I think the fierce backlash to SOB has shown how much the animal movement really has changed popular opinion. It's easy to feel cynical about such things but a decade ago, banning gestation crates wasn't mainstream policy at all & now people from every part of
Had to rub my eyes a little reading this concurrence because it’s a remarkably cool drug-related take from Alito.
Maybe he’s used some THC arthritis cream and is now super chill about it? Worked for the old Italians in my family
Supreme Court strikes down laws that say you can't own a gun if you are legally using drugs.
Best quote comes from Alito of all people: “In these circumstances, marijuana use today is like alcohol use at the founding.”
@Justin077116818@joshbalk Killing them in the US would be significantly more ethical than what we currently do, which is ship them off to a low bidder and force them to trailer across the border for days in horrific conditions. We need to do better by all our animals.
@DeepNotShallow His answer also feels like bad media training. Feel like it would be better to 1) say he’s changed his beliefs or 2) say his personal diet doesn’t have a bearing on how he will represent his constituents’ interests lol. This just looks so shady
@das_mchl@myhandle I have introduced my partner to many things, such as: the music that was popular when we were both in college, clothing that does not suck, beer
if you're under 50 and you stay healthy, i think you will live to 150 years old minimum
the medical singularity is happening.
just in the past 2 months alone:
> revmed's pancreatic cancer drug (daraxonrasib) doubled survival in the deadliest cancer there is, 13.2 months vs 6.7 on chemo. it got a standing ovation from 40k+ doctors at the world's biggest cancer conference
> a one-time gene editing infusion (verve-102) permanently switched off the gene that drives bad cholesterol and cut it up to 62% from a single dose. one and done, no daily pill for life
> a lung cancer pill (lorlatinib) kept 60% of patients with spread cancer progression-free at 5 years. the longest anyone has ever held back a metastatic solid tumor with a single drug
> mayo built an ai that catches pancreatic cancer on routine ct scans up to 3 years before doctors can. it spotted 73% of the earliest cases vs 39% for human radiologists
> lilly's new weight loss drug (retatrutide) hit up to 30% body weight loss in its big phase 3 trial, and along the way it cut knee arthritis pain by 76% and dropped bad cholesterol about 20%
and we are still just at the beginning of the exponential
call me crazy but i'm a believer when Demis hassabis says we will cure all disease in the next 10 years
@drrdemon Idk about your state law but in CA I believe tenants can change the locks themselves as long as they give the landlord a new key. Worth looking into
@josiezayner@DStrachman This is super cool!! Even outside of breeding, with the number of genetic conditions in horses that cost $ and cause so much suffering for owner/animal, being able to even predict some of their health traits could seriously pay off.
being unprepared to take a Native American rights question from Gorsuch is sort of like being surprised that the Duolingo owl wants you to practice Spanish
