I love Tom Lehrer and will say something else about him later probably but I just wanted to point out that he outlived the original author of his New York Times obituary.

I'm not going to repost any of the insane antisemitic conspiracy bullshit that grok is spewing today, but it highlights how absolutely essentially is that we not let LLMs become a form of epistemic grounding for our society.

Schneider Shorts 4.07.2025 – Why should I care about this? Schneider Shorts 4.07.2025 – two fallen stars in Germany, a fallen star in Spain, more retractions for Egyptians and Saudis, and for a defamed scholar in Iraq, with an editor correcting his p…

Senator Murray Calls on White House to Reverse Reported Hiring of Anti-Vaxx Conspiracy Theorist Lyn Redwood to CDC - Senator Patty Murray ICYMI: Murray Calls for Kennedy to Reinstate Fired ACIP Members or Delay Meeting Until New Members Appropriately Vetted; Calls Out Elevation of Conspiracy Theorist like Redwood ICYMI: At HELP Hearing,...

We can't become numb to this lunacy. Republicans can't let anti-vaxxers like Lyn Redwood help OVERSEE vaccine safety.

She will spread even more dangerous lies about vaccines—and she’s going to get kids killed.

She doesn't belong anywhere near CDC. My full statement. ⬇️

A generation of infants are being born HIV+ today who should have been born HIV-free because one of the principal propagandists of AI bullshit in the world dismantled PEPFAR and USAID.

the whole thing is ridiculous because "autism" is a obviously just a vague & ever-expanding set of phenotypes, not a specific disease

big part of the problem though is that neuroscientists have enthusiastically labeled everything they work on as autism because that was the way to get more funding

Trump Draft Order Would Drastically Overhaul U.S. State Department (Gift Article) The draft executive order to be signed by President Trump would eliminate Africa operations and shut down bureaus working on democracy, human rights and refugee issues.

In case you were still unclear what “meritocracy” means now:

“The draft executive order calls for ending the foreign service exam for aspiring diplomats, and it lays out new criteria for hiring, including “alignment with the president’s foreign policy vision.”

Our administration will stand for two things: Fighting antisemitism and stopping the Soros-funded, Hollywood-controlling, migration-orchestrating, well-poisoning, global banking cabal of rootless cosmopolitans from destroying our Christian way of life.

really wish more people would grasp that nature is doing GOFROC at BSL-0 literally at every single moment

This letter is just freakishly incoherent and inappropriate. It’s what you would get if you put, like, Tim Pool or Ben Shapiro into a US Attorney’s chair, made them drink a quart of bourbon, and told them to get angry at something

Demanding "viewpoint diversity" in peer-reviewed medical science journals is literally just DEI for wrong people. Bad experiements and incorrect analyses shouldn't face discrimination, right?

He won’t enact tariffs
He won’t start a trade war
He won’t cause a sell off
***YOU ARE HERE TODAY***
He won’t ban shorting
He won’t delist ADRs
He won’t fire Powell
He won’t spark a banking crisis
He won’t do capital controls
He won’t close markets
He won’t default on Treasuries

Quite literally, Murkowski & 10-15 other Republicans across the two houses of Congress could end <all> of this immediately.

I'm beginning to think that America made a poor choice as to who should control the machinery of the federal government.

Trump and DOGE Are Planning Deregulation at a Massive Scale The White House will soon move to rapidly repeal or freeze rules that affect health, food, workplace safety, transportation and more.

“Many people don’t realize how high the American quality of life is because of the competent & stable enforcement of regulations, &if that goes away a lot of lives are at risk,” said Steve Cicala… “This affects airplane safety, baby formula safety, the safety of meat, vegetables and packaged foods…”

State Terror A brief guide for Americans

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps.
This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped"

Ah, now I'm getting "d0 YouR OWn ReSEarH"ed about election security.

OK.

This past week, the Chinese learned

1) exactly where Trump's pain points are;

2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches;

and

3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president.

Highly useful information.

if only someone at columbia had been a nerd in middle school they would have seen this coming

Worth noting that "taking US citizens to other countries without trial" is explicitly condemned in *the US Declaration of Independence*

It's easy to see how he went bankrupt so many times.
