Amazing. 10/10, no notes.

Suddenly affirmative action will become OK

What's the chance he does not like carrot cake specifically because carrots are vegetables and vegetables are not manly?

INDIANA JONES AND THE AWKWARD GESTURE

As everyone knows, the best science is done either (1) on an empty stomach or (2) on the grounds of your hereditary estate.

Man, I hate it that everyone just skips ahead to the second part of "The genetical theory of natural selection."

They used ChatGPT didn’t they

Omg, 😍.

I just replace the phrase "common sense" in my head as am reading with "I am just winging it," works every time.

Problem is, WWE is not real fighting

Ooh, didn’t think about that. Great observation.

I think about data science approaches to understanding police violence, economic, educational and professional disparities, maternal mortality rates, etc. that allowed us to move away from anecdotes to analysis

I think we need to remember this is a war on expertise at a critical moment in time when our definition of expertise was becoming more expansive and equitable. This makes the link between the attack on expertise/science and attempts to re-segregate much more clear.

💯 sympathetic with you on this but (1) it’s not “therefore” but “and” and (2) relentless comprehensive mockery is the best medicine against authoritarians. I am willing to set my ethics aside somewhat and fight dirty, but ymmv and I am not judging.

I want to offer a public apology to FDA head Marty Makary for calling him an ignorant piece of shit in a post last night.

I just learned he is an islet transplant surgeon. Yes, the cells that produce insulin.

I was wrong. He is not ignorant.

This piece of shit knows *exactly* what he is doing.

You just look at them and think "Ha, they think THEY are the master race?"

BREAKING: Republicans pass ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ stripping transgender Americans of health care The Human Rights Campaign called the bill "cruel."

HOLY SHIT. The ban on any federal funding gender-affirming care includes stripping ACA plans of covering it as the essential care it is.

I have an ACA plan. I live in a blue state, but I am about to lose access to treatments I need.

We told you this was coming

Shorter JD: "I can only have social solidarity with people who look like me, but in a totally non-racist way"

Great idea IMO

Ironically, Musk is more of an Edison rather than a Tesla

Yeah same. My next car will likely be at least a hybrid so will have to give up the manual transmission

I drive stick AND ALSO run a bespoke Arch Linux desktop on my daily driver, so...

100% agree. The target the debate is not them but the (hopefully larger) not totally crazy audience that hasn't been clued in up to now.

Trump take teeth

The ineptitude of the entire cabinet of The Regime is terrifying. But I contend that in regard to individual power, Robert F. Kennedy has the ability to kill more Americans faster than any other Secretary.

He’s off to a great start by lying about vaccines and saying that experts are worthless.

That's their goal, but I am saying the way they are going about it is less likely to succeed, if we look at past such attempts.

It's just revenge for being told to wear masks during COVID

I am actually more optimistic now that this all will badly backfire. The successful autogolpe playbook seems to be: boil the frog slowly while doing popular things. They are intent on doing the opposite on both counts.

The U.S. is on track to have the worst whooping cough outbreak since 1948. Some regions are reporting that they are struggling to do contact tracing of cases because they are ALSO managing measles investigations.

And, of course, funding cuts to public health have resulted in fewer resources.

Strictly merit-based hiring from now on, just like in the US federal government rn
