Happy Higgs Boson Anniversary! On this day 12 years ago, CERN confirmed the Higgs boson exists. That just means there’s a universal field most things interact with that gives them mass. The boson pops up when the field is jostled enough by, say, LHC collisions. 🧪 home.cern/science/phys...

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

It's the Feast Day of St George Michael (his birthday). To celebrate, I suggest you listen to his many divine jams, do some mutual aid, and flirt with a stranger. May he continue to guide us all in our endeavours. Ora pro nobis, Sancte Georgi.

Friends, the “People’s CDC” is not a reliable source of information, nor are they a good faith actor. Neither FDA nor CDC want to restrict access to the fall booster for the 2024-2025 Covid season. Their claim otherwise is fear-mongering bullshit.

May 16, 1944, 600 Roma and Sinti staged an uprising at Auschwitz after they'd heard 6000 gypsies were about to be executed. They barricaded themselves in the barracks, armed with whatever they could find. Their resistence meant no gypsy died in camp that day. It's Roma Resistence Day. Opre Roma.

Really interesting story. I'm still not entirely clear WHY the assault on public education, but the what and the how are pretty obvious from this
