OK so RFK Jr did say on CNN that "COVID-19", "RSV" and "Lyme disease" came from gain of function research. I've only seen lab leak RSV from some very fringe social media accounts so far; is this a common claim? Source: youtu.be/u-FVCCLsZnQ?... via @atrupar.com

Maybe there were police excesses in the past, but it sure seems like totally legalizing drugs isn’t working. It’s not only affecting the people who live around these drug zones, it’s literally killing in higher numbers the people who are addicted. Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...
Getting it done. Nice. 👏👏 And engaging with machine gun fire actually flips the cost vs price ratio. This is cheaper than even the little vertically launched interceptor drones.
