Jesse Ventura knew this. He spoke plainly and succinctly. I remember a debate where Norm Coleman and Skip Humphrey used every second of their time to hit as many talking points as possible. Jesse answered the question, even if took 10 seconds, and yielded the rest of his time.
People liked that. 🤷🏻♂️

It has never been proven that I can’t fly.
Just like it’s never been proven that vaccines don’t cause autism.
No evidence for either, but neither has been proven 🤷🏻♂️

Peter Thiel is the Real Antichrist w/ Gil Duran
Podcast Episode · Tech Won't Save Us · 11/20/2025 · 1h 1m
Peter Thiel and the rest of the tech billionaires are faux Christians while enacting policies (USAID cuts) that have killed 600,000 poor people already. Seems…anti-Christ like 🤷🏻♂️

Healthcare in the US is already strained to the max. Removing funding for nursing training (and Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Anesthetist programs, etc) will make it just that much worse

Yeah; someone of similar age was telling us about this over dinner tonight. Was at a conference as a trainee where she was flying home and was offered a ride home by a senior faculty member who was going to road trip (would involve hotel stay). She flew.

Wakefield lied, falsified data, and did it all without approval from research oversight authorities.
He should have been jailed.

The contagiousness of measles is truly shocking/remarkable/scary. One case in a guest at a wedding has led to thousands of cases in North America, led to Canada losing its elimination status, and will soon do the same in the US.
Vaccine skepticism kills

A classic example of why “let’s just compromise” is sometimes bullshit.
One view (vaccines are safe and effective) is correct and supported by data.
The other view is conspiracy theorist fueled grifting.

This change is egregious, misrepresents the scientific record, and even how basic science is done.
Public health will take years to recover (and may never, now that partisan politics has invaded science)

True; maybe message is “don’t screw with your steady state”. I’m just impressed the abstinence group went from 7 cups a day to 0. Couldn’t do it!

Caffeinated Coffee Consumption or Abstinence to Reduce Atrial Fibrillation
This clinical trial compares the effect of caffeinated coffee consumption vs abstinence from coffee and caffeine on recurrent atrial fibrillation.
Drinking coffee (vs abstinence) reduces the risk of recurrent atrial fibrillation. Lots of coffee studies are observational with residual confounding, but this is an honest-to-god RCT 👍
