Yes! And thinking about the backwards loop at the end of β€œRain” - I looked at the Wikipedia entry. No idea that George Martin also took credit for it.

Today it’s Within You Without You. But it’s often Tomorrow Never Knows.

Hey @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social ~44-48 million in the U.S. have experienced long Covid. Risks increase with each new reinfection. Political leaders are dismantling public health more & more each day.

I'm a big comedy fan but how is it funny to punch down to people who wear masks in 2025?

Trump officials set to approve β€˜forever chemical’ as pesticide ingredient Critics say that fifth Pfas Trump’s EPA has proposed for approval this year would put food and water supply at risk

During his campaign, Trump (& RFK) promised to rein in the use of dangerous pesticides, but the EPA has loosened oversight and is accelerating pesticide approvals.

Notably, the top 4 positions in the new Trump EPA’s chemical safety office are held by former pesticide and chemical industry lobbyists

I spoke to CNN about how demoralizing it was to watch Stanford leadership stay silent while contrarians on campus launched unscientific attacks to stifle Stanford researchers. Now, those attacks have gone nationwide and much of MAHA leadership have ties to Stanford.

I’m no great fan of the ACA.

I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system.

But β€” at minimum β€” we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.
