WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It is often weakened by attacks on the institutions in the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January of 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Obama just delivered a blunt warning about the AI boom, the money driving it, and the Trump administration’s response. Then he turned to voters with a message that deserves far more attention.

I really hate that Meta Glasses commercial with the blind veteran because it's so clearly a PR attempt by Meta to try to turn the conversation on their pervert glasses to "see, we're making them for accessibility"

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

If the vaccine is effective in a late-stage trial, it would be “paradigm-shifting,” one expert said.

If you refused to vote for Hillary in 2016, you don't get to complain about ANY of the Supreme Court decisions made since then. You didn't care enough then, when it mattered, you don't get to pretend to care now. At the very least, learn from this and do better in the future.

Jun 16th 1994 - Jesse and Celine met on a train heading to Vienna. 📽️📅 Before Sunrise (1995)
4 Screenshots from the movie "Before Sunrise" (1995): First, a young man with short brown hair and a maroon sweater sits by a train window, smiling and relaxed, with green countryside passing by outside. Second, a young woman with long wavy blonde hair, wearing a short-sleeved top and holding a book, looks toward the man as they sit across from each other on the train. Third, the man and woman stand facing each other on a train platform next to a red and black train, speaking seriously as he gestures with his hands; the subtitle reads: "Um... Last night. Six months from last night, which was, uh, uh, June". Fourth, the conversation continues with the man gesturing as the woman listens intently; the subtitle reads: "16th. So uh, Track Nine, six months from now, at six o'clock at night."

Blacksky isn’t Black Twitter and that’s a good thing. Black Twitter was killed because it was built on a platform we made relevant but had no say in. Blacksky is not only an opportunity to correct that, but to also build a new vertically integrated Black network. It’s just time to move on.
