New study by Linsey Marr: “We aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 & pulled it through masks. After 1hr we were able to recover infectious virus from fabric masks but not an N95 or surgical mask. When we pressed artificial skin against the masks we found viral RNA but no infectious virus on the skin.” #MasksWork

Protesters disrupting the Reform press conference with Farage. He’s going to have five years of this - I don’t think he realises what he’s up against.

This is the explicit goal of an astonishing amount of paid (and paid for!) propaganda out there. If you're feeling voting doesn't matter, maybe consider why it is so many people are spending so much money, time, effort and ad space trying to convince you not to.

"you're not American why do you care about the 4th of July" mate I'm Indian, any day someone got the Brits to fuck off back to their country is a national holiday for me

Hey, a bridge named for Argentina in Hamburg - ganz toll!

Vorhaben: Argentinienbrücke (Radroute 11): In Richtung Wilhelmsburg wird eine Protected-Bike-Lane angelegt, sodass der zweimalige Umweg über die Ampel entfällt.

Louis Armstrong famously claimed to have been born on July 4th, 1900 🎆🎂🎇 Turns out this was a branding gimmick; his real DOB was a year and a month later. But #Jazz is the only aspect of the American experiment that still feels like an unalloyed good this week, so I'll give Pops a pass!

Hell yeah 🇺🇸

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

Soccer interval: USMNT needs to face higher level competition more frequently, replace behalter if you want but the team will remain a potted plant in concacaf without more regular matches against better teams, mexico’s decline is actually bad for them in this respect

Indeed. Dugin with the “philosophical” underpinnings and it doesn’t take a scholar to figure it out. Conservative thinking in leftism is a thing (that is, understanding paradigm changes come hard to this bunch and they seem more comforable regurgitating things that go well with red wine)

Pro Russia leftists continue to get publicly humiliated every day as it becomes more and more obvious that Russia is supporting a far right power grab worldwide

⚽️ That first half of Colombia-Brazil has been the best and most exciting and intense football of the Copa América so far… too bad about the foul epidemic. The reffing has been, let’s say, counterproductive for the entire tournament. James Rodriguez can ball, too

this is so good!
