Activist and scientific consultant for Downwinders in Utah. Degrees in Chemistry (BS), Biochemistry (M.Phil) and Biomedical Engineering (Ph.D). So can do anything, but somehow strangely unemployable. Love living by the Wasatch mountains. Wikipedia editor.

30.09.2025 02:44 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I work in a field of biomedical research. This administration has
been a career-ending apocalypse to dozen of my former classmates and colleagues - especially those from other countries. And I'm talking about some other most brilliant scientists I know.
"Biggest surprise for me is just how, uhh, quiet, uneventful, stable it's all been
(I said what I said)"
I know. Just pointing out that, for some, the past 9 months have been far, far worse than 'normal'.

Wrongthink now gets you on a list that is openly trying to liaison with the government (which has already said it will be doing similar work in the weeks to come). The list referenced below now exceeds 100,000 people. People on the list are already getting death threats.
15.09.2025 06:14 β π 1429 π 686 π¬ 152 π 79I'm a 59-year old white male. Was I saved by my graduate degree?
08.09.2025 23:49 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Same here - Wallgreens in Utah. They still tried to tell me I didn't qualify since I hadn't had an organ transplant or was immunocompromised. "Check you list, I qualify under "depression".
06.09.2025 21:44 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Definitely not mine - a Wallgreens in Utah. Also needed a prescription from my doctor. Elderly couple in front of me denied for not having a prescription even though people 65+ are not supposed to need one. Woman stormed off yelling, "Utah is screwed!"
06.09.2025 21:39 β π 1 π 1 π¬ 1 π 0LOL. The elderly woman stormed off yelling, "UTAH IS SCREWED!"
06.09.2025 00:33 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Got mine at a UT Wallgreens today. Watched an elderly couple turned away for not having scripts. Pointing out that those over 65 don't need one didn't help them. I was asked if I'd had an organ trans or was immunocomp'd and answered, no. "Then you can't get the shot" Check the list-depression works.

He appeared at just the right time to describe the short-comings of the Bush admin at a time the media refused to post-911. (mediawhoreonline era). His writing now seems to be suffering from the fact he's never done anything else.

The only fraud identified since Utah started voting by mail is in-house impersonation fraud (e.g., husband fills out deceased wife's ballot). Out of 2 million votes in each election since 2016, the cases of fraud have been in the single digits. utahnewsdispatch.com/2024/12/09/u...
