All these people staring in wonder…have they not seen an ice cream drone before? Sad.

This is pretty cool, a new schizophrenia drug from AI development.
Now he just needs to find people crazy enough to try it. 8|
This vial contains a new drug called PAC-3310. It was designed by ChatGPT, and I synthesized it in a chemistry lab I built in my garage.
PAC-3310 is a new selective M4 muscarinic receptor agonist for treating schizophrenia - similar to the recent breakthrough drug Cobenfry, but improved. (1/7)

Why did Liam’s parents put him in this precarious position?
ICE bad? Parents worse, in this case.
My son is about to start kindergarten and I literally cannot imagine how I would feel or what I would do if masked agents hauled him off to a detention center with no explanation and no way of knowing when he'd get out.
What our government keeps doing in our name is monstrous.

I went to a regular public state medical school, but we never had this happen.
New HMS medical students don’t have to wonder what their exorbitant student loans are paying for. They can rest assured that their lab fees are paying for settlements.
🚨 Harvard will pay $53 million after its longtime morgue manager stole donated corpses and sold their body parts on the black market.
Cedric Lodge stole heads, faces, brains, skin and hands from bodies donated to Harvard Medical School. In one horrifying case, human skin was reportedly tanned into leather and bound into a book.
Lodge was sentenced to eight years in prison, while his wife received just over a year for helping him. The families accused Harvard of negligence and failing to protect their loved ones’ remains. A judge has now preliminarily approved the massive settlement.

If the writer and artist for a comic book character being of Jewish background is a disqualifier for this person to have interest in the comic book character, I can save them A LOT of time.
forced into watching spiderman: into the spider-verse
first 5mins:
>black teen protagonist, speaks spanish (puerto-rican mom)
>bonds with his felon uncle by spraying graffiti on a building
>chip on his shoulder for being at a school he didn’t deserve to go to via winning a “lottery”
>love interest is a blonde white classmate (he makes an unwanted advance on her then physically assaults her)
immediately turned it off and went to wikipedia

This is the day.
Fauci before Congress.
Conflict, concern and discord in the air.
The times are calling the man forth.

Supercell thunderstorms are amazing on the horizon. They extend so far up in the air (powerful ones can reach 50,000’ or more) that if your view of the horizon is unobstructed and the day is otherwise clear you can see them more than 100 miles away. Which, to be honest, is kind of where you would prefer they stay.
This one is relatively small, and 20 miles or so away as the radar flies. It does have a way of putting things in perspective, as nature often does.

Classic Rock radio station has now played a third Def Leppard song in a row and
a) bangers,
b) “three in a row” is a radio thing sometimes,
c) in the back of my head there is a nonzero chance that one of the band members had died.

In the category of Things You Didn’t Know You Needed, a 1990 BBC documentary that follows George Mallory-obsessed actor Brian Blessed (Flash Gordon, famous shouter) recreating the 1924 Mallory expedition 25,000 feet up the north face of Mount Everest.
There are no eccentric obsessives like British eccentric obsessives.

Yes, he really did climb 25,000 feet up the North route of Everest.
He went back, attempting the South route in 1993 making it as far as the South Col. He tried the north route again at age 57 in 1996, but got no further than he did on his first attempt. He had previously climbed the tallest mountains in South America (Aconcagua) and Africa (Kilimanjaro).
My hat is off. I’m not sure I could make it to Everest Base Camp.

Interesting cultural moment, huh?
@FreddyLA7 guy and his buddies are checking off bucket-list items for other people left and right. Saints practice facility, meeting JJ Watt, personal tour of JSC by an astronaut, getting backstage passes and meeting a rising music star.
I don’t care how great your European trip was that summer in college. Freddy & the boys have won the Greatest Road Trip Of All Time award. Retire his license plate number. Hang a jersey in whatever rental car company HQ he has used.
I wonder how this is being reported in Germany. As generous as Americans are, this is…exceptional.
And how do you top this? How do you go back to being Friedrich from Düsseldorf or wherever? Short of the ship from ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ taking him aboard for a tour of the universe, where do you go from here?
Kind of makes you wonder if there is a Post-Beneficence Stress Disorder? He has got to be dealing with major imposter syndrome.
One really cool thing happening is an upside surprise.
After the fourth lifetime peak VIP experience in a week you cannot help but wonder “Um…why me?”
My expectation is that he will be told, everywhere and by every one:
Thank you for reminding who we are.
Thank you for enjoying the things we enjoy, for seeing things as they are and being honest about how you feel.
We have a national birthday coming up and we weren’t all that excited about it because we are divided and mischaracterized as badly in our own country as we are abroad.
Thank you for being a mirror to show us things that unite us. They may be goofy and overdone, but that’s pretty much who we are…and through your eyes, something we can take pride in.
Freddy is probably a very cool dude if you meet him, but really, this “historical winning streak” is a lot about us and how we want to see ourselves. I am happy for him. And us.

What if aliens have been among us for years and all they wanted from Earth was 10mm socket heads?
It would explain a few things.

The one resource US healthcare is oriented to save is time.
Another midwit healthcare take.
Other countries have better life expectancy than the US. That is not the same as better healthcare outcomes.
Life expectancy is primarily affected by things that kill the young. In the US, that is violent crime, car accients, overdose, and suicide. You can argue that healthcare might be able to influence the last two, but only minimally. Those things are driven by lifestyle choices. Add in our obesity rate, which is also only marginally mitigated by proper healthcare, and you see why our life expectancy is lower than the rest of the OECD.
We are fat, violent, depressed, and like driving on freeways.
Now, if you acutally get sick, there's nowhere else you'd rather be. We have some of the best outcomes in cancer, stroke, heart attack, and trauma. The wealthy from around the globe travel to our hospitals for care. There are entire wings at some prominent hospitals for ultra rich international patients. They aren't going to the NHS for their care.
We excel at coverage for actue care. 98% of Americans are within 90 mintues of a cardiologist who can open up the arteries in your heart in the middle of a heart attack. Meanwhile, in canada, that number is around 80%. They have 10x worse access to acute coronary care than the US.
If you're going to have a heart attack, you want to have it in the US.
If you're going to have any health issue requiring high specialty care, you want to be in the US.
