My three-year-old was reading Chris Cillizza’s Substack when she turned to me gravely and asked “daddy why did the woke mob put a flier on the nice man’s Tesla?” And when I told her “because the illiberal left is embracing violence,” she started crying.

I wanted to offer some thoughts on the Gates climate memo that has been circulating this week. While I can't directly speak for others, I can say that my own response is one of dismay & deep frustration (and that this view is shared by many climate/Earth scientists). [1/n]

That would have been big news a few years ago, unfortunately the great science that gives important understanding in coronaviruses is now back to the small circle of scientists. Anyway: A fully functional furin cleavage site in a bat betacorarnavirus! Congrats to the authors!

22-Oct 2022 headline from The Economist
A new paper claims SARS-CoV-2 bears signs of genetic engineering
But it has yet to be peer reviewed. And others strongly disagree
🧵Remember the preprint claiming SARS-CoV-2 has a "synthetic fingerprint"?
It said a restriction map was "extremely unlikely to have arisen by random evolution.”
I took its claims seriously.
The "synthetic fingerprint" hypothesis collapses. My new preprint explains why.

The cartoon is four panels. Panel 1: a dog is looking at his cell phone and talking to a cat who's sitting in front of him. The dog is saying "I like this quote: 'Be kind. Everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.'" The cat replies, "What's your battle?" Panel 2: Close-up of dog saying, "Fighting my feelings of sadness whenever the human is away." Panel 3: The dog is saying to the cat, "How about you?" Panel 4: The cat says, "My battle is with a piece of string." The dog replies while looking down at his phone, "Okay. Good talk."
Be kind

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Russia only understands strength.
It only negotiates when put under pressure.
That’s why we are working towards adopting our 19th package of sanctions this week.

Googled the title of our new paper out today and the FIRST HIT was an AI sludge article that was completely incorrect
A: no we didn't analyse phosphorus isotope ratios in rocks
B: NOBODY analyses these
C: because phosphorus only has ONE stable isotope
