger about zoomers' data being harvested by China is not about data privacy, and extremely about zoomers lacking the cold war reaganbrain to reflexively salute the flag if you say China Russia China Russia to them

okay, so, the thing is, being contrarian makes you *more* susceptible to propaganda, not less, in the same way bottomless cynicism does. you’ll grasp for any straw you can find that supports an alternative narrative.

very easy to get caught up in the loud obnoxious grifter assholes who decry “wokeness” & complain representation is ruining their “hobby” but the thing that matters is, a bunch of people chanting TRANS RIGHTS raise $2mil+ for great charities twice a year, every year. that’s what it’s all about

If you've enjoyed Cryptmaster, please consider sharing the news. Despite an IGF award, a 95% Steam rating and a free demo, the game has gone mostly unnoticed by both press and players. It's not just a typing game and there may still be people out there who would enjoy it!

Not paying for a knob, not 3D printing a knob, but a secret third thing

GLP-1 hormone research goes back to the 1970's, its testing to treat diabetes goes back to 1993, phase II clinical trials for Ozempic go back to 2008. Your desire to see others punished for losing weight 'the wrong way' is ignorant, mean spirited, and most importantly a tired & lousy joke

Misbuttoning my shirt on purpose so my enemies underestimate me

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford Medicine have devised an influenza vaccine that prompts immunity to ALL four major flu subtypes AND shows potential against bird flu, indicating a significant advancement in flu prevention and a potential increase in vaccine efficacy. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

if i stay up late enough i can see god and tell him everything he got wrong

an important addendum to my "i dont want to talk to a chatbot" rule is that i don't want to see screenshots of other people talking to chatbots

I’m Catholic and I vote and I’m a horse
