Well done Pugs

From the NYT: “The White House on Wednesday sent letters to nine of the nation's top public and private universities, urging campus leaders to pledge support for President Trump's political agenda to help ensure access to federal research funds.”

University presidents it’s time for a united front. I mean, it’s past time. What are you going to do.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.

Mike Johnson voted “no” on that.

They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

@childersradio.bsky.social we better hear bad to the bone at least 10 times tomorrow

@alexkirshner.com…never wrong, just early. You Called it two years ago 👏👏

He betrayed his oath as a physician and sold out the country when he voted to confirm RFK Jr, knows damn well he’s a dangerous quack, but keeping Trump neutral in his primary is his highest priority.

There is no "if"...

Well, on this night a bunch of 18-22 year old guys were acting like a bunch of 18 year old guys and broke one of the windows of the van. Spent the next 2 hours coming up with lies to cover ourselves. They were all better than this one.

So when I was in college, we were returning campus from a baseball game and for some unknown reason we drove in vans, unsupervised, driven by any teammate older than 21. (1/2)

With Alabama and Texas getting their asses kicked in non-conference games, we’re going to have to limit the SEC to a maximum 7 bids in the College Football Playoff

GOP: We are the pro-life party!

So—free pre-natal care?

GOP: We force 11-yr-old rape victims to give birth

I miss the old brand #CDC

College football Bluesky posters who are not already part of the Fullcast/SZD/Phantom Island/Banner Society/etc extended universe and have no idea what this podcast is: I think you would like it and you should listen to it

We’re at the tail-end of a very funny time for recordkeeping.

Scientists reversed memory loss by powering the brain’s tiny engines Scientists have discovered a direct cause-and-effect link between faulty mitochondria and the memory loss seen in neurodegenerative diseases. By creating a novel tool to boost mitochondrial activity…

French and Canadian researchers have shown that faulty mitochondria directly drive memory loss in dementia. Using a new tool to boost mitochondrial activity in mice, they restored memory performance, proving cause and effect for the first time. buff.ly/2REM0fd

Can this be increased by orders of magnitude due to it occurring in a PRE-season game ?

Still remember one study where they had "AI" look at photos to diagnose cancer and it had like a 98% or 99% accuracy...

...except all the photos of actual tumors had a ruler next to them for scale. And the algorithm just got really good at spotting rulers in a photograph.

AI Eroded Doctors’ Ability to Spot Cancer Within Months in Study Artificial intelligence, touted for its potential to transform medicine, led to some doctors losing skills after just a few months in a new study.

“The AI in the study probably prompted doctors to become over-reliant on its recommendations, ‘leading to clinicians becoming less motivated, less focused, and less responsible when making cognitive decisions without AI assistance,’ the scientists said in the paper.”

Trump on January 6: Nancy Pelosi stopped me from sending the DC National Guard to protect the Capitol.

Trump tomorrow: the President of the United States has complete control over the DC National Guard.

Make it make sense.

7min ago Police believe, after speaking with shooter's family, that CDC was the target From CNN's John Miller After speaking with the suspected shooter’s family members, police are operating under the theory that he was either sick or believed that he was sick and blamed the illness on the Covid-19 vaccine, a law enforcement official told CNN.

the people responsible for spreading lies about covid vaccines have blood on their hands tonight.

On his decision to end $500M worth of research on mRNA vaccines, RFK Jr. said:

“The the data show these vaccines fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu”.

These vaccines saved 3.2M lives in the U.S.

He is running a disinformation op against Americans.

No one saw this coming, right? (Looking at you, Bill Cassidy.)

Kennedy lied his way thru his confirmation hearings so he could attain the power he needs to implement his reckless plan to undercut, if not destroy, the nation’s vaccine system.

This will cause deaths. Thank you, Trump voters.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

RFK Jr and HHS just ended all US supported mRNA vaccine development

the USA built a system of higher education so good that smart/rich people from across the world came here, spending billions to learn here, subsidizing education for Americans while spending money to live in our cities and towns. our government arbitrarily decided we should stop doing that

@splitzoneduo.com great work on the latest episode. Love hearing how much we all have in common bc of college football. Thanks for doing what you do!
