That will only work until June.

The promised age of information has quickly devolved into the age of misinformation. Holocaust denial? Vaccine misinformation? Anti-mask propaganda? These things can and do cause r…

It it strange phrasing to be sure. I interpreted it as sooner from birth (at younger ages).

What could any explorers in the history of mankind do when they got to an unpopulated island or continent? Spread, inhabit, and help ensure the survival of their species. Whether o…

This is only true for Children under 10. Children over 10 transmit contract and transmit at similar rates. Considering 11 is when puberty kicks in for many kids, this appears to su…

Except that is all the evidence we have to go on for this conversation. Verified fake tweets have been sent from prominent democrats, and not from any prominent republicans. Of cou…
