Modern medicine's base of knowledge is rife with inaccurate and incomplete understanding of women's health. The bias is well documented. AI just turbocharges the problem. GIGO.

Trump can call the National Guard to respond to record low crime rates in DC when people are saying he is a pedophile & best friend of the most notorious pedophile of all time, but he couldn’t figure it out when a violent mob was destroying the Capitol (caused >$30M damages) & trying to hang his VP…

Martha would most likely put it to better use.

Homelessness is a policy failure, not a personal one.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:

“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

Israel just killed him.

I assume they'll be needing to get your SSN to validate your work eligibility. If you give them a fake number, they'll probably prosecute you for fraud or somesuch. Doesn't seem like a great idea unless you want to build a felony rap sheet.

Additionally, I miss the basic human competency.

She was a real one

So much funk & groove in this one.

The aggressive ignorance will never stop being mind blowing.

Fun fact, shingles goes after nerve bundles. You can get shingles in your optic nerves and go blind.

Definitely more predictable than humans.

The ham universe is in Orion's belly.

This is an absolute betrayal to people who faithfully served their country. There is not a single Republican on earth who gets to utter the lie that they “care about our troops” now

During Trump’s first term, Ivanka famously had 41 trademark applications fast-tracked and approved by the Chinese government

18 of them also involved the president

If the CEO of Intel must resign because he is connected to Chinese companies

Shouldn’t Trump do the same

Substack’s extremist ecosystem is flourishing The app's recent swastika push alert was just the tip of the iceberg.

NEW: Since giving NYT hacked info from a Nazi and sending a swastika push alert, Substack's extremism is in the spotlight again. An investigation finds Substack is a haven for newsletters dedicated to white supremacy—with the co-founders' blessing.

Hello journalists. If you report this you gotta say that under the Constitution he has no power to do it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I'm imagining an inept riddled mashup of panicked Veep staffers and a Succession hyperventilating pow-wow with Cousin Greg and Tom Wambsgans with none of the wit or vocabulary.

Oooh, lemme help.

Have you got a nice set of champagne flutes? If not, downing directly from the bottle would be acceptable upon that occasion.

Is this rizz? I am old and can't say for certain. But I'm leaning towards rizz.

51 here. I've been haunted by that sort of night terror since algebra in HS. I don't think it ever goes away.

Dramatic Air Quality Improvements after the Complete Electrification of a Commuter Rail System To limit the impact of climate change, there is an urgent requirement for infrastructure decarbonization and a transition to lower-emission energy systems. This is expected to result in local air quality co-benefits. However, quantification of these benefits through direct observations is often difficult because most transitions involve a gradual technological substitution over years or decades. Here, we report on a unique case study of local air quality improvements resulting from the rapid and complete transition of the Caltrain commuter rail system (California, USA) from diesel to electric operation over 6 weeks in 2024. At two measurement sites within the San Francisco station, concentrations of black carbon particles (BC, a major diesel exhaust constituent) dropped by 1.9 and 0.6 μg m–3. In addition, BC exposure on board the trains decreased on average by 89% and up to 17 μg m–3 per ride, where journey direction, proximity to the locomotive, and number of stops are key factors in rail car pollutant concentrations powered by diesel engines. Given that dozens of similarly equipped, diesel-operated commuter rail systems exist across the U.S., there is substantial potential for air pollution exposure reductions elsewhere through future electrification projects.

YES! It's an objectively good thing we can realize immediately.

An important point along with the air quality gains this has had, ridership is also up and staying up.
