His choice in watch is befitting someone who cares more about people than wealth.

ICE taps Canadian firm for 20 armoured vehicles despite Trump trade war | Globalnews.ca U.S. government procurement records show plans for an order worth about $10 million for 20 Senator vehicles from Roshel that are built to resist bullets and bomb blasts.

For the Canadians who want to help but feel like they can't: The vehicle here is Canadian made and was sold to ICE. Your Provincial government should know support like this is unacceptable.

I like that he tried to copy her use of the tilde, instead of just using a hyphen like everyone else does when crediting a quote.

He wanted to use the smart squiggle too.

Not a single matching vest. No way that any of the gear is government issued.

These are the same people who say that "making unhealthy choices" puts extra strain on the medical system. They said it was a patriotic duty to be healthy.

Does having to treat measles outbreaks not put more strain on the healthcare system than say... A vaccine?

I really don't think the label of "domestic terrorists" fits. Maybe "friendly people" would be better?

As much as I don't want to give it viewership, I often find that when people reflexively discredit "leftist media" (i.e. any reputable news source) showing them the wacko personalities they are supporting is a powerful tool.

Would you mind telling me which podcast had this pair on?

This is absolutely the wrong take. Don't get taken advantage of. Don't let the door to abuse open wider.

What kind of ticker message is:

Holy hell.

Worth repeating:

The "cultural knowledge" that these institutions have is greater than the sum of the knowledge of participating individuals.

When you lose this kind of knowledge, there is no shortcut for getting it back. You have to go through the same trials that taught the lessons before.

I find the email link especially bothersome too: DEIAtruth@opm.gov

Implying that if you write in claiming there is conspiracy, you are a champion of "truth". In reality, it just means you don't want equality.

So, entities that are able to make over 250k A YEAR from just the capital they hold would run away to the States for that incremental 16% savings?

It would hurt them that much? Low productivity couldn't be helped by giving money back to people that is frozen in billionaire/corporate accounts?

I am totally on board with more research. It is always better to have better data!

I guess the trigger for my comment was more of a distaste for the boogeyman that "chemicals" is. But I might be projecting my feelings onto your words.

Communicating science that doesn't hit people's biases is hard.

While the idea of "forever chemicals on your wrist" does feel uncomfortable, is it actually any real cause for concern?

I may be missing something in this specific case, but it seems like there is an implicit communication of danger - that at this point is unfounded.

A long winded question:
EPA and NIH have recent studies around the chemical in question (PFHxA). EPA has no immediate concerns but wants more studies. NIH says there is enough evidence to say it is not carcinogenic, a selective reproductive or developmental toxicant, or an endocrine disruptor.

Why everyone stopped reading.
YouTube video by Jared Henderson Why everyone stopped reading.

The article was paywalled so I only read the freely available section, but the topic is well tackled in this video:
youtu.be/A3wJcF0t0bQ?...

Some parts of it feel extremely obvious. But I suppose things aren't always as they feel.

I think Spotify is the ultimate example of this. People wanted a good way to play music. Spotify had that. Now they have podcasts, audiobooks, video snippets, and are planning on trying to compete with YouTube.

Every feature is just another thing to get in the way of listening to music.
