if nbc had the courage they would let me split screen in one browser window to watch two events at once

[Vincent The Therapist @mrhighfoster]

Let me explain what this means so that you understand better.
.
Sometimes tiny cells in our stomach get very stubborn and turn into bad guys called cancer. They grow way too fast and don't listen to the body's rules.
.
But you see, these smart scientists in Korea didn't want to fight them with big scary bombs and bazookas like old medicines do. Instead they sat the cells on a wooden bench and said "Look here you stubborn cells, why don't you just remember who you really are and be good again?
.
So they made a pretend computer twin of our belly cells. Just like a magic video game version. (something like that sha) so they played around in the game to find the three bossy switches that were making the cells stay stubborn.
.
.
Those three bossy switches have funny names. They are MYB, HDAC2, and FOXA2.
Fantastic 3 lool
.
The scientists turned those three mean switches Off. Poof.
And just like that guess what? The stubborn cancer cells were like "Ohhh… I remember now!
.
Then they calmed down, grew up properly, and turned back into nice, normal belly helper cells. No more bad growing.

They then tried this in Mice, and the poor mice got better. The bad lumps got smaller because the cells stopped being the bullies they were.

It's like telling your barking Dog at home to shusss and calm down. And it actually calms down.
.
.

This isn't ready for humans yet, as it's still developing. But it's going to help out someday. And well, a lot of people are gonna be wayyyy happier.
.
.
.

Kudos to the scientists once again and I'm super happy about this development and the positive impact it's going to have on affected people 💪🏾💪🏾

consumers forget that we have a say in the market.
we CAN & SHOULD refuse to purchase goods that are overpriced.
by not doing so, it is reinforcing the normalization of overpriced goods.
if you want concert tickets to be less expensive, we need to stop buying them at high prices

[DeeDee - ADHD Helper @DopaminePlsMe]

ADHD time blindness is such a specific social hazard.

My friends are holding a digital candlelight vigil for our friendship because I haven’t replied in 6 months. Meanwhile, I just saw a funny meme and sent it with "omg look," genuinely convinced that our last conversation was yesterday.

I’m not ghosting you I’m just living in a timeline where "five minutes ago" and "last April" feel exactly the same.

@importancatpete Less a commentary on dating rules and more on capitalism: my dad couldn’t afford textbooks and asked to borrow from my mom

[Clarissa Pompa @RissaPomp]

We bought a house and I was so excited to spoil trick-or-treaters and we only got one family instead of the stream I always dreamed of. We work hard but buying our home was only feasible bc of a living saint and that’s not a privilege everyone has or should need!

[X @XaviercMiller]

You don’t see neighborhoods like this anymore because most young parents don’t own homes. Less than 5% of mortgage holders are under 30 in major metros, and the average homeowner is over 50.

That’s why most neighborhoods or suburbs feel empty, they’re owned by older people whose kids are grown, while younger families are renting apartments & priced out of the communities.

I'm surprised to learn this week that French and British museums consider theft wrong

There has never been a better time to watch All the President's Men, a movie not only about the power of good journalism but also about how Robert Redford is cool and good looking

[Project Liberal @ProjectLiberal]

We agree with Charlie Kirk on basically nothing.

Except that he deserves the right, as every human does, to speak freely without the threat of violence.

[Mike Spence @ItsMikeSpence]

On June 14th Minnesota state senator Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home by a Republican official and nobody was talking about it by the weekend.

[Film Updates @FilmUpdates]

Rachel Zegler has officially concluded her run as the titular character in Andrew Lloyd-Webber’s ‘EVITA’ on the West End.

Her final performance earned the longest standing ovation in the history of the London Palladium.

Justice Sotomayor speaking powerfully in her dissent.

“We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job.”
