Do you believe that you have substantively replied to Arielle's critique, Stan, by repeating what she herself discloses about for whom she works?

There are so many #BrutalTruths in this @kiransidhu41.bsky.social interview of @clivebates.bsky.social about the future of nicotine and public health.

Where does Clive get it wrong, tho? He would love to get less wrong, I'm sure.

It is good to have primaries. I think we all agree on that.

As such!

When we have primaries, we need to stop getting upset that candidate A *dares* to challenge candidate B. That’s what primaries are for. Simply vote for your preferred candidate.

This is about Talarico/Crockett.

You likely have read this, but I was grateful that my father in law is such a military history buff that I read this on a long ago visit to him.

Tragic in many ways but so many important lessons (particularly "ignore the admiral and burn the coal!").

SJA tonight and the cadets were asked to come up with posters or social media content around their current topic of emergency planning (in this case weather warnings).

Pretty pleased with their efforts, tbh...

#DiscomfortOfThought required to #RethinkNicotine.

And there's plenty to be uncomfortable about.

But I do believe we all have to get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. I am grateful that @unbiasedscipod.bsky.social agrees on that point.

Well, you're the proper methodologist!!!

Do you think you've assessed an adequate sample? Based on what estimate for IMV?

Have you EVER had a honeydew you enjoy?

While I can accurately be called a propagandist for some commercial interests, I have no Big Melon disclosure.

My experience with this fruit is that it presents substantial inter-melon variability (IMV), perhaps the most for any fruit (asserting without evidence beyond my own experience!).

Bad honeydew is cardboard-adjacent, but good honeydew is dew-licious.
