Lenacapavir did so well at preventing HIV infection that it hit the threshold where the only ethical thing to do was stop the randomized trial and immediately offer it to literally every participant. That's huge news. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Apropos of everyone mourning the CWā€¦ I know SPN and TVD get most of the love from the gen pop but the first few seasons of The Flash are a perfect traditional superhero show, Legends of Tomorrow is a joy forever, and The Originals had some of the best writing Iā€™ve seen on network TV *period*.

Iran is the country which has arguably suffered the second most in the Middle East as a result of Trump's presidency and they also just elected a genuine reformist for the first time since 2005 who, while still upholding the Axis of Resistance schtick, is more open than most to detente with DC.

Good reporting on an entirely predictable problem. Fun fact: Airbnb also covers up thousands of sexual assaults every year! Its internal safety team has "cool-down rooms" to take a break from the trauma of what they hear. It's a bad company, a bad industry, and people should just stay in hotels.

Not to mention, the success of Trump & other Christofascist wingnuts has emboldened an entirely new generation of unapologetic bigots who're charging their way up the ladders of local politics. Saying "both parties are the same" is telling fascists they won & their victims that they don't matter.

let this serve as my occasional reminder that even if you think the NYT is consistently outstanding, subscribing to the times to "support journalism" is like giving Harvard thirty bucks to "support education." They don't need your money. Small outlets & independent journalists do.
