It’s crazy that the Biden administration allocated $42B for rural broadband expansion, connected exactly 0 rural homes to broadband, and now you can buy Starlinks at Target next to the discount jeans.
NOW — Dr. Leana Wen Calls for the FDA to Authorize the Bird Flu Vaccine
“There actually is a vaccine developed already against H5N1. The Biden Administration has contracted with manufacturers to make almost 5 million doses of the vaccine. However, they have not asked the FDA to authorize the vaccine … They could get this authorized now and also get the vaccine out.”
🚨Joe Rogan laughs hysterically when he realizes the Pentagon has never passed an audit:
"How many times have they missed their audit? WAIT, THEY'VE NEVER PASSED AN AUDIT? REALLY? NEVER?" 😂😂😂
Weird how the people who've spent the last 4 years insisting lab leak is a conspiracy are fighting tooth and nail to prevent the release of information that would prove them right and shut everyone up once and for all.
80% of adult male relationships are just sending cancellable memes to each other in a group chat and responding either lol or LOL depending on your level of amusement.
This accounts for ~90% of all male relationship needs.

This is simply incredible stuff right here
Two of baseball’s most cerebral geniuses, Barry Bonds and Greg Maddux, breaking down the absolute chess game that was their approach to competing against one another
The passenger steamer SS Warrimoo was quietly knifing its way through the waters of the mid-Pacific on its way from Vancouver to Australia. The navigator had just finished working out a star fix and brought Captain John DS. Phillips, the result. The Warrimoo’s position was LAT 0º 31’ N and LONG 179 30’ W. The date was 31 December 1899.
“Know what this means?” First Mate Payton broke in, “We’re only a few miles from the intersection of the Equator and the International Date Line”. Captain Phillips was prankish enough to take full advantage of the opportunity for achieving the navigational freak of a lifetime.
He called his navigators to the bridge to check & and double-check the ship’s position. He changed course slightly so as to bear directly on his mark. Then, he adjusted the engine speed.
The calm weather & clear night worked in his favor. At midnight, the SS Warrimoo lay on the Equator at exactly the point where it crossed the International Date Line. The consequences of this bizarre position were many:
The bow of the ship was in the Southern Hemisphere & in the middle of summer.
The stern was in the Northern Hemisphere & in the middle of winter.
The date in the aft part of the ship was December 31, 1899.
The date in the forward part of the ship was January 1, 1900.
The ship was, therefore, concurrently in:
two different days,
two different months,
two different years,
two different seasons
and in two different centuries.
