COMPARISON:

LONGEVITY UPDATE: Common nasal spray ingredient emerges in Massachusetts lab work on aging pathways. “A common nasal spray ingredient has turned up in an unexpected corner of aging research. Early lab work suggests oxymetazoline — best known as the active ingredient in Afrin — may influence one biological process associated with aging. . . . One of the compounds that drew attention was oxymetazoline, which appeared to influence intercellular communication — the signaling system cells use to send and receive messages throughout the body. Aging can disrupt those signals, contributing to issues such as weaker immune responses and muscle and bone loss. Oxymetazoline is also found in some Sinex nasal sprays, as well as certain eye drops and creams used for redness, the outlet reported. Still, a promising lab result is a long way from a real anti-aging treatment.”

JAMIE RASKIN HATES TRUMP MORE THAN HE HATES ANTISEMITISM. “Can anyone take this joker seriously? . . . Raskin and his whistleblowers have a logical problem. They want to acknowledge the sudden rise in antisemitism—not to do so would lose them public support—but they can’t bear to acknowledge that Donald Trump was doing something about it. So they tie themselves into knots, claiming that the administration went after Columbia, Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania, and other institutions not because of the flagrant (‘systemic’?) antisemitism but because Trump doesn’t like free speech/education/the ivy league/whatever.”

THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST:

THE 21ST CENTURY IS A BAD ONE FOR ACADEMIA, AND IT’S GOING TO GET WORSE: Nuke Academia From Orbit. It Is the Only Way to Be Sure. “Our prestigious institutions are fundamentally corrupted, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the dominant ideology has become race Marxism in the guise of DEI. They no longer have any allegiance to the truth, facts, or rational discourse. They are fundamentally hostile to the values that gave rise to them.”

OPEN THREAD: Party on, and be excellent to one another.
