Our world cup bingo. Center square in the last seconds of the game for the horizontal win was the crying british child with tears streaking his face paint. Literally every game the camerman has found a crying kid. It’s kinda messed up.
This story is 🤯 Andrea Shaw’s twin toddlers died—she blamed vaccines & collaborated with RFK Jr’s extreme anti-vaxx activist group CHD She was lead plaintiff in a case in which CHD sued AAP claiming that advocating for vaccines is racketeering 👀 Shaw has now been indicted for murdering her kids

The US team is toast. Mixed feelings. On the one hand the red card call was BS. On the other it was gross to have a president lean on a sports competition. A win would have been sullied anyway. Now I can root for Norway and the Terminator.
That might be the most amazing goal I’ve seen. Capo Verde is at risk of the biggest upset in years.

Now that Elon has blamed his politics on his trans daughter I say we stop using pictures of him and instead substitute Saturn eating his children as the man has reached Greek myth levels of hubris, gluttony, greed and bad parenting.
I think there must be enough degenerate gamblers that don’t smoke that a nonsmoking Vegas casino would be a major draw. Why are we hosting medical conferences in these buildings full of second hand smoke? It’s bananas. Blew my nose this morning and my snot is black. Indoor smoking is so gross.

I think as science communicatiors we’re not doing a good job in the moment. Where are the skeptics boldly going out and saying the bubble being built around space exploration is not ever going to happen? Even Neil Degrasse Tyson, despite pointing out the stupidity, is kinda going along with it.
People look down on the degenerates at Wall Street Bets but I can’t help loving them a little bit. They’ve been going around posting everywhere that SPCE is spaceX hoping people don’t do their research. It’s not. It’s Virgin Galactic - a defunct penny. This is hilarious

This is really neat. Remember Hep B is still endemic in many places around the world, and even though the vaccine is fantastic, there are millions requiring effective treatment for chronic hep B. Another drug to use in combination will likely allow for higher cure rates as with hep C.

Bsky should talk more business sections and stock offerings because I swear it’s the best true crime reading you’ll find. This spaceX IPO is wild. Their filing is as goofy as WeWork’s was and they can’t even report a PE for the company to justify a ratio which is running a 93x revenue right now.
Space X has released its public filing for IPO and it's the most embarassing document since WeWork's S-1. They've got negative revenue and soon, if you don't move your retirement instruments out of indexes, you are going to be their exit liquidity. www.reddit.com/r/SpaceXBets...

I really think it needs to be bigger news that Korea’s largest employer just agreed to cost share a minority (15% net) profits with employees and those employees - all of them - are getting bonuses of $340,000 this year and yearly for the foreseeable future. Korea is going to rip.
Completely ignored by our media is that South Korean companies like SK Hynix and Samsung (at threat of a strike) have started paying their workers bonuses to spread the wealth from the chip manufacturing bonanza - on the order of hundreds of thousands of dollars per worker.
So this 1.776 "settlement" is in fact, not a settlement, and the judge said there is no settlement. The case was essentially dropped once the judge made noises that the mango couldn't sue an agency he controls. Thus this "deal" is a naked raid on the treasury. www.reddit.com/r/law/commen...
