Everything in the air has war, combat energy right now. Everything is pointing to the use of raw, spectacular force. Trump joining on ICE patrols in the city. The White House saying it wants to host UFC (read: modern gladiator) fights. Viral Jubilee "debates" as live, rhetorical war games.

This is how to respond. Any response that includes, “this is bad, but…” misses the mark.

Science’s 2024 Breakthrough of the Year is lenacapavir, an injectable drug that demonstrated remarkable success at preventing HIV infection with one shot every 6 months. The drug attaches to the lattice-like capsid proteins that shield the virus’s genetic material—a mechanism that could inspire other antivirals. Lenacapavir could help end the HIV/AIDS epidemic, but that will hinge on access for those who need it most.
