No clue! Sorry!

my most parochial take is that a lot of national dysfunction and elite pathologies genuinely do primarily spring from roots in the SF Bay Area. like why do so many tech sector types have such insane opinions about the efficacy of the govt?

Deep down he knows better. But like all of them his brain has been melted from hanging around on X. Maybe he doesn't know better any longer. I suppose I don't really know.

Kinda gives away the game that you're just a bunch of mean pieces of shit. That's your ideology: being a mean piece of shit.

If you took the people who thought, for example, kids under 18 should not be able to get gender affirming care, I doubt maybe more than like 20% would have said they wanted the government to do something like this? Maybe I'm blind but like...just...this isn't scoring you any points. Purely spite.

I HATE all of these guys so much, but Vinay is the one I'm most certain actually knows better, so I detest him the most.

As Vinay transformed from a critical voice in medicine to whatever he is today, it was his amplification of Hoeg that made it clear we were no longer allies when it came to the importance of evidence. All benefit-of-the-doubt evaporated then. She is an ignorant crank and he is a terrible hypocrite.

Legitimately think this is an excellent strategy and would be fully in support of it by my school!

there are of course many examples of political constituencies that have in fact killed scores of children (en route to some other evil goal), but I can't offhand think of any historical examples of a political constituency organized for that specific purpose

It's just eugenics all the way down.

Anyway these people should not be trusted with anything, ever.

Yes, I'm sure only you and the people who agree with you are the ones who are ever right. Everyone else is an idiot. And your mommy still tucks you in with a bottle of warm milk at night. You utter children. At least my toddler displays he understands his own ignorance by asking a Q occasionally.

It's an easy point to lose sight of, but I'm REALLY tired of all these tech and business-adjacent dipshits insisting they are special little boys who are experts in everything, when if the shoe was on the other foot they would crumble and whine about how we could not possibly understand their genius

Why is an operations management professor being allowed to make decisions about vaccine policy?

Imagine how Retsef would feel if I was appointed to be an editor for something he wrote on logistics. I don't imagine he'd be very friendly to it.

Not to get all pro-inflation or anything but I do worry we made cocaine too cheap.

"Wants to get involved in local politics" and "has a strong prior for just staying out of everybody's business" is a VERY rare combination, but if that describes you and you have the stomach for it you are DESPERATELY NEEDED in local and hyperlocal politics. Just show up!

I did not like what it turned me into and so when my main job was done I went back to the farm Cincinnatus-style, but simply turning up to neighborhood meetings made me co-chair of a committee revising our bylaws to allow asynchronous voting so parents, nurses on night shift, etc. could have a say.

Kennedy’s Methodical 2-Decade Quest to Dismantle Vaccine Policy

This horrible conspiracy addled freak should never have been allowed within ten miles of US vaccine policy and given the chance to destroy countless lives for no reason at all.

rfk jr wants to kill your kids, it’s really that simple.

Oh great, RFK's Special Committee on Baby Killing is meeting again.

Liver cancer prevention in children. That is what RFK Jr trying to "scale back on" today.

He is a monster.

Buddy I grew up in a '97 Taurus wagon with the reverse death seat. Tf is this guy talking about 1970s, we still had these in the early part of Bush II.

"Groups of people who are being horribly wronged sometimes have individuals in them who make mistakes" and "bad faith operators occasionally make accurate points" are pretty sophisticated sentiments to need to hold, but they are necessary.

Your NFC #1 seed Chicago Bears.

I love this dumb sport so much.

We need to make owning up to your mistakes and failures manly again.

It's overly simplistic to suggest this is money that would've gone to other university aspects like education and research b/c this is to some degree donor-funded and those donors care about football and not those other things. But it's still galling and grim to compare faculty and these parasites.

The kind of "gold standard science" they're touting doesn't exist. fivethirtyeight.com/features/the...

IANAL and all but, like, genuinely how is a sorority not an "unlawful proxy" under the Bondi memo?
