@HonkyBadger @RandPaul Quicker, more effective, and more expensive. The point is you don't need it, you can breed antibiotic resistant bacteria in a basement lab if you're crazy enough.

@pointy_elbows @RandPaul "Gain of function" is generally understood to involve direct genetic manipulation, or modern techniques to induce specific mutations. Selective breeding is just guided evolutionary pressure which is usually slow and limited in what it can produce in a reasonable amount of time.

@AlexBerenson @AnnieJacobsen Living up to your reputation for leaving out details.
Pneumonic plague is only treatable with very prompt antibiotic therapy.
Anti-antibiotic prophylaxis is the next logical step in your anti-vaxx movement.
And none of that matters if this is an antibiotic resistant strain.

@FlorenceClaraRN @bennyjohnson About half to three quarters of European humans are not here because of the plague.

@mattyglesias "Ordinary" pneumonic plague is reliably treatable only with prompt antibiotic therapy.

That said, it isn't wildly contagious and probably self-limiting.

The initial panic definitely suggests they had reason to suspect something worse than ordinary plague has escaped.

@ImmortanZit Your transphobia is disgusting.

@JohnHMcWhorter Your recent take on Loury's show echoes a much larger principle: when radical and cynical ideologues intimidate ordinary people into silence on serious issues (immigration, DEI/Arday, etc.), it invites fringe and odious characters to step into the discussion and gain credibility.

@AshtonForbes There's a very simple question here you haven't answered: if zero-point energy is the absolute lowest possible energy state of a quantum system, and then you use it up to do work, what happens to the quantum system?

@MeghanMcCain Your father has good qualities.
Your only quality is that he was your father.

@Richard_Harambe If the shopping cart was filled with meth and young boys.

@RealCandaceO It's like a stage designer reached directly into his mind and saw what he sees in the mirror.

@nicksortor Milo, Harry and Meg all in one week.
Hat trick.

@Nero Sounds like he had an inside source

@_josephine0_ Good jeans even when she's not wearing jeans.

@LanieASassyVet The obvious Tab soda.

@LauraLoomer Highly likely.
But you're also likely to get caught out in the sun one day and flash melt like the Nazis at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
So the future is bright 🌞

@DHSgov @elonmusk X should probably anticipate changing the location of this account
