Spot on.

Six years ago. This is when the public health apparatus lost its credibility. We were told it was too dangerous for kids to go to school, but not too dangerous for thousands of people to gather for the “right” cause. Feels like a fever dream.

[EffectFreak @effectfreak]

🧪😳 Yes!

Dr. Oz really just said that Trump has gone to the doctor 4 times because he does so well there and "likes the results".

The scariest thing about this is that this man is actually a real doctor who heads up the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

We are so screwed!

Q: If the president is in such perfect health, why does he keep going back in for checkups?

DR OZ: I think he likes the results. He does really well. He aces the test every single day.

[EffectFreak @effectfreak]

Agree.

It doesn’t matter what problem you want to tackle — money in politics stands in the way of solving any of it. The best thing we can do to make Washington work better is:

1. Ban stock trading in Congress
2. Get corporate PACs and dark money out of politics

Your posts are most interesting and helpful. Glad I found you and hope others do as well.

For most of the 20th century, the Pacific yew was called a 'trash tree.' Then researchers found something in its bark.

Pacific yew is slow-growing, scraggly looking, and considered commercially worthless. When loggers cleared the old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest for Douglas fir, they shoved the yews into slash piles and burned them.

Then researchers found the compound paclitaxel in its bark. Paclitaxel stopped cancer cells from dividing. Sold as Taxol, it became one of the most important chemotherapy drugs ever developed, eventually standard treatment for ovarian, breast, and lung cancers. The FDA approved it in 1992.

But there was a catch. The drug came from the bark, and stripping the bark kills the tree. A single course of treatment took the bark of several mature yews, and a mature Pacific yew can be a century or two old.

Chemistry eventually solved this problem. Scientists learned to build the drug from a compound in the needles of common ornamental yews, which regrow. The wild trees were spared, and the medicine kept coming.

A tree nobody valued was carrying one of the answers the whole time. We almost burned all of them first.

Total 🤡 show.

We live in a dangerous world, and the president wants to make the Freddie Mac guy the new director of national intelligence.

Here’s a simple buying tip. Always carefully review any pictures showing the underside of guitar effects. Pay special attention to all of the screws. If there’s a sign of damage to any screw, I don’t buy. Someone else’s internal tweak is another person‘s nightmare.

[EffectFreak @effectfreak]

Bought this album back then and liked it.

[Musical Freedom @Marcello1967IT]

Eric Clapton - 461 Ocean Boulevard - 1974

"Motherless Children", "Willie and the Hand Jive", "Let It Grow", "Get Ready", among others make the album a great work by Clapton.

Reluctantly voted for her but I think you’re correct.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

It’s preposterous when people argue that “Kamala would have been worse.” Do you seriously think she would have gone to war with Iran? Do you seriously think she would have imposed unilateral tariffs and reversed our economic recovery? No, she would have been fine.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

Great, a totally unqualified loyalist with a record of cutting corners to help the president punish political opponents. Just the guy you want at DNI.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Like honestly "it's going to take us several weeks to tell you who won the election" is failed state shit and should be much more stigmatized.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

The fact that California elections often can't be resolved for weeks is kind of insane and not common in other electoral systems around the world.

[EffectFreak @effectfreak]

Damn right.

[Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly]

If anyone else were in the White House, Democrat or Republican, America’s 250th birthday would be a celebration of what unites us and the strength of our democracy. This day belongs to the American people, not any one politician.

Fun!
