@MadgeOrrity Not a patch on the Cabana bar, shame they stopped making them.

A friend in the U.K. died a little while ago & his dog is looking for a loving home- I met him today for the first time & he jumped up next to me to snuggle - Anyone have any recommendations on how best to rehome so that his grieving heart mends & he gets the love he so deserves

The Environment Agency has dropped its threat to prosecute litter pickers over alleged environmental offences while clearing rubbish from a London River.

It comes after Channel 4 News recently exposed legal threats made to Paul Powlesland and other volunteers for undertaking clearance work without a permit.

The East Londoner claims he took action after authorities failed to clear rubbish from the River Roding.

While the Environment Agency said it won't pursue a prosecution, it has continued to warn against future rubbish clearing activities, something Mr Powlesland has said he will ignore unless he's given a meeting with the organisation's chief executive.

Collarbone broke. Spirit didn’t. 💪🔵

Thursday crash. Overnight surgery. Saturday race. @lorenzo99’s Assen comeback to P5 remains one of MotoGP’s most unreal displays of grit – and a true symbol of MotoGP riders’ fighting spirit 🐦‍🔥

@arisonsned Nice one.. I’ve read a few pages of a book, it’s a better brain day- I wonder if the heat has had any influence on it?

@WRCPAST I’m not keen on the colour.

A new study finds the dementia drug Donepezil helps treat Long COVID fatigue and depression. The virus triggers a protein that drops brain acetylcholine; Donepezil restores it to clear brain inflammation and symptoms.

@FvdE I believe those CT range of turbos have a carbon seal in them too… ideal for a draw through.

[Dom #FBLC @DominicMoss13]

@FvdE @primerelic Yeah, I thought the fitment looked too tight and wheels slightly too large.

@pinstripedline I wonder if the upstairs windows open? I know it’s a generalisation but from what I’ve read the Ruskies seem to be a little unsteady at height especially when near a balcony or an open window.

I qualified and raced in five @bostonmarathon's, was an avid triathlete who raced 11 times with my Team Hoyt buddy Liam. I got sick in early '20, went on disability a yr later. With a broken immune system I now have stage IV cancer. Too many symptoms to list w/ cognitive decline

Today we're launching Intercept: a $500M philanthropic initiative to make respiratory infections, like the common cold and flu, a thing of the past.

We treat respiratory infections as a minor nuisance, but that’s really not the case. Most of us will spend 5% of our lives (!) sick from these viruses, they kill 1M people a year, cost $600B annually in productivity, and periodically threaten civilization through pandemics.

So, if they’re such a big problem, why haven’t we dealt with them yet? Last year we convened ~40 leading scientists, pharma R&D leaders, biotech investors, and regulatory experts to better understand that.

We heard two main reasons:
(1) First, it’s just technically very challenging: respiratory viruses represent hundreds of distinct, mutating strains across several families. Fortunately, recent breakthroughs make this newly possible.
(2) Second is a lack of funding: broad-spectrum solutions have historically been underfunded, in part because they’re not a great fit for most philanthropic or commercial funding (and while COVID generated a burst of activity around preventing and understanding respiratory infections through an influx of new funding, that hasn't been sustained).

We think that with enough focus and funding, this might be solvable. Intercept is a $500 million philanthropic initiative that will take advantage of new tools to catalyze the development and deployment of two types of products: broad-spectrum preventatives and air cleaning technologies.

This problem is undoubtedly difficult. But it’s more tractable now than it’s ever been. We think we should give it our best shot.

We’re enormously grateful to our anchor funders: @stripe, @AnthropicAI, @TheFluLab, @FoundationOAI and individuals from Jane Street.

And, I’m very excited to be building this with @incredutility and the rest of the team.
