We wanted to understand what’s happening with the Strait of Hormuz. So we talked to five raw milk drinkers at an emergency room in Idaho.

Let's be clear. Eli Lilly should apologize for increasing the price of insulin by over 1,200% since 1996 to $275 while it costs less than $10 to manufacture. The inventors of insulin sold their patents in 1923 for $1 to save lives, not to make Eli Lilly's CEO obscenely rich.

Designers want a seat at the table or at least to be heard but first we gotta stop making things more difficult and stop thinking we know everything. It’s not that we’re not valued. We are. Most of us are just really really annoying.

I turn 45 next week. Been talking with close friends, middle aged dudes- modestly successful, community oriented, good dudes working jobs of responsibility in various systems Common denominator: all the systems are broken. Everyone knows it and is doing time to pay the mortgage

Are you “burned out” or are you having a reasonable reaction to a never-ending barrage of bad news which you can do very little about.

Tragically, millions of people in Ukraine now rely on air strike alerts to try get to safety. Working with the Ukrainian government, we're rolling out a rapid Air Raid Alerts system for all Android phones in Ukraine. blog.google/inside-google/co… 1/3

3/3 also we’re seeing lots of RSV even RSV-Covid co-infections. We’re in crisis mode and must do the following now: 1) mask mandates for schools, 2) vaccine mandates for schools, 12 and up, and 3) EUA for vaccines for school aged kids, 5-11. That’s the reality if you want school

There is no Australia variant. No Taiwan variant. No New Zealand variant. No Vietnam variant. No South Korea variant. These countries have not only served their own people well, they have done the world a service by not giving SARS-CoV-2 many opportunities to mutate.

An aspect of preventing this from reoccurring is those who enabled it cannot slide back into their cable pundit, Davos, Wall St, Aspen Institute circuit. The price for supporting an autocrat is you don’t get to opine on Section 230, or tax rates, or whatever. Go away forever.

One request-- If you work in COVID-19 critical care, please consider the following: We know, with certainty, that plasma *free 5-HT* is highly elevated. Always. We know, with certainty, that this is *causal* for pulmonary vasoconstriction, thrombosis. nitter.cf/__ice9/status/13384509…
"Serotonin is the most potent of the known pulmonary vasoconstrictor agents when it is introduced intravenously" "persistent and severe pulmonary hypertension" "induction of diminished peripheral arterial oxygen saturation" "precipitate [of] minute emboli" Read old papers.

Advocating for last-chance vital restrictions that will save lives, and being 'pro-lockdown', are not the same thing. Nobody wants the damaging effects of lockdowns, but when the government's public health response has been so poor, it is the only realistic thing left to do

For the gazillionth time: Climate change is not a religion. It is a science. Do I believe in it? No. I look at the data, and the data is clear: it's real, it's us, it's bad, and the time to fix it is NOW.
