We just paid $140 for my wife’s COVID booster. No wonder uptake is so low this time.

A woman. An immigrant. A scientist.
A Nobel Prize winner. And thanks to her pioneering research, a #COVID19 vaccine.

The story of mRNA began is a tale of personal perseverance, eureka moments in the lab, soaring expectations — and an unprecedented flow of cash in biotech.

I’m sorry but generative AI is a revolution in shitposting. #DallE #ChatGPT #TidePods #Cooking
To be clear, Texas is the kicker. It’s a 50/50 crapshoot on, when we get these reactions, whether it’s when they find out we’re from the USA or when they find out we’re from Texas.
In every country we’ve been to, as soon as a local finds out we’re from Texas, they either ask us whether or not everyone has guns or they make the “pew pew” sound while shooting off the imaginary finger gun. Nobody exclaims “oh, COVID vaccine!” or “oh, Internet!” I didn’t contribute to any of the three, but it’s quite the indictment of our culture that people in other countries basically think that the average American is a gun-toting, hip-shooting idiot.

#Science isn’t “facts.” It isn’t “truth.”

It’s a dynamic process in which we’re always testing hypotheses & learning more about our world.

Republican Shit Show 💩

White Supremacist Steve Scalise named the Republican nominee to become the next Speaker of the House, but he DOESN'T have the 217 votes to win the position!

Republicans making a mockery of democracy as US unable to pass legislation due to Republican's OWN stalemate!

I’m seeing a lot of people share conspiracies about how the government is going to activate some vaccine virus using 5G technology today. If you are posting this nonsense, please stop and seek help. You are deep in some weird, dark place, and you don’t even know it. (Also, it’s not the U.S. government, it’s the Romulans, and it’s not 5G, it’s transporter technology. Please get your conspiracies straight.)

amazing chart!

"Poverty rates for Black, Latino, and Native American children are staggeringly high compared to child poverty rates in other rich democracies as well as Asian American and white children in the United States. By contrast, white and Asian American children exhibit poverty rates similar to children in most other rich democracies."

In Vietnam, if you need to join a WiFi network, chances seem to be pretty good that the password is 012345678 or 123456789. Future hackers can thank me for this piece of intel.
