There once was an adviser named Miller
Who thought of himself as a killer
But when they opened him up
he was meek as a pup
With mostly just nasty rag filler

And tell sad stories of the death of kings:
How some have been deposβd, some slain in war,
Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed,
Some poisoned by their wives, some sleeping killβd,
Lots of honking.

And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?" "Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."
I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

Among the many errors this administration has made: 2019 was not the Biden administration. The VP tweets without first checking for obvious errors. If they make the easy ones, they're making the more subtle, less obvious ones too.
