Lost in the ongoing Trumpapalooza is the excellent news that a malaria vaccination developed at Oxford Univ. over the last 30 years and costing only £3 per shot is being unrolled in malaria-prone countries. If it fulfills its promise, this will make an enormous difference to so many lives.

just watched a presser with Milwaukee cops explaining that Wisconsin is an open carry state so they can't do anything about it if somebody's walking around the soft perimeter with an AR

This same operation has been responsible for 8 outbreaks from 2006 to 2016. They just change names & re-open the doors. All in, they've probably sent 25-30 people to the hospital with life-threatening conditions, made ~200 people+ sick, and I really want this to land: ARE STILL IN OPERATION.

Speaking of “don’t drink raw milk”, a timely reminder that it’s not just flu that makes pasteurization the lifesaving innovation that it is. Also that if you let manufacturers ignore safety, they will, and they’ll *keep* doing it. 🧪 www.cidrap.umn.edu/foodborne-di...

Lenacapavir did so well at preventing HIV infection that it hit the threshold where the only ethical thing to do was stop the randomized trial and immediately offer it to literally every participant. That's huge news. www.npr.org/sections/goa...
A new way to prevent HIV delivers dramatic results in trialwww.npr.org The testing of lenacapavir was halted because results were so impressive — 100% effectiveness. The decision was made to give all participants the injection rather than the alternative daily pill.

It's not every day that senators ask the attorney general to appoint a special counsel to criminally investigate a sitting Supreme Court justice. What's more, the case against Clarence Thomas is quite credible. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.

Honestly still in shock that the most crooked American President in history said "I need immunity" and the GOP Supreme Court said "well, it's nowhere in the constitution, but sure, why not? Whats the worst that could happen?"

Like, even setting aside the fascism, racism, and all-around evil (I know), he's a rapist who wears pancake makeup, ill-fitting suits, and *that hair* in public, who talks like his lips have magnets in them, who brags about athletic prowess with the body of Leonid Brezhnev. THIS is your avatar?

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.
