Scientists at UC Riverside have demonstrated a new, RNA-based vaccine strategy that is effective against any strain of a virus and can be used safely even by babies or the immunocompromised.  Every year, researchers try to predict the four influenza strains that are most likely to be prevalent during the upcoming flu season. And every year, people line up to get their updated vaccine, hoping the researchers formulated the shot correctly. The same is true of COVID vaccines, which have been reformulated to target sub-variants of the most prevalent strains circulating in the U.S. This new strategy would eliminate the need to create all these different shots, because it targets a part of the viral genome that is common to all strains of a virus. The vaccine, how it works, and a demonstration of its efficacy in mice is described in a paper published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.  “What I want to emphasize about this vaccine strategy is that it is broad,” said UCR virologist and paper author Rong Hai. “It is broadly applicable to any number of viruses, broadly effective against any variant of a virus, and safe for a broad spectrum of people. This could be the universal vaccine that we have been looking for.”

MORN: (speaking for first time ever) Sisko...you crazy son of a bitch. You're the only one who can stop the bad guys now...tell quark im sorry i couldn't close my tab. (Jumps into the lava wall to sort of push the lava back while our heroes slowly climb up a melting ladder that the wide angle didn't show you so you weren't initially sure why the lava was a problem)

O'BRIEN: (directed to act completely unlike hes ever behaved in the entire history of the franchise) FUUUUUUCK!!! NOOOOOO! MORN!!!!! NO!!!!! NO!!!!! NO!

I have seen so many people spreading this post. This was debunked like IMMEDIATELY and yet I still see it circulating. People are having fun using it to clown on Macron which, yeah. Make fun of him all you want. But this is exactly what happened in 2016 too I swear to god.

I'm sorry what the fuck did you just say ??? This has to be fake.

So close to dry land…and yet

go to this random coordinates generator and say in the tags how you would fare if you were dropped where it generates without warning. i’ll go first i’d be dropped in the middle of the fucking south atlantic ocean and perish

Anti-voting rhetoric will be the death of the left. Literally.

Not a single fucking Republican voted to protect roe. It was fucking overturned in the first place bc trump got three Supreme Court appointments.

Every fucking thing wrong in this country is almost certainly the result of Republicans being in power. In 2020, Texas cut half of the polling places in black neighborhoods, and doubled them in white ones, regardless of population. It was Republicans bitching about mail in voting, and constantly, constantly fearmonger about voter fraud. Literally, their platform is about making civil rights harder to practice.

Would you like to know why? It’s because Republican politicians know better than anyone that higher voter participation means higher republican loss.

But what do I see from the online left, champions of the oppressed?

“Voting doesn’t do anything, the parties are the same, the system is rigged, etc, etc”

Don’t sit here and tell me you give a fuck about marginalized people if you aren’t ready to march your ass to the voting booth and vote out the party actively stripping their rights away.

Protest, donate, community build, unionize, and vote, vote, vote.

By the time direct action is the only option, it will be too fucking late.

#thinking that voting is bad is such a luxury belief #don’t pretend to care about social causes if you can’t even be bothered to fill out a sheet of paper about it #VOTE

It’s such a crazy story honestly. I hope Bob Iger is crying and pulling his hair out over how bad Disney fumbled this project and screwed over the hundreds of artists who made it possible.

Be Nimona:

>Originally made as a subversion of the usual fantasy stories and superheroes in comics with a bloodthirsty MC, an implied Homosexual relationship between a Villain and a Hero, and a relatively dark story and ending

>Get Picked up and get animated by Blue Sky Studio(Ice Age, Rio, Spies in Disguise etc etc)

>Gets finished 90% of the way

>Disney buys Blue Sky, dismantles it and throws said 90% of progress to the void archives that is Disney's unfinished projects

>Gets picked up by Netflix

>Netflix allows the story to not only stay consistent with the comic but doubles down on the "controversial" parts of it(Homosexuality is now prevalent, lots of murder-y things and gore)

> Is released as a KIDS MOVIE

>Gets released in the same time frame as Disney's 100 Year celebration

>Gets nominated for an Oscar

>BEATS disney's own movie for the time frame

>Gets released FOR FREE in youtube for everyone to see what Disney ditched

I desperately need a supercut of every time in DS9 when someone asks Sisko if they could borrow a runabout, like a teenager asking for the car keys. Dad, I need to break a political prisoner out of a labor camp. Dad, I need to give my spy boyfriend a lift to Bajor for unspecified reasons. Da- I mean Captain- I, Gul Dukat, need you to drive me to the demilitarized zone...please.
