  1. A nation with the grace to send children to Gitmo. What a weird fucking ghoul.
  2. Google’s AI on the query: “research universities nih return on investment:” ”According to recent data, research universities receiving NIH funding often generate a significant return on investment, with estimates showing that for every dollar invested in NIH research, the economic activity generated can be upwards of $2.60, demonstrating a substantial positive impact on the economy through job creation and medical advancement”
  3. Six million. Where have I heard that number? Oh yeah, and in 66.6% of the time. ”More than six million people could die from HIV and AIDS in the next four years if U.S. President Donald Trump's administration pulls its global funding for programmes, the United Nations AIDS agency said on Friday, February 7, 2025.” https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/health/six-million-people-could-die-from-hiv-and-aids-if-us-funding-stops-un-agency-warns/article69195809.ece
  4. Rejoice, you scatmunchers.
  5. @KeysPhoneWallet was here to disagree with that statement. And he’d cry bloody murder if anyone suggested he was a racist for disagreeing.
  6. So on brand. Intellectual honesty is beyond the R shits. We see it here constantly. Some show this moral failing almost immediately. Others over time.
  7. The Georgia Department of Public Health is limiting the availability of several adult vaccines for uninsured patients at local health departments through at least January. The limits apply to most immunizations offered by county health agencies — shots that prevent pathogens like hepatitis A, human papillomavirus, and shingles. Childhood vaccinations are not affected by the change, nor are local supplies of Covid-19 and influenza vaccines, said Cobb and Douglas Public Health Deputy Director of Clinical Operations Lauren Cedor. Through local health agencies like Cobb and Douglas, Georgia’s health department provides vaccines for many uninsured adults at less than $22 — significantly cheaper than an out-of-pocket price of a vaccine like hepatitis B, which GoodRx says has an average retail price of $107. It’s the type of service health experts say is crucial for maintaining a healthy public. https://www.healthbeat.org/atlanta/2024/12/18/vaccine-supply-limited-uninsured-adults-hpv-shingles-hepatitis/
  8. Must have missed the post that pointed out government jobs are a mitigating factor in economic downturns.
  9. The article posted on the coup thread, about how the election was stolen, has some easily proven/disproven benchmarks, which center around “bullet ballots.” Bullet ballots are ballots which record a vote in the presidential race, and no other race. The average bullet ballot rate is around 1%. The claim made was that in each of the swing states, and only in the swing states, the bullet ballot rate was off the charts, and as much as 11% in NC. The bb rate in the other 43 states conformed to the expected 1% rate. Throw in the margin of victory being just above the automatic recount mov in every swing state, and there is a coherent argument that fuckery is afoot. Should be easy to disprove the argument. Show the bullet ballot rates for every state.
  10. Testing embedding https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFDetHNuLT8/ Nope. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFDetHNuLT8/
  11. Doge is close to information on US nukes. “A representative from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, was granted access to the Energy Department’s IT system on Wednesday by Energy Secretary Chris Wright, two people with knowledge of the situation told CNN. Wright granted access to DOGE representative Luke Farritor — a 23-year-old former SpaceX intern — even over objections from the department’s general counsel and chief information offices, the people told CNN. The DOE chief information office is the department’s IT and cybersecurity office.” https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/06/climate/doge-energy-department-trump/index.html
  12. Chose this thread because the story of a Cessna going missing, over Alaska with ten people aboard, is likely to be a shitshow in the media. Edited to say apparently the plane was in a holding pattern while the runway was being cleared when it fell off the radar. ”CNN — A Cessna plane with 10 people on board has gone missing during a flight in Alaska, according to local and state officials. The plane, operated by Bering Air, was en route from Unalakleet to Nome, both cities in western Alaska separated by the Norton Sound inlet, according to the Alaska State Troopers.” https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/07/us/alaska-cessna-bering-air-hnk/index.html
  13. Congratulations, OP!
  14. I’m partial to lemon or mango Italian sorbet.
  15. Instagram video from an American Revolution historian about how his website, funded by the National Endowment of the Humanities, was taken down, scrubbed, then reposted. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DDtV7vrOg4D/?igsh=MXJ2cGthdTV3cGl0bg%3D%3D (Would appreciate schooling on posting Instagram videos so that they embed). Fuck the fascist deniers, deflectors, and enablers. UnAmerican fucks.
  16. What the FUCK? ”NEW YORK (AP) — Democrats in suburban New York are suing a Republican county executive over his creation of an armed unit of volunteer residents, saying it amounts to an “illegal, taxpayer-funded civilian militia.” Nassau County Democratic lawmakers argue in their complaint filed Wednesday that Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman lacked the legal authority to form a cadre of special sheriff’s deputies with “authority to use deadly force and make arrests under color of law.” https://apnews.com/article/new-york-armed-deputies-nassau-long-island-4708d686358458a3e29aecfa22a18758
