"We're going to create superintelligence" How about making outlook search work first. How about that

the po-faced insistence by the Roberts Court that they offer unbiased & reasonable jurisprudence is more insulting than anything Trump has ever said

A representative for GWAR told The Post, "Normalizing violence? Humans don't need GWAR for that. There is nothing normal about the Looney Toon violence acted out on a GWAR stage. GWAR is absurdist spectacle. GWAR is to violence what the New York Post is to journalism. Ridiculous."

LOL

Conservatives love to darkly say stuff like “you aren’t prepared for what’s next, we’re not going to be moderate anymore, you have no idea what you’ve unleashed” and then cry like babies when you call them fascists

This appears to be an elaborate Baroque-style sculptural representation of an archangel, likely Saint Michael, defeating a demonic figure. The sculpture is mounted on an ornate gilded base and is displayed in a museum setting with white walls and other historical paintings visible in the background. The archangel is depicted with dramatic movement - wearing blue and red clothing with a winged form, wielding a sword, and standing triumphantly over a defeated demonic or serpentine figure. The sculpture shows incredible detail in the flowing drapery, musculature, and dynamic pose, characteristic of Baroque artistic style which emphasized dramatic movement and emotional intensity. The sculpture is placed on a white museum pedestal, with track lighting illuminating it from above, and other similarly styled paintings can be seen in the background, suggesting this is part of a larger exhibition of historical religious art.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

For many, the promise of woo is something you can’t argue with. Modern medicine is a way of managing your body’s decline. You face tradeoffs and side effects because you can’t really be fully fixed. Woo promises what medicine can’t - that if you make the right choices, you can fully be healed.

"We are gravely concerned that American people will needlessly suffer and die as a result of policies that turn away from sound interventions. After careful consideration, we insist on Kennedy’s resignation to restore the integrity, credibility and science-driven mission of HHS and all its agencies"

Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted

A must-read, must-share piece - clearly deconstructing the shoddy science of the Geiers (who are inexplicably in charge of studies at HHS).

Huh. I don't remember the federal government asking me what flavor of "white" I am before. This list of what are I think meant to be ethnicities also seems really arbitrary, and doesn't map out onto ethnicities per se. (This is for an NSF annual personnel report for a graduate training program.)
