Taliban has banned women from seeing male doctors AND banned women from seeking medical education to become doctors. This is a sure fire way to kill women. It’s beyond barbaric.
Moreover, Prophet Muhammad (sa) declared education incumbent upon women AND declared medical knowledge as the most worthwhile knowledge. Taliban extremists ignore that entirely—because they fear truth, justice, and empowered women.
Taliban are enemies of all humanity.

"Thinking about all the recent layoffs in tech, media, etc., and how so many of the "Nobody wants to work anymore!"/"Where'd the go-getters go?!"/"The rise of 'quiet quitting'" type articles in the past year or so overlooked the effect that the "hey, maybe we'll just lay a bunch of people off because we want to make a little extra cash" culture the business world has fostered might have on, well, everything involving worker morale/sense of loyalty/etc."

Sajid Javid calls for patients to pay for GP and A&E visits
Of course he does - it’s been the Tory end game all along. At least now they’ve dropped the pretense. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/jan/20/sajid-javid-calls-for-patients-to-pay-for-gp-and-ae-visits

Carnivorous oyster mushrooms can kill roundworms with “nerve gas in a lollipop”
"The mushrooms have evolved a novel mechanism for paralyzing and killing its nematode prey: a toxin contained within lollipop-like structures called toxocysts that, when emitted, causes widespread cell death in roundworms within minutes. Scientists have now identified the specific volatile organic compound responsible for this effect"

An inspiration to countless girls, Dr. Kalpana Chawla was the first woman of Indian descent to go to space, a pilot, and an aerospace engineer. Chawla is pictured here on STS-107 in January 2003, two weeks before she and her crewmates perished during re-entry. #NASARemembers

@SecularJeffrey I still think the "Radium Condoms" aremy favourite part of the Radium Craze. "Baby, you're makin' me HOT!" "No, darling, that's the condom reaching critical mass!"
I think we need something similar to what @auschwitzmuseum are doing. So in the context of black history, A daily post of this day in Black history. So yes can cover events, such as the Tulsa Massacre, but could also cover the birthdays of important people but also events such as those involving the black women who worked at NASA and were fundamental to the space program (Amy Johnson et al).
I am from the Uk, and would find this useful, we don't celebrate MLK here like you do in the states so having the MLK day reminder was useful too.
@bleakfuture Good grief it is getting worse.
@CarolynStearns Yeaj snakes are good at camoflage too, i am sure some look like rope coils for that reason.
I remember watching a documentary on presstv (it was mentioned on fedi years ago) this is the Iranian spider tailed viper. Any animal or bird thinking the end of the snake was a tasty spider was in for a shock should they try and eat.

Just be yourself, follow and engage with people of a similar interest, there a re a good few people on here interested in Astronomy and a great number with PhDs too, I am in to astronomy and science so happy to connect on that,
I like the fact that on here, someone can post what is going on at a conference, I can comment and from that have people like my comment, this is a conference for people like yourself in to Astronomy at a very high level.
I think it may have been to do with exoplanet atmospheres.
We are all welcome regardless of our level of understanding or experience.
Hence in the Beatles' Taxman they say
That's one for you 19 for me
and later on
And my advice for those who die, declare the pennies on your eyes
The first part was in relation to the UK tax policies in the 60's the latter is perhaps more of a reference to greek mythology, the pennies placed on the eyes of the dead was so they could pay Charon to take them over the river styx to the underworld.
But also takes a dig at the taxman as that would be income.

I'm older so I remember things. Everything you see happening today should be understood this way:
The top tax rate used to be 90% in order to prevent the really rich from destroying democracy.
The corporate tax rate was 50% because corporations exist to serve society.
AND the inheritance tax was really high to keep family dynasties from gaining power over us.

This is too funny 😆
Before Twitter was acquired by Elon Musk, they were suing Elon Musk for reneging on the acquisition agreement.
For their efforts, they hired experts to help them along.
But now that Elon Musk has acquired Twitter, Twitter isn't paying them 🙃
What does Twitter allegedly owe them? $2.19 million.
So now they're suing Twitter 🤣
