I see Clyburn is too narcissistic to step down when the stepping is good.
The Democrats never fail to practice failure.
Harvard boy never studied the unconditional surrender of Hirohito on the USS Missouri in September 1945.
Trump absorbed this when he was a kid --> young adult.
Left commentators I've read don't seem to get it.
Probably meaningless in the case of US v Iran.
In genetic testing, it is more accurate to speak of Non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) rather than Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). But, capitalism and Americans are prudes in many ways.
At a concensus conference I could never get NIPS to be widely adopted.
Very cool.. Eric Davidson, z”l, would be intrigued. I wonder if Andy Cameron knows what you are thinking....?
When feminist ideology (my mother was an early member of NOW and helped found the magazine 'Lilith') removes the WWII descriptor that Freud used to explain the Nazi's and substitutes a more 'modern' term that obscures the issue, we have a problem.
Etymology should not overshadow human history.
I am convinced that many of the physicians in the MAHA movement have a thought disorder and are not well.
I avered the descriptor "mass hysteria" to @bandylee.bsky.social, but I think she does not like Freud's term.
Bandy prefers the term "shared psychosis", but I think our meanings are close.
Vinay was a bright physician-scientist for years, and Venk Murthy & I had several useful interactions with him for a time. But, as his catalog of adverse effects of COVID vaccines grew he became less wise, more skeptical.
In the last few years he snapped; and we should understand he is not well.
A handful of Republicans in Congress & Supreme Court can end this nightmare any time they choose, and history will remember them as saviors of the republic, no matter what terrible things they did to US in last 10 years: insane we cannot find a few volunteers for this plum deal!
I saw 'Mr. Nobody Against Putin' last night at WHOI -- part of the Woods Hole Film Festival.
The film documents Putin's many lies that have led to the loss of over a million Russian war personnel.
I did not sleep well.
Too many President murderers, too little time

I do not think this trend will reverse anytime soon. At Harvard, Laurence Bogorad used to tell me science is non-partisan. I guess not in 2026.
Oh, and then there's Judge Brian Murphy, who understands US law MUCH better than the Supreme Court Majority (including Roberts), and is trying to teach them.
But Judge Murphy doesn't permit the thought that the Supreme majority are anti-constitutional and antidemocratic to enter his mind.
I am encouraged by Noem's firing and by the fact that Lindsey Halligan is under investigation by the Florida Bar.
Any attorney who would work for Trump is crooked.
So many crooked attorneys and judges, so little time.
he is not a civilized person
BRAVO!
This is not an America I ever knew, but Hegseth, Trump, and their buddies are telling me it is America now.
On the contrary, these dopes are willing to endorse a felon, extortionist, liar, womanizer, and cheat as long as the economy is doing well.
They are a good reflection of the 40% of likely voters or adults who overlook his authoritarianism, anti-constitutionalism, and anti-democratic policies.
The NYTimes tells us the people of Texas would vote again for a felon, liar, extortionist, warmonger, and that they mostly care about the economy.
We live in a country with a nefarious government that Fox News tells us is a democracy.
And in a worldwide nightmare that we call civilization
Another day, another war, another sign of the fall of the American Empire.
If you are not doomscrolling, you are not a living, breathing human.
1,144 in a country of 342.3 million.
OK, whatever you say...
Bob Gallo told me not to think about it anymore; nothing good can come out of it.
For these reasons and more, I entirely favor impeachment. Furthermore, accusing Trump of Violating the Supreme Court's order on Tariffs within 24 hours, itself provides a convincing case.
The blizzard in Falmouth
A friend of a friend, who was in my Astronomy club at the Hall of Science growing up, started AccuWeather. I just could never get into that kind of physics. I didn't foresee the huge weather models we have now. But I imagine Todd did.

Incidentally, sports fans, I had ChatGPT5.2 help me write a 2000-line shell script today, which is a milestone, not for me but for ChatGPT and me.
Though I was elated at Sunny Williams talk @mblscience.bsky.social Friday night, I am depressed by the state of American science.
I knew one of Netanyahu's teachers. He was Jewish in ancestry only. He believed in none of the ethics. He was very much like Roy Cohn, who I think he was friends with. Subconsciously self-hating Jews are the worst.
