🚨 do you understand what scientists just did to deafness..
researchers injected a modified harmless virus directly into the cochlea the spiral cavity in your inner ear.. carrying a working copy of a gene called OTOF.. the gene that transmits sound signals from your ear to your brain.. without it, your ear hears everything.. your brain receives nothing..
10 completely deaf patients.. single injection.. within weeks all 10 could hear.. 10 out of 10..
here's what nobody wants to say..
cochlear implants cost between $30,000 and $100,000 per patient.. hearing aids sell for up to $7,000.. the global hearing industry is worth over $9 billion a year.. every year.. recurring.. because deafness has never been cured.. just managed..
one injection ends all of that..
and in 2018 goldman sachs analysts literally wrote this in a report about gene therapy..
"curing patients is not a sustainable business model"
that's a goldman sachs equity research note.. sent to investors.. warning them that companies developing one-time cures were a risky bet because cured patients stop buying products..
the science to fix single broken genes has existed in research labs for years.. the same platform used here already cured a form of blindness in 2017.. cured spinal muscular atrophy in babies in 2019..
there are over 10,000 known single-gene disorders.. millions of people labelled "incurable"..
the platform exists.. the proof is 10 out of 10..
the question was never whether they could fix it..
it's whether fixing it was good for business.

"so what, your shadows a mess / im walkin with my own dirt" from the man who played out the whole confrontation of his own persona and shadow culminating in his acceptance of that darkness as part of having the light in interlude shadow. 🤌🏼🤌🏼

This one’s for the BTS ARMY! We’re jamming to “Body to Body,” because it has the right beat for Hands-Only CPR!
You could save a life with two simple steps: If you see a teen or adult collapse, call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest.

It’s even funnier because when you read past the purple prose you can see the verbs and metaphors are juuust slightly off. Pigtails dont stretch your “head” they stretch your scalp. Socks don’t “climb” legs they encase them or slip down. If you describe the air as “pastel” that’s

this is actually a very good point of reference for those who aren't yet familiar with chatgpt's "writerly" style, because it showcases pretty much every tendency and tick

🐱 We could say that the world is getting a little colder, right? Well, I mean... I'm not really into social media or things like that. I'm not very familiar with them but think they've really transformed the world. I think it's important to know where to cut down on looking at those things. Of course, we've always been making music in a competitive environment and though we will have to keep doing it, Ithink in today's world it's important to keep practicing finding one's own definition of contentment and happiness.

It's that magical time of year when private jets descend on a Swiss mountain village to discuss climate change and poverty! Anyway, here's my annual reminder. I'll stop posting this when they stop avoiding the real issue: their own massive tax avoidance 💰

My cancellable opinion on relationships is that people who are aware they are emotionally unavailable should not seek a relationship that they cannot provide a basic foundation for, knowing the other person will be neglected.
It's unfair and takes advantage of people for their capacity, who then struggle to leave once attachment is built, and endure heartbreak either way.
It's PERFECTLY OKAY to stay single until you address your emotional or attachment issues - I haven't had a boyfriend in 6 years, and much of that time was spent addressing my trauma so I wouldn't cause problems for someone else, and I survived! You can too - seek connection from friends and family in the meantime, but do not assign some poor person the task of ensuring emotional neglect until you decide to act ethically!

Lyfted over to a woman’s place to catch a movie for our third date. Before we start she tells me she’s emotionally unavailable, so I shrug and grab my stuff to leave. “You’re just gonna leave?” Are people okay? Yes, I’m just gonna leave. I’m trying to date, and you aren’t.

Just moments ago, I ended a call that shattered me.
My friend, trapped deep in the eastern area, spoke with a broken voice:
"The tanks are right in front of us… we see them moving closer, and death comes before them."
Martyrs have already fallen beside them no one can reach them, no one dares to move.
He spoke as if he was saying goodbye… as if he had already lost hope… as if he knew no one was coming.
Where is the ceasefire they talk about?
What lie did the world create to ease its own conscience?
The war hasn’t stopped it only changed shape, becoming more suffocating, under a global silence that’s just as criminal as the bombing itself.
The whole world watches us die and chooses to look away.
There is no justice left on this earth… only voices silenced, blood spilled, and hearts breaking every single day with no one hearing us.

.@MagnumIceCream silenced Ben & Jerry’s for trying to make a flavor to support peace in Palestine.
So guess what? I'm making it with your help!
Here’s the flavor, created by Flavor Winner Laura Davis.
There's still time to submit your package designs!

The ceasefire announcement has mostly served as a way to turn attention away from what Israel continues to do in Gaza.
There is no ceasefire, and the genocide is continuing.
Rashida Tlaib@RashidaTlaib
There is no ceasefire. It's a lie. More than 200 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli government since Trump claimed a ceasefire was achieved. The Israeli government never even stopped bombing Lebanon. They are still committing war crimes. aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/…

Ms. Rachel (Rachel Griffin Accurso), the extremely popular children’s educator, said she unsubscribed from the The New York Times, “because of its biased and dehumanizing coverage of Palestinians and Palestine, and its failure to uphold journalistic integrity.”
Over 300 writers, scholars, public intellectuals have recently pledged not to contribute to the NYT’s Opinion section, citing an entrenched anti-Palestinian bias in the newspaper’s Gaza coverage.
