500,000,000 these are Arabic numerals

No part of this commentary is surprising coming from RFK Jr (it is as accurate as any of his other scientific claims) but it is insane that in the current political climate a person can say something like this essentially without profound personal or professional consequences.

Vile stuff. Perfectly clear that Robert Kennedy Jr. is a fascist and trying to position himself as Trump’s heir apparent. I just want to take this moment to shout out all the post-left contrarian types who embraced him as some kind of independent voice for truth. Good job, losers.

In essence, this is no different than running risky Gain-of-Function research on a dangerous pathogen... Uncontrolled H5N1 outbreaks on mink farms are a global risk, as Mink have α2,6 receptors similar to humans. The virus could evolve that infection route in Mink www.propublica.org/article/bird...

If I'm going to give you $3 million, what would you do with it? If you were the Republican candidates in the #Indiana State Senate District 23 primary, you would spend it on false and vicious attack ads against your opponent.

What kind of numerals do you use when you make up fake statistics about vaccine harms, you shitweasel?

The Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI) announced on Monday that it had uncovered a sabotage network coordinated from Russia that was involved in starting the fire at the Carfil industrial platform on September 14, 2026. agerpres.ro/english/2026...

About this H5N1 mink farm in Utah. It is REALLY dangerous to let bird flu spread unchecked through mammals, esp minks. They have similar susceptibility & respiratory physiology as us. Flu can adapt to human hosts by adapting to mink respiratory tracts. rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/the-party-...

There are multiple winners of the Nobel Prize in different categories from Arab countries: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of... Iranians have won the Fields Medal twice: stats.areppim.com/stats/stats_... People from Arab countries have won the Wolf Prize: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_Pr...

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

This is Bakhmut before and after Russia came. A living Ukrainian city was reduced to ruins by months of Russian assault. Russia calls it “liberation.” Bakhmut shows what that word really means. Support link is in our Bio.

This is playing with fire. It’s also a plot worth of Dr. Evil, to spark the next deadly pandemic because we can’t shut down or regulate the dwindling number of mink fur farms. Fur farms are cruel, dangerous and carry actual catastrophic risk.

Eric Bauza, the award-winning voice actor whose performances of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and many more characters made him the modern voice of Looney Tunes, has died. He was 46.

Dr Janelle Ayres looks like Trump's vision of a proper doctor.

The CEO of German car manufacturer Audi, Gernot Döllner, has made a stage appearance at a Trump rally. The backdrop is Audi's forthcoming investment in the U.S. state of Georgia. There are lots of ways of promoting one's company on the U.S. market. A Trump rally is probably the stupidest.

Repeat after me: Russia has no legitimate security concerns; only its neighbours do. Russia has been the only one invading others.

Lula wins a ‘miracle’ election in Brazil. Now comes the hard part: putting the country back on the right track theconversation.com/lula-wins-a-...

After a stunning election victory for President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in Brazil, U.S. right-wingers are falling back on an old favorite: baseless claims that the contest was rigged. www.ms.now/news/flavio-...

This feels historical... tipping point for the planet and the good guys? 🙏🙏🙏 #Lula #Brazil

Very grateful to be invited to present at this @togaanz.bsky.social webinar! Will highlight some of the exciting translational research we've been doing in @sutherlandlab.bsky.social at @wehi-research.bsky.social

Important thread. It is very hard to understand why we have let this outbreak run, with the very real risk of sparking the next pandemic.

There is something really concerning (and disappointing) going on in the US right now. A dangerous and preventable situation. Let me explain. nextstrain.org/avian-flu/h5... 1/

Fuck Audi 'Isabel Cademartori, the transport spokesperson for Germany’s Social Democrats (...) called Döllner’s actions a “disgrace”. She added this was particularly so “in view of the history of the Volkswagen Group”, in an apparent reference to VW’s founding as a showcase company under the Nazis.'

Fuck Meta

Before the Brazilian election where progressive Lula beat right-wing Bolsonaro, Meta is accused of disrupting Lula's Insta and WhatsApp accounts Meta blamed "technical difficulties" That would be more believable if similar incidents had not happened recently in the US Tech billionaires are evil

Fingers crossed 🤞 Unlike people in other countries confronted with an authoritarian regime (🙄), Serbians have protested and resisted bravely, continuously, and virulently. ✊
