Them: Studying the humanities is such a waste of time. Why is understanding history, religion and culture useful?
Me: Gestures wildly at what is going on in geopolitics.

FT: Talks between the United States and Iran in Pakistan have reached a stalemate over control of the Strait of Hormuz, two sources briefed on the negotiations say, with Iran insisting it retain authority over the waterway and rejecting joint control proposals

HERE YOU GO. That’s the reality.

A new mucosal vaccine approach in mice boosted broad lung immunity against a range of threats, from viruses to bacteria to allergens. It provided protection against SARS-CoV2 infection for at least 3 months.

Would be amazing to have a universal vaccine in humans 💉

It's not too late to get the HPV vaccine. It works best when given younger, but adults can still benefit, especially if there's any chance of new exposures

If the Iran war sends the Saudi Arabian economy into a recession, sources believe its government would have to pare down to its most basic functions, such as funneling money to Jared Kushner.

Scandal alert🚨 🚨 🚨

WLF—owned by Trump & Witkoff family members—entered into a HUGE deal with a SMALL company, Alt5 Sigma

That resulted in a payday to WLF of up to $500M--while Trump & Witkoff make related policy decisions

I genuinely struggle to imagine the minds of people who could live through the last year and a half and somehow still believe that liberal arts professors are the primary problem facing 2026 America - I struggle with that more than I do with imagining what it’s like to be an octopus.

We have the President's son-in-law, who is lifelong buddies with Bibi and on the payroll of the Saudis (who, to be fair, aren't getting their $$ worth).

We have Trump's developer buddy whose spawn is in the fake $$ business with Trump's spawn.

And JD, fresh off doing Putin's bidding.

The difference between Republicans and Democrats is that when Donald Trump is accused of raping underage girls, Republicans only make excuses for him. But when Eric Swalwell is accused of raping grown women, Democrats say, “If that proves to be true, there is NO excuse for that.”

Bill Nye speaks out against cuts to NASA.

“The proposed cuts would terminate 53 NASA Science missions, throwing away more than $13 billion in taxpayer investment and halting the development of nearly every future NASA Science mission" ... “an insult to our astronauts and entire NASA workforce.”

They don't want to be on the record as voting to support the war. So they avoid the vote taking altogether.

I sometimes forget when Barack Obama became president, Democrats had two Senate seats in West Virginia, Montana, Arkansas and North Dakota. They had a Senate seat in Nebraska, Iowa, Louisiana and South Dakota.

A reminder— for most of the trump-vance era: vast majority of stuff you’ve read about or heard about re: the administration’s mass detention & mass deportation regime? The stuff that appalls you? Gotta keep in mind almost all of it you didn’t see live-streamed. The horrors go on behind closed doors…

Scott does not understand NATO obligations. Nations defend one another against attacks. The US was never attacked by Iran. Therefore, there is no NATO obligation.

The one time Article 5 was invoked, it was to come to the aid of the US after the 9/11 attacks.

Sen. Glenn Ivey with House Democrats stood at the Capitol, demanding Mike Johnson to open a session to vote on the #IranWarPowersResolution.

Sen. Ivey said to the press : “It is Congress who can declare war ; not a self-serving president guided by Netanyahu.”
