ok, so, this is entirely beside the point, but setting aside the abhorrent racism for a moment, is this a sticky rice that sort of clumps when you press it together? because I am used to rice with separate grains that you couldn't really do this with easily.

I personally do not think drug companies should be allowed to advertise the way they do in the US but I have to say that Gardasil (HPV vax) has had some really good ads lately. Very informative and effective communication. What a functioning society’s public health agencies should be doing instead.

14yo got her 2nd Gardasil vaccine! I’m rejoicing that my daughters are now protected against the cervical cancer that killed my mother. Fuck all the vaccine-haters. These vaccines save lives & anyone who chooses not to protect their kid, boy or girl, from HPV is an idiot & menace to society.

My main surprise is that this move took this long to do but this is about as grave a situation as you can get when it comes to vaccine regulation in the US: archive.ph/Y5WCM

One of the most gratifying days was the day the GOP prepared for huge crowds to attend this bastard's funeral, only to have pretty much nobody show up. Everything we see going on today in the Administration is the continuation of Reagan, but with the dog whistle replaced by a steam calliope.

Ventolin, the brand name for albuterol or salbutamol, was first sold in 1968. The first generic inhaler was not approved in the US until 2020 due to manipulation by the pharmaceutical industry. Because there are still so few approved “generic” alternatives it remains cost prohibitive for many people

You could waste your time reading that New Yorker article, or you could listen to the Behind the Bastards episode about Yarvin that rightfully mocks him mercilessly for being an edgelord idiot that doesn’t understand history.

Happy birthday to James Hutton - the Father of Modern Geology! Hutton used Scottish rocks, like this exposure at Glen Tilt, to support theories of plutonism and deep time. Here granite intrudes and surrounds sedimentary rocks - evidence these rocks were once molten
