Scientist watching the world burn from Tahoe. PhD in neuro stuff. Retired, I guess. Time currently mostly spent on writing, art, reading, volunteering, and staring at large bodies of water. Wx obsessed.

But instead of making you reconsider your humanity and legacy, they're just pointing UV flashlights at your gravestone to show all the piss, and laughing.

Climeworks's Orca facility in Iceland, currently the world's largest direct air capture facility, was designed to remove 4000 tonnes of CO₂ per year. In 2023, it removed just 921 tonnes. That's a time machine that takes us back 0.7 seconds in a year. 🥲 climeworks.com/news/...

What's amazing is how DeBears basically transformed those squishy bears into a valuable asset by sheer force of advertising bordering on social engineering. Gummies are one of the most common sugary snacks!

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.

My Solomonic view is that NYT—perhaps the president’s primary persecutor recently—showed its whole ass with this swiss-cheese Parkinson’s specialist story. It’s blatantly copied from right-wing charlatans, unvetted. And a nimbler White House and campaign would be making it pay dearly for that.

In France, the left coalition comes in first, Macron second, the far-right third. The best way to defeat fascism is not centrism, it’s a strong left.

Sigh. If you type "suggestive bird names" for a joke Google AI suggests things like titmouse, goatsucker, and... the southern fuckbird... which definitely is not a thing.
