By keeping the interview off CBS it's a shame that no one was able to see it.

Her smugness was the thing that amazed me - and her bizzare smiles as if she had just been elected homecoming queen. She is living in the MAGA bubble for sure. It will be nice when it is permanently broken.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

data plot showing the fraction of 20-year-olds who are expected to die before ages up to 65. 

At 2022 rates, the expected fraction of 20-yr-olds who will die before 65 is
*  7% in Sweden
*  8% in Spain
* 10% in France
* 17% in the US  	 	
 	
There are truly shocking levels in some states. More than one-fourth of 20-year-olds in West Virginia and Mississippi will not live to retirement age.

High young adult #mortality makes reaching old age less likely in the US than elsewhere. That's true in all states, but in WV and MS more than one-fourth of 20-year-olds are not expected live to retirement age.

It’s important to realize that the subtext of Trump freaking out at Kaitlan Collins when she asks him what he’d say to the Epstein survivors is that she may in practice be asking what he’d say to the *Trump* survivors, and they both know that. A well worded question

Don't count on it. Vance has no moral core, and he is in the pocket of Peter Thiel, who has a perverse idea of morality.

As we've been saying above, being uneducated or less educated doesn't make you a moron and being more educated is not the same as having basic emotional intelligence.

I only just got a chance to read this, and it enraged me. The links with the Epstein story are so clear - you don't even have to do much to connect the dots.

The history is only part of the issue. Even the US had some sensible gun laws just half a century ago, before guns became a huge business and polarisation wrecked any sense of reasonable compromise
