How did they get 80% fully vaccinated??? Oh right... vaccines haven’t become politically polarized in other countries.

He picks out 5 of the 52 items, another is "10% of US electricity is generated from old Russian nuclear warheads". But all 5 are gold.


At first, 5 seemed like a lot because of the sugar. But I looked it up real quick, and apparently German schnapps doesn't have added sugar and is ~80 proof. So now that's just a lot of alcohol.

3-4 week spacing was never a biologically relevant window of time for maximum benefit. It was always used simply to speed up the trials, Else we would have had to wait months longer to start vaccinating ppl. We can’t keep confusing authorizations with biological optimum https://t.co/IaM54C2mrGTo make things worse, schools aren't reducing the home quarantine requirements until the kid is 'fully vaccinated', so each week you delay the second dose is another week they may need to be kept at home if a classmate tests positive.



Cool! From the article: "It's likely a large boulder excavated by an ancient lunar impact."
I've been doing it all wrong, standing on the same side of the desk. Gotta start practicing pointing at a monitor I can't see before we get back to the office.

Chinese warships rearming and refitting opposite the U.S. East Coast is a five-alarm scenario for the Pentagon and White House. https://t.co/WArA5yJIh1 via @WSJ😂 It's in Africa? I'll admit, my guess was an Island in the North Atlantic when I read the headline.


Wow, I always understood that the balloon bombing never accomplished anything, but I didn't realize how close they got.
Next, I technically found this screenshot thread on Twitter, but it appears to have originated on Tumblr, and it’s hard to read via the Twitter embed, so I’ve pasted it in it’s full glory here:
Good to see innovation in the archeological culinary space.
