Fact: Jadzia and Garak should have been friends

Evidence: how funny would it have been if Jadzia had chosen garak to host Joran during her zhian'tara instead of ben (i mean ben, seriously??) and much like quark interrupted to whine about playing Audrid, garak’s popping in and out to offer technical recommendations on murder and chastise Joran for his real “amateur hour bullshit”

Hey, if you see the below post on your dash (it’s been reblogged to my feed like… 5 times by random people)…

It’s a fake news story being circulated on twitter that started on many politically far-right news outlets.

Although it’s absolutely true that wealthy people in America are willing to do abhorrent things due to how out of touch their privilege has rendered them, please, *please* be more critical of these types of articles. The thread above and the comment section is both chock full of dog whistles for antisemitic conspiracy theories and of a lack of a basis in the science that would justify why, as some of the accounts above have insinuated, people are using the blood of the young people who go missing each year in a ploy for eternal youth.

“First, Ambrosia LLC did not ‘back’ Partridge’s [the scientist who investigated the relationship between blood from younger specimens of mice and the improved health of older mice once subsequently injected] study in any way. Via email, Partridge told us her study was not funded or connected to the Thiel-backed startup. Second, the “results” the New York Post [a rightist tabloid] and the UK’s Sun [ALSO a rightist tabloid] story referenced with respect to Ambrosia were not taken from any actual published study, but from a talk the founder of Ambrosia gave at a TechCrunch conference in 2016. As such, it cannot be critically evaluated as scientific development at this time.The clinical trial run by Ambrosia LLC, which cost $8,000 to join, has been controversial in the scientific community for several reasons, most notably the fact that the study design lacked a control group. Arne Akbar, an immunologist at the University College London, argued to New Scientist in 2017 that ‘There is no telling what [results come] down to the placebo effect.’“

None of the affiliated outlets have the ethos of an outlet that would actually, like, care about the *very* real ways in which the working class, young and old, are exploited. Please don’t spread the conspiracies of trashy, rightist gossip sites that are hiding their rhetoric in the language used by activists.

You know it’s funny cause I just saw this and I had two thoughts a)eat the rich

And b) is this a blood libel dog whistle

Thank you op for your research
