Noch skandalöser: in 5 Milliarden Jahren wird die Sonne zu einem Roten Riesen, was ehrlich gesagt eine ziemliche Katastrophe für uns ist. Und was macht die Bundesregierung in der Sache? Natürlich nichts! Mit ihrer blöden Zeitumstellung kommen sie da jedenfalls nicht sehr weit.

1 MRD Euro will die Bundesregierung mit der Wohngeld-Kürzung sparen und bestraft damit ca. 1,3 Millionen der ärmsten Haushalte des Landes. 2025 wurden 3,7 MRD Erbschaftststeuer erlassen. Das waren rund 109 Millionen Euro für jede*n dieser 34 Großerb*innen. www.zdfheute.de/politik/wohn...

🥊 Season 2 of #ScienceCounterpunch is here! We open with biosecurity expert Dr. Gigi Kwik Gronvall, who just testified before Congress on the abysmal state of US biopreparedness. All while H5N1 bird flu has hit US farmed mink for the first time recently. Are we ready? Short answer: fuck. 🧵👇

I enjoyed joining Sam and Philipp for Science Counterpunch! We talked biosafety, biosecurity, and why real scientific progress is essential to preparedness. Protecting people requires investing in the science and capabilities that make us all safer. Thank you for having me on!

"Pennsylvania’s Measles Outbreak Is Enormous". Indeed it is. Given 4 _reported_ deaths from measles and given a 0.1% - 0.3% CFR, the true number of cases - currently reported at 731 - is likely a couple/few thousand. That is big - and 100% vaccine preventable. www.theatlantic.com/health/2026/...

Pennsylvania’s Measles Outbreak Is Enormous
The two latest deaths suggest that the true number of infections is much larger than reported.

Vor 11 Jahren sah so die "Flüchtlingskrise" aus. Menschen, die Hilfe suchten & sie bekamen. Es war schön. Die Jahre danach waren die mit der niedrigsten Kriminalität ever, die allermeisten gingen zur Schule, in die Arbeit, manche wurden Deutsche. Lasst euch nicht einreden, es sei ein Fehler gewesen.

Great new article from @philippmarkolin.eurosky.social: www.protagonist-science.com/p/biased-med... There is no coherent lab leak theory, but instead many contradictory, fictional narratives that blame scientists to be responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic with no supporting scientific evidence.

In 2026, there is no longer any lab leak hypothesis you can state consistently with the available evidence. Despite this, it has been the dominant media narrative for six years. Read my new data-driven investigation: www.protagonist-science.com/p/biased-med...

Timely reminder re. the truth behind these attacks. No, Dr. Fauci did not fund GoF research in Wuhan. No, the work we did in China not have caused COVID-19. Yes, as @gostin.bsky.social points out, this work is considered an important goal for pandemic prevention. www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/the-...

I wouldn't call myself a cartoonist, but I had the vision and just needed it to be on paper to the best of my ability.
A hand drawn eight panel cartoon. First two panels are a colander sitting frowning on a shelf. Then the colander is frowning straining pasta, then three more panels of frowning sitting on a shelf. Then a big panel where it's projecting a bunch of crescent eclipse shapes and smiling with speech bubbles around saying "Wow! Look! Amazing! Beautiful!" And then one final panel where it's sitting on a shelf smiling.
