Wait, that’s a cardinal, am I reading pope vibes in this meme?

I better take a nap.

Thank Dog, you’ve finally admitted it.

Yes, hello, Thank Dog!

Stör!!

Do you mean silent as in ilent?

I mean this is a shitpost community after all. Best to ya!

Have you considered playing a ‘reversal’ and taking the US over? We really need some help down here.

I much prefer to manipulate searches, and cherry pick results to fit my warped sense of humor, thanks.

Nary a schwimmflügel in those results at all. I rest my case.

Parents can be mysterious, that way.

Dammit! These are schwimmflügel, there IS a proper English term. Use It!

Edit: Thanks @dan@upvote.au I realized a left out a diacritic mark.

There’s some detail towards the beginning of this epitope (they like to say epitope rather than episode because they are nerdy virology folks, gotta love 'em) of TWIV #1215 What’s the worst that could happen?: https://www.microbe.tv/twiv/twiv-1215/ I can’t find a transcript, or I would point you to the specific quotes. I listen to most of this podcast since 2020,

This article (https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/08/health/harvard-biodata-trump-cuts-wellness) details some of the losses, of tissue samples used in long term research, such as The Nurses Health study (https://nurseshealthstudy.org/)

This article https://www.wired.com/story/cdc-job-cuts-niosh-human-samples/ - goes into some detail as well:

“NIOSH’s frozen tissues include commercially produced immortalized cell lines—cells that can proliferate indefinitely and enable small tissue samples to grow into larger ones that can more easily be experimented on.” - These cell lines allow experimentation on animal cells, instead of using live animals. Which is beneficial for reducing cruelty to animals, as well as in decreasing costs, and increasing the shear volume of research that can be done.

There is a huge expense / loss engendered by such rapid closure of labs, in terms of lost equipment, lost cell lines from literally cutting power to the freezers and other equipment so the cell lines defrost and rot.

That’s the best I can do for you at this time. You might want to look up topics like Primary Cell Line, Immortalized Cell Line.

I know, right?!? But the stupidity seems so be working far too well at the moment. So I don’t think it’s useful to listen to what they say, except in that so much of the time every accusation is a confession. I’m so glad trump didn’t just stfu, and so Canada and Australia (who has their own billionaire who won’t stfu) are in much better positions as a result. It is my sincere hope that their hubris will be their downfall. And dang if the whole catholic world didn’t just ‘come out’ as being a little more sane, a little less fascist.

I’m thinking the whole world is needing a little boost in the collective Aloha Spirit coefficient, right about now.

Never underestimate the skill, finess, and power of Furry Hackers.

Never listen to the reason they claim to be doing something, look only to what they are doing. And that, quite clearly, day after day indicates that they are doing everything they can to destroy the USA, as quickly as possible. Once one has determined what they are doing, then ask who does this benefit.

Brilliant suggestion.

Mayor and City Counsel are heroes, is what I read from that.
