I guarantee that she knows fuck all about the microbiome.

Fuck these idiots. Let's spend $650 billion on education and food for people instead of shitty autocomplete for technofascism.

We need a leader who actually understands what the problem is. We're not looking for you.

Everyone knows evangelicals have no morals. That's their whole brand.

We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

Stanford is a risk management law firm that happened to do medicine and research on the side. The system is operating as intended.

This is much deeper than Trump. Christofascists and technofascists have conspired to destroy the US. There is no coming back from this.

On the balance of knowledge - Nature Reviews Immunology Ruslan Medzhitov shares his thoughts on the balance between generating data and developing theories in immunology, with a focus on exploring the rules that govern complex systems.

Too much data, too little thinking.
A important essay from Ruslan Medzhitov on the importance of understanding data, not just generating it. A must read.

For too long, the only guiding principle of our nation has been profit, and that is leading to ruin.

The question of our time will be what and who is the economy for? It will mean making decisions on what our goals are as a nation, and how to use our economy to achieve them.

I'll be thinking of the trillions that child rapists stole from the US.

Of course. Evangelicals love child rapists and racists.

Pedophilia is already a core tenet of evangelical christianity.

I had intended to post something about this new Google DeepMind paper that appeared yesterday in Nature, but the press coverage has added to what there is to say. So this is a long 🧡

"If large language models can replicate academic writing, perhaps it was never as creative as once believed." Science is about understanding how the world works. LLMs literally understand fucking nothing. Statistically plausible sentences != science.

Is the White House now considered an adult-oriented business? Trump wears more makeup than any drag queen I've ever seen.

I get the distinct impression that you have never actually met an AI oligarch. Do you actually think they will use this technology to "save the planet"?

America’s new dietary guidelines ignore decades of scientific research An emphasis on fruit, vegetables, and whole foods is welcomeβ€”but it’s wrong to suggest steak and beef tallow should be prominent.

Good summary of lack of evidence and potential for harm of components of the recommended diet

A slap on the wrist isn’t regulation, especially for technology with the potential to wipe out millions of jobs. We need real rules for AI so its benefits are shared, not hoarded by a handful of billionaires.
