Dem crazy dog lady. Up and down the east coast. Silence is complicity. You broke it? You bought it. Roy Cooper for Senate. ICE OUT




Dog owners need to uphold the social contract slowboring.com/p/dogs-arent-p…


🇹🇷 A Turkish official has become a social media sensation Orhan Avcı gained fame after news of his appointment as head of the district branch of the “Huzur” Party. However, people ended up discussing not so much the appointment itself as his photo. “There’s a face on his moustache,” users joke.

Orange production in Florida has collapsed over 95% in less than 25 years. 100% of trees are now infected with a disease officially deemed “incurable.” Who killed the Florida orange? My investigation, in @slate, into the lost empire of the old citrus state.


Long term follow up of a phase 1 trial of an mRNA tumor vaccine shows that 7/8 patients with pancreatic cancer, who mounted an immune response to the vaccine, are still alive 6 years later. This is breathtaking data and shows the promise of mRNA vaccines. nbcnews.com/health/cancer/…

btw I am not "anti-Israel." I'm not an "anti-Zionist," depending on how we're defining the word Zionist (I am like many normie liberals against the settlements, the occupation, and the brutalization of Palestinians, but supportive of a democratic Jewish state). I am a boring-ass two state solution person who thinks both Israelis and Palestinians would be best served by each group coexisting in side-by-side countries. Palestinians are incredibly ill-served by the murderous tyrants of Hamas (to put it very mildly). But if you think Israel is being well-served by its current government... then yeah we very much disagree.



From @TheAthleticFC: New Jersey Transit confirmed on Friday that World Cup match goers will be charged $150 for a return rail trip from New York's Penn Station to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey this summer. Tickets are ordinarily priced at $12.90. nyti.ms/4sHcLzR



Pancreatic cancer has one of the most suppressive tumor microenvironments in oncology. But two pancreatic cancer results dropped today. Both matter. 1. BioNTech mRNA neoantigen vaccine: nearly all responders still alive at 6 years. 98% of induced T cells were de novo — the immune system learned to see a cancer it had always been blind to. 2. Daraxonrasib: 47% ORR, 92% disease control as first-line monotherapy. KRAS G12D, undruggable for 40 years, finally has a drug. Different mechanisms. Same disease. Both working. <13% of patients survive 5 years. That number is about to change. great day for science! 🔥



americans be like "but walking is banned" lmao, do you really think that football fans care? it will be like a zombie herd making their way through, you won't be able to drive on those roads
