You. Do. Not. Try. To. Prove. Your. Hypothesis.

That is completely backwards.

The proper way to do science is to form a hypothesis, and then do everything you can to try and tear that hypothesis apart.

Any other way is scientifically unsound at the least, and malpractice or outright lies at worst

Tricia McLaughlin • @TriciaOhio X.com This morning, during routine patrolling in Broadview, in the same area of Chicago that law enforcement were assaulted yesterday, our brave law enforcement officers were rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars. Agents were unable to move their vehicles and exited the car. One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon. Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed US citizen who drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds. The armed woman was named in a @CBP intelligence bulletin last week for doxing agents and posting online 'Hey to all my gang let's fuck those mother fuckers up, don't let them take anyone.'

Thankfully, no law enforcement officers were seriously injured in this attack. Pritzker's Chicago Police Department is leaving the shooting scene and refuses to assist us in securing the area. There is a growing crowd and we are deploying special operations to control the scene. This is an evolving situation and we will give more information as soon as it becomes available. 1:19 PM • 10/4/25 • 52K Views

WHOA: DHS says that their officers were “rammed and blocked in” in Chicago and got out of their cars and shot an U.S. citizen who reportedly also had a gun and who had been tracking ICE raids. They are blaming the shooting on her, and say they were already tracking her socials. More details to come.

Tweet from the VP: Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most. Yet she oozes with contempt. My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much happier person if you showed a little gratitude

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

Poll: Agreement that political violence may be necessary to right the country grows On hot button issues, a majority say children should be vaccinated; controlling gun violence is more important than gun rights; and Epstein files should be released, in a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll.

This is the point of the new EO: it is to make people think twice before they provide their honest evaluation of the Trump regime. You called them fascist? Well, you must be antifa. You call them authoritarian? You are inciting terrorism.

When we build the greatest stereotype engine the world has ever seen we should not be surprised when it reproduces bias

Keep rollin’

Nobody who’s spent a week in Illinois winter has thought “yes, I willingly want to fuck with the people who live here”

Here’s last night’s story about Donald Trump’s war on higher education, and what a young Stephen Miller looked like. Brace yourself. youtu.be/xk94il8L820

Antoni made the remarks about intelligence in a discussion with summer interns at Heritage in 2024. He said that women’s IQs generally clustered around average scores, while men’s IQs varied more between “geniuses” and low-intelligence individuals, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution. Shortly afterward, Roger Severino, Heritage’s vice president of domestic policy, spoke with the interns and said Antoni should not have shared that viewpoint, one of the people said. Severino told the interns that Heritage had no official position on the question of gender IQ differences, the person told The Post.

Imagine at your summer internship a guy gives a talk about how women generally have lower IQ. It's awkward enough that a senior administrator later explains that the talk was inappropriate.
Now, imagine reading that the President has nominated this person to lead a major govt agency!

Firefighters, famously, have a house they all live in, where they wait for people to call them, actually.

Love seeing the #WhiteSneakers being packed for #ASBMR2025, keep them coming! Wear them at the meeting on Saturday 06 Sept to Take Steps to Improve Bone Health. Even if you can't join us in Seattle, post a pic with your favorite pair and join the MOVEment! @asbmr.bsky.social 🦴💪🚶‍♀️🚶

Science is a long game.

Translational science, or clinical medicine is only possibly because of basic science discoveries where the clinical applications are not yet known.

Also: Nobels are typically awarded for basic science… *exploratory* basic science.

True story.

"I will give ICE agencies one thing; the way they seem to view themselves is sadly increasingly spot on. And that is violent, cruel, and hiding behind a fucking mask." - @lastweektonight.com

Operation Box Wine is a go

This week’s main story is about the Trump administration’s promise to deport one million immigrants, what follow through on that promise looks like in practice, and – to lighten the mood – which animal always looks like it was just caught cheating on its wife. Ok fine: The tarsier.

Federal records contradict what FEMA leader told Congress about Texas flood response Funding for FEMA's disaster survivor hotline lapsed the day after the Texas floods, federal records show. It took DHS Secretary Kristi Noem five days to approve more money.

In preparation of today's mark-up of the NIH appropriations bill in the Senate and other activities, I sent this note to Senator Susan Collins' office.
