Viruses do not compose a single phylum, among other issues.

RFK has announced that he is developing a vaccine against all viruses. Yes, every single one. The whole, uh, "phylum"
RFK Jr: “We're developing a universal vaccine at NIH which is a vaccine that addresses the entire phylum of viruses.” “It's a vaccine that mimics natural immunity and it is effective against any kind of mutation.” “We believe it's gonna be effective against not only coronaviruses but also flu.” “And it's gonna be a much safer and a much more effective vaccine.”

Regular reminder:
- Barnacles are crustaceans.
- Tunicates are chordates (same phylum as YOU).

My single best shot from dockfouling in Morro Bay, CA: a giant acorn barnacle (Balanus nubilus) with cirri extended, surrounded by a cluster of aptly named lightbulb tunicates (Clavelina huntsmani). B. nubilus is the world's largest barnacle species; this one is the size of an apple. 🦑🦀📸OlympusTG6
An underwater photograph of a giant acorn barnacle, perhaps the size of a small apple, open with its reddish segmented tentacle-like cirri are extended briefly to filter feed before being retracted. The barnacle is surrounded by dozens of curious looking tunicates (sea squirts) that are clearish white with a pair of orangish pink luminescent filament like organs - giving the species its name, the lightbulb tunicate, as it resembles a lightbulb. The water column is a greenish turquoise.

And a regular reminder that tunicates are chordates. These tulip things are in the same phylum as YOUUUUU 🧪

Years ago I was obsessed with these Antarctic "tulips"-eventually learned they were TUNICATES, Molgula pedunculata #tunicateTuesday Such crazy lookin' things! www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Hi. You may consider it a continuity error that the Clipclops has humanoid feet, but you have to remember that Orcs and Giants belong to the Baltad Phylum and Giant Horses belong to the Kargob Phylum, so whatever this horror is, it's some sort of hideous crossbreed. Lore intact.

I hope a follow up question was “could you define phylum?”

this gets at why i implore people to understand "disney adult" is shorthand for a richly diverse Kind of Guy, and someone in it for the wainscotting on the haunted mansion is basically a different species from the common disney adult. disney cruise people are basically a different phylum

the problem isn’t that Disney adults love theme parks (idk if that’s even an accurate statement)—it’s that they worship the Walt Disney corporation
toddmartens.bsky.social Todd Martens @toddmartens.bsky.social · May 12
Trigger warning: Disney adults. I generally try not to respond to the ‘discourse,’ but media/social media keeps obsessing over Disney adults and keeps getting everything wrong.

RFK claiming that he will develop a vaccine that addresses the whole “Phylum of viruses”

"The entire phylum of viruses" is a phrase that in a just world would get you immediately smited for hubris by Apollo or whoever.

GOP has their own sub-phylum with no spine which feeds on the feces of its queen and excretes pure deadly toxins.

Other worms refer to them as "worm trash".

Viruses don't have a phylum because they're not alive. A phylum is a subdivision of the Tree of Life.

Looking top down at an Entoprocta - an animal that has a phylum all of its own! It looks like there are 4 families in this phylum. I don’t know much about them but I like them!

My favorite fact about ctenophores is that they evolved their nervous system completely independently of other animals. They don't have serotonin or dopamine receptors at all and use L-glutamate as their main neurotransmitter

We should adopt “bad news for your phylum” as a devastating insult.
