Charlie Kirk, who stated that deaths by gun violence are an acceptable cost, was a rare example of Republican practicing what he preached. He died doing what he believed in.

NPR's Declaration of Independence tweetstorm confuses some National Public Radio marked the Fourth of July by tweeting the entire Declaration of Independence, but it seems some Twitter users didn't recognize what they were reading.

On July 4, 2017, NPR tweeted out the Declaration line by line and MAGA supporters thought NPR was tweeting out anti-Trump messages.

Still photo from Indiana Jones movie and titular character played by Harrison Ford punching a Nazi. Across the top of the photo is written, β€œI came here to study the humanities and punch Nazis.” Along the bottom is written, β€œAnd they just cut funding for the humanities.”

With the amount of Pb and jelly consumed in the USA I'm surprised lead poisoning isn't more common.

And surely it'd be too hard to eat?

Title:
SOME GRAMMATICAL VOICES FOR USE IN SCIENTIFIC WRITING

ACTIVE VOICE
e.g.
Our team collected samples and then we tested them.

CLICKBAIT VOICE
e.g.
We collected some samples...
You won't believe what happened next!

PASSIVE VOICE
e.g.
Samples were collected and tested.

HAIKU VOICE
e.g.
Quiet science lab.
Workers arrive with samples.
The testing begins.

PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE VOICE
e.g. We did all the collecting and testing.
No need to thank us.
Just doing our job.

CONSPIRACY VOICE
e.g.
Mysterious "Samples" were harvested and covertly "tested" by so-called scientists.

If they can set up a disease registry to track something that is not a disease, like autism, why can't they track something that is a disease, like measles?

If you go through life with half a dozen undiagnosed things, you are going to suffer. It doesn't matter what they are. Those half dozen undiagnosed things may each be manageable alone, but together will all multiply each other.

Albert Einstein died on this day, April 18, 1955.

It is incredible to hear Albert Einstein explain his famous formula, E=mcΒ².

I’m absolutely serious about this. Today I have registered the domain name womenforhumanrights.co.uk

Maybe this won’t be what sticks, but it’s a start.

A disabled person who can't work can still have a positive contribution to society just by smiling at people. Many people with high-paying steady jobs, such as insurance executives, are actively harmful to society.
