email to me: Our disabled son has CP and bladder spasms so urologist is recommending Botox treatments and we read your article and are concerned about the presence of mRNA in the Botox. Is mRNA in all brands? How can we know if it is in there? Is there a safe brand you recommend? He has to have this so what do we do? Thanks

my reply: personally, i'd recommend you follow the advice of your doctor. but what do i know, i'm just a random person you emailed. I have no more formal education around botox than the author Naomi Wolf, whose advice I assume you were actually seeking. but since you emailed me, my suggestion is that you listen to your kid's urologist, who is a trained medical professional, rather than seeking out medical advice from someone with an english degree and a history of making significant errors in her research. best of luck!

a specific skill I've developed over the past ~20 years is crafting responses to emails sent to me, but intended for that other Naomi Wolf

I was thinking of client red flags: the things that, if a potential client does them, I start out suspicious and on my guard. Some of these are about honesty, some are about narcissism and personality, some are about capacity to take legal advice.

So the anti-vax, having their victory in their campaign to kill as many kids as possible are now going after teens and adults.

This is hilarious. But also….this dude is doing exactly what he is complaining about. The hypocrisy is coming from inside the house too.

Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.

There are a lot of people who want to close the door behind them after the enter.

At this point it really feels like they are deliberately trying to rename @mmasnick.bsky.social’s Streisand effect after themselves.

Trump is going to write like two dozen new names in sharpie.

(Thought this because of the board reference in the old review)

Complete side note but man I miss the old BABB and the folks there. I spent so many hours on that board.

The only other one I can think of is @philplait.bsky.social’s old Bad Astronomy site.

There was also Intuitor.

Those are the two blistering long form reviews that I remember.

Jabootu? I was a huge fan of them.

Never saw Gilbert, Romeo. Hated him on the beach.

He was always an actor to me that got under my skin somehow. Not sure why.

I respect his craft. He is a great actor. Just younger me didn’t like him. Older me is ambivalent.

Same!

I gotta rewatch it one day.

I have almost completely blocked Highlander 2 from memory. Was that the future one with the planet shield?

The Neverending story 2 is the only movie I have ever walked out of midway. It was so bad even kid-me knew it and just left.

Saying that Brandis is awesome and he was almost my teen idol. Especially his time of DSV.

God I've been online way too much. That stupid Marshal of the SC meme came to my brain way too quickly.

But its insanity and complete lack of attachment to reality so perfectly fits that group.

It was authorized by the Marshal of the Supreme Court.

Ok. If this is real, this is a great evolution of the Death Star idea. I love the use of the movie scenes.

I’m very curious if it keeps the $1,000 price tag or if it gets lowered.

But unless it’s insanely priced, I’m definitely in.

I fully support the entire AI industry seeing the consequences for their actions.

I so badly want reports to repeatedly ask why if RFK Jr so deeply holds this belief in health freedom, why has he spent his entire time as secretary removing those health freedoms from the public?

Doctor Who is best when it’s treated like a show for kids and every time it goes dark it fails.

Yes even that episode.

This is 100% real. Btw. Got them from a woot sale years ago.

Easy. Here you go:

Pick your cup.

yep. go 100% on offense. Constantly dictate the conversation with simple, brutally repetitive messaging.

corruption, pedophilia, book bans, government's nose in your bedroom, mass death and destruction caused by attacks on science and the regulatory state

I feel like every single day I need to post a reminder: if you ask an LLM about itself it DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ITS INNER WORKINGS and WILL NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING ACTUALLY ABOUT ITSELF. It just (as it always does) will make up some plausible sounding answer.

Robot priests. All have a super sexy accent.

Wait. The dye thing was him?!? lol. Just a hack in every possible way.
