What I believe will be the BEST NEWS: the first very cheap, highly replicable saliva test is about to be approved by the U.S. FDA. It costs $2-3 per sample! It uses interchangeable reagents for scale It new capacity More on this soon Kudos Yale School of Medicine NBA Robby Sikka

BREAKING: Great news. SalivaDirect received approval this morning from the U.S. FDA. This could be one the first major game changers in fighting the pandemic. Rarely am I this enthusiastic. Here’s why. Follow if interested.

I took “Persuasion and Public Opinion” College of Communication, Boston University and I have referenced that material almost weekly for the last 20 years. Strong agree.

I just sat down to work at a desk with a real chair for the first time in 8 months and oh my god what the fuck have I been doing.

Don’t want to get too political here ... but he has a point. #SaucyNugs #KeepLNKWeird

Close your eyes. Now imagine stepping backwards, blindly, trustingly, placing all your combined body weight concentrated on top of the spines on this weapon of war. Breathe out. instagram.com/p/CEts9KNAGDb/…

How do I get off this ride?

Reeeeeally not regretting the decision not to go diving for scallops out in Madaket today.

Just watched “Greenland” movie (was good). Plot: comet going to hit earth, govt covers up, trys to save some people, every man for themselves. 12 months ago, this is just another impossible disaster movie fantasy. Today...I’m like...”Checks out. This is possible, likely even”.

As COVID19 surges across the US, it’s hard to describe the situation inside hospitals for healthcare providers & patients. We made this video depicting 1 day in the ER to show the painful reality & to remind us why we must remain vigilant. Please watch.

4 year old just BURST into the room to tell us he discovered “THE PERFECT SNACK!!!” he wanted his mom to make him. And then described a fucking $60 charcuterie board. Kids got taste, but Jesus take a log off the fire and eat a frozen waffle like the rest of us.

The effects of PFAS chemicals on firefighters is real. My friend and Nantucket fire fighter Nate talks about his experience. Need to get this crap out of their gear. Mark Ruffalo youtu.be/s4lGGMdF8Ds

Alarming. What is going on in the skies over Boston? WCVB-TV Boston

Most people are surprised that N95/KN95/KF94 can be used more than 8 hrs. Actually the N95 spec requires that these masks maintain >95% after 200mg of loading. How much is 200mg, same as wearing the mask 24/7 in Shanghai for about 200 DAYS! Straps will be the first thing to fail

Yeah ok, I think I’m at the part of the apocalypse where I’d like the new Father John Misty album now.

This New Years Eve all the sudden has serious Children of Men vibes.

This rollercoaster that parents under 5 (including me) are forced to ride is an absolute, unacceptable disaster. Pfizer and the FDA need to get it together so the public knows what the f is going on (and why) so we can continue to be confident in this process.
