About 50 million Americans live with chronic tinnitus.
Most have been told there is no cure and nothing can be done.
The newest research disagrees on both counts.

The top 1% now hold as much wealth as the entire bottom 90% of Americans combined — about 32% each.
This is what runaway inequality looks like, according to the Fed's most recent data released this month.
Amazing study.
For too long, we’ve framed HPV vaccination as cervical cancer prevention.
But in a study of >1 million MALES, Gardasil 9 was associated with a 46% lower risk of HPV-related cancers.
That means fewer head & neck, anal, and penile cancers for men.

In people with long COVID, arterial stiffness in the large vessels looked no different from people who’d recovered cleanly.
The deficit sits one level down - in the smallest vessels, and specifically in how fast they can react.🧵
I’ve resigned from The Baltimore Sun after 25 years of politics and sports reporting. I was proud to have been there during a long period when our reporting followed the facts wherever they happened to lead. I’m not saying anything readers can’t see for themselves, but The Sun has changed since its purchase by David Smith, executive chairman of the Sinclair Broadcast Group. I no longer fit there. I’m grateful to the sources whose trust enabled me to report responsibly, and to the readers who supported our work. I’m exploring new opportunities inside and outside journalism. My DMs are open.
Two of the most important biomedical breakthroughs came from science of the Gila lizard venom (GLP-1s) and yogurt (CRISPR genome editing).
"The system that turned that lizard into a medicine is now being dismantled."
"Less support for scientists means strange questions no one will get to chase."

I am crashing out. We just watch our certain doom approach, doing nothing.
Newsweek Headline from 2024: Cat Owners Are Infecting Their Pets With Bird Flu, Officials Suspect.
I even made a thread I will post below.
I saw a comment saying the U.S. is the only country in the World Cup without universal healthcare. And I was like nahhh no way that's accurate.
20 seconds on the world wide web later, THE UNITES STATES IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD CUP WITHOUT UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE.
This is not an outlier or an isolated incident. Perhaps the most disturbing part is the conviction this woman has in believing neighbors shopping at HEB are a threat to her and her country. This "hate virus" is a contagion we must confront with facts, truth, and unity. #txlege
Georgia’s Original 33
I remember a year ago when my WABE colleague DorMiya Vance told me she was going to do a story on the first Black men elected to the Georgia General Assembly in 1868. #gapol
This is the culmination of her work. @DorMiyaVance https://t.co/yChmPSRq9u
The Gross Ole Pedophiles once again block attempts to ban child marriage. This time Ohio with one Republican declaring he knows 13yos who are more responsible than adults. Funny how that claim is never used to extend voting rights to kids, just the ability for men to rape them.
