While prescribed burns are a critical tool in wildfire prevention, warming climate conditions are restricting the window of time in which they can be safely deployed, a new study has found. Kindled by highly trained firefighters, these controlled blazes help clear away excess dry plant matter that could otherwise catalyze what the study authors described as “a raging inferno.” Such fires can only occur safely when the weather is not so damp as to prevent combustion, but also not so dry or windy that more vegetation would burn than planned, the authors noted. But climate change is now reducing the...

A Schrodinger's douchebag is someone who says offensive statements and proclaims whether or not they were joking based on other people's reactions. A new politician has given the old-fashioned Republican Party (GOP) a brown face, but when you strip away his Obama-esque charisma, all you're left with is a controversial figure who stirs culture wars. Vivek Ramaswamy picks and chooses his identity, affiliations and views based on his audience. Vivek Ramaswamy is not Donald Trump. He is not brash, his face is not comical and he acts professionally. While Trump comes from extreme wealth and inherited a fortune, Ramaswamy falsely...

Researchers from Pritzker Molecular Engineering, under the guidance of Prof. Jeffrey Hubbell, demonstrated that their compound can eliminate the autoimmune response linked to multiple sclerosis. Researchers at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) have developed a novel vaccine that, in laboratory tests, can completely reverse autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, and Crohn’s disease — all without shutting down the rest of the immune system. A typical vaccine teaches the human immune system to recognize a virus or bacteria as an enemy that should be attacked. The new “inverse vaccine” does just the opposite:...

Sometimes you almost have to admire (not really, but work with us here) how the fascist far left has turned the gutter-level immorality of outright dishonesty into an art form with many facets and subtleties. After all, this is a survival mechanism for them, because no one in his right mind would support people who care only about controlling others. Like how the chameleon can change colors or the skunk sprays a noxious substance when threatened, leftists lie because that's the only way they can survive in the face of people who want to be free.
