BREAKING: A new Boeing whistleblower will testify in a Senate hearing on April 17th. Sam Salehpour, a Boeing engineer for over 10 years, allegedly raised concerns about the safety of the manufacturing process, but was silenced by the company.

@Yash25571056 Help! I finally qualified to receive a new booster vaccination but am genuinely wondering about the efficacy. I am already very cautious with masks indoors and only eating outside. I respect your opinion-are better outcomes associated with combining these efforts with a booster?

”In conclusion, elderly SARS-CoV-2-infected patients experience a more severe clinical course, higher secondary infection rates, and increased risk for long-term mortality, regardless of immunomodulatory therapy.” In other words, living longer with COVID-19 means living shorter than expected, actually.

@msolurin During the Jim Crow era, a Black man walked into a rally for GA Gov. Eugene Talmadge. Talmadge yelled, “Is that a N*gg*r I see?!,” then he throws this Black man out & the whyte voters cheer. The Black guy then goes around back & collects his $$ from the campaign manager.

A movie you’ve seen more than 7x, using only a gif

"During the devastating global covid-19 pandemic, one nation stood out: the United States saw 'eye wateringly high' death rates compared with its peer nations. The 1.16 million Americans killed by covid-19 represent 16% of global deaths in a nation with 4% of the world’s population. One in three Americans knows someone who died from covid-19, about 300 000 children are estimated to have lost one or both parents, and there is a substantial burden of long covid.. The US series documents the many complex, inter-related causes of the poor US pandemic response, underpinned by two key contexts. The first is the nation’s pre-existing structural and systemic features, which magnified the pandemic’s impact. These include gaps in healthcare and public health systems, the absence of social safety nets and workplace protections, social inequality, and systemic racism.. Ingrained inequalities contributed to devastating pandemic outcomes. The US has greater income inequality and more limited worker protections than its peers and precarious employment was on the rise even before covid-19. These are key reasons why the nation saw higher covid-19 mortality rates than its more equal counterparts, and why pandemic death in the US was so closely patterned by social class. In addition, a history of pervasive structural racism manifested across many aspects of society, which, unsurprisingly, resulted in stark racial inequalities in the US in who lived and who died.. A second context is that while the US had many scientific resources, exemplified by the success of Operation Warp Speed in accelerating vaccine development and the Covid-19 Prevention Trials Network in mobilising critical research, government at many levels showed a surprising inability to generate reliable information, communicate it in a timely and consistent manner, and translate it into sound policy.. These failures began at the top." What courageous statements! 'Pandemic lessons for the 2024 US presidential election' bmj.com/content/384/bm…

@cd_hooks The preservatives and chemicals allowed in food in the US are banned in Europe. That could be a part of it.

AMERICAN WHO BECOMES MORE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE WHILE TRAVELING: hey, I think the donuts at home are tainted

@QueerlyAutistic Fun fact - I've recently learned that type of headlights are illegal for use in the EU. It's much easier to drive here at night.

As someone with both sensory sensitivity to light AND astigmatism, I would like to have a not-so-quiet word with whoever decided that all modern headlights were going to be this violently bright.

@RollingStone I want the FBI to investigate her insider trading 👀

Nancy Pelosi suggested that Russia may be funding pro-Palestinian protesters who have been interrupting Democratic campaign events, saying that some calling for a ceasefire are promoting “Putin’s message.” Watch: rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

@ninaturner I left the US after the election was stolen from you and Bernie and live in Europe now. I see a Tupac shirt almost every single day in small and large towns in every country I've visited. Can confirm his spirit lives on.

“They got money for war, but can’t feed the poor” RIP Tupac

@EwdatsGROSS Hot, steamy shower followed by a hot, salty bath

What’s a “treat yoself” activity or service you do to reward yourself after a particularly stressful work day/week/month? (Please no food or alcohol suggestions 🫶)

@MLS_Dave I resemble that remark 😢 - first time in early December. Preventative efforts have been redoubled. Disappointed but determined.

@GoodPoliticGuy Pretty sure that happened the last time around. They need a new playbook.

Dems: We will PROTECT democracy by ELIMINATING democracy in our own party and FORCING through a senile barely functioning human as our nominee who even a majority of our party doesn’t want

@cdtwriter I've heard it makes you more likely to take risks, so yeah

Friend just told me that a friend of hers just got over her 3rd covid infection. Her friend got on a plane to visit a friend in another country. I'm starting to believe that covid does something to people's judgment.

@RetroCrone I marked the outside of the cap with permanent marker to make it easier to decipher, though that did take reading it correctly, at least once. 🧐

Can everyone but me see the bars on inside of laundry soap bottle cap that tell you how much to put in? B/c I don’t have a clue.

@ThiaBallerina What did I do to wake up everyday in the bad place?

Newsom’s pick to replace Feinstein was a Clinton and Harris advisor, is against unions and lives in Maryland. Not surprised. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Stop thinking you need a relationship to be happy. Sometimes all you need is huge generational wealth.
