Penicillin was not, in fact, the first antibiotic.

this man should get combat pay bc he was FIGHTING here

Oh, if all opera plots were that simple (and close to reality): Key Plot Scenes of Giordano "Il Re", a one act opera from 1929 in three scenes (per GPOPERA). 1/4

Not a sentence any dad likes to say but - my daughter crashed my Jaguar E-Type. Not as bad as it looked though at first.

So dark — the @nypost invented a story about “thousands” of 9/11 families telling @NYCMayor Zohran to “stay away” from the anniversary ceremony… then tried to cover it up when they got called out. (After others picked it up) From @JuddLegum: www.threads.com/share/BAYurF...

So Trump and McMahon now are trying the velvet glove approach to get universities to submit. It’s just a watered down version of the compact they tried to impose last year. No self-respecting university should comply. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/u...

And he says this since 10 years. People will look back to this time (if they are around still and/or can) as the stupidest time of wrong decision and the worst people in power driving us to the abyss.

David Attenborough, the voice of Our Planet: “Things are going to get worse”

The voice of some of the most stunning nature documentaries ever made is pessimistic about the future of wildlife on earth.

Thanks to that UPS idiot driver who put a package right in front of the garage door because too lazy to take a few steps up to the house door - so that the next person leaving in our car would drive right over it and destroy it. Well done.

This is one of the most wildly irresponsible things I have ever seen a tech company do, and that is *really* saying something.

New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

Just an appreciation post for this guy. The COVID pandemic would have been far worse without Dr. Fauci's decades of experience as guidance through it. Had he been working under an adult president and not the child that presided over 2020, he would have saved even more lives without having to contend

It’s amazing that we have today still epics that are ~2,800 years (Iliad & Odyssey) or even 4000 years old (Gilgamesh) from the Bronze Age. Reflecting probably eve earlier events.

Fauci co-edited / co-authored THE main textbook (the Bible) on Medicine and in it the part on infectious diseases. What did Rand Paul do - invent an alternative ophthalmology board to be "board-certified" - not recognized by the official ABMS or the American Medical Association?
