Yes they are evil but they love rape specifically because it's a hierarchal operation. They believe women (who are the victims of majority of rapes) are lessee than men, so men can do what they want to them. So ofc to children too.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic, known as manikomycin, that may be a bulwark in the fight against drug-resistant superbugs. By attacking the ribosome in a never-before-seen way, manikomycin can evade the existing mechanisms pathogens have developed to resist antibiotics.

I spent $7,500 on a full-body checkup and cosmetic procedures in Turkey
A disappointing physical sent me looking for healthcare 6,000 miles from home. It was cheaper and more comprehensive.

Let's not forget the guy that created the first planned suburb in the US said the suburbs were anti-communist bc commutes and yardwork consumed all the worker's leisure time to organize.

Let’s add perspective: nearly 2,000 CDC staff were deployed in the last Ebola outbreak. Only 100 have been deployed this year. This outbreak is on track to surpass the last.

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

What irritates me most about the "covid is no big deal" crowd is that there's growing evidence that unexplained neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's are actually caused, at least in part, by repeated exposure to viral pathogens over a lifetime.

Tonight I did karaoke, ending with a big group song. I just watched a video of some guy saying there won't be fish in the ocean in 20 years. I want to make a binder of all the lyrics to everyone's fave songs, like Radiohead's "Creep," so we can all still sing them together, come world's end.

As a pragmatic centrist, I read the Niemöller poem differently. After each group mentioned I pencil in what percentage of the population they are, and if it’s a small number I cross off their names as disposable. Poetry is fine but math wins elections!!

I was thinking today that the question "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" would be met with "Compared to who?" from a huge percentage of USians. Stop saying that working class whites vote against their interests. When their interest is protecting white supremacy, they aren't.
