Rebecca WatsonPorch pirates stole my medication so now I have to convince my insurance to give me more. In the spirit of the season, and I say this from the depths of my heart, I truly hope the thief has moderate to severe depression that gradually improves after 4 to 6 weeks of daily usage

Sheril KirshenbaumBorn in 1917, Egyptian physicist Sameera Moussa studied radioactive isotopes used to create medical images. Her work “laid the groundwork for a revolution in the affordability & safety of nuclear medicine.”
Concerned about the potential use of nuclear weapons during WWII, Moussa organized the Atomic Energy for Peace conference.
She was likely assassinated at age 35 in a case that remains unsolved. https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/04/the-strange-tragic-story-of-egypts-foremost-female-nuclear-scientist/ #science #history

🏳️🌈🖖🏽Donald Trump just doesn't know how to let sleeping dogs lie. As he continues to expound on his 2024 campaign promises (that nobody asked for), one adversary keeps coming up: Barack Obama. He can't seem to stop mentioning him at every turn, including mixing up Biden and Obama's names when discussing the current sitting President. Is he just confused, or does this point to something more sinister? That's what we're discussing today at The Big Picture. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-biden-obama-obamacare-repeal

They are just making an industry leading art application that you can have for free - OR if you choose pay a little bit for!

Auschwitz MemorialWe would be greatful if you could amplify our voice & let your followers know that the Auschwitz Memorial is present in #fediverse: @auschwitzmuseum
Every day we commemorate the victims & educate about the tragic human history of #Auschwitz.
Auschwitz is a place that shows where hatred, antisemitism and contempt for a fellow man led people decades ago.
It is also a place where we should reflect on our individual and collective responsibility for the world we live in.
