Forty Years of Data Quantifies Benefits of Bt Corn Adoption Across a Wide Variety of Crops for the First Time UMD researchers have pulled together forty years of data to quantify the effects of Bt corn, a highly marketed and successful genetically modified corn variety, in a novel and large-scale study. Other...

Science is amazing. Bt corn reduces pests, and therefore, the need for pesticides. It also produces a halo effect where it reduces the population of pests on other crops as well. Very impressive: agnr.umd.edu/news/forty-y...

narrative that was rejected; it is the clever swapping out of one irrational narrative for another, under the pretext of rationality. Postmodernism is a reaction to irrationalism through the guise of rationality that replaces irrationalism with more irrationalism.

I will here explain how real postmodernism works. A critic rightly points out the irrationalism of a particular philosophy or belief. The critic then substitutes his own irrational narrative in place of the irrational narrative he didn’t like. Postmodernism isn’t the irrationality of the…

I built a time machine with a Flux Capacitor, and went back to the start of it all and delivered one message to democrats: ‘No, I’m sorry, that will never do, you’re going to have to be a lot tougher and more aggressive than that!’ We should start to see a shift in the time continuum.

Powerful message from Jasmine Crockett:

Every blue state needs to wake up. It’s time to fight back.

But the problem is, that’s not what Fox News said.

I have little doubt that AI is already indirectly responsible for human deaths, insofar as it has been deployed by DOGE. Who knows where else it has been unofficially-officially, irresponsibly and unethically deployed, thereby causing harm, harm that’s merely getting started.

And it wasn’t just the scapegoating, it was the manufacturing of fear. I had idiots contacting me saying their greatest fear was that our country was “being invaded by immigrants.” Where did they get this idea from? What people should be afraid of is the (real!) rising Republican police state.

This is serious. The DOJ and FBI, that American taxpayers fund, should be making tracking these terrorists top priority. Imagine how dangerous, impulsive and unhinged this person is— no doubt, everyone who know this person has had intense conflict with him.

even though callous men are hardened to reject it. But their dumb physical strength cannot sustain a society without civil values. The moral arc of the social universe is rooted in empathy and cannot exist at all without justice!

At times like these, it takes even more than courage. The culture is pitted against the very values that make society possible. We have our composure, which can serve as a testimony to nobility, to civility, to a higher way of conducting ourselves—as an example—

"There’s no one watching for human rights abuses.”

Done in the name of America, no different than how the Nazis’ treatment of the Jews was done in the name of Germany. And the Republicans are merely getting started. The amount of people that will eventually have horrors to tell will be legion!

Republicans are every bit as bad as everyone warning about them said they would be. And they’re only getting started.

Yes, this is a powerful technique. Intelligent. A wise way to handle misinformation.

This Texas man is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Telling it like it is & lighting up the Nazis on the panel.

We need to fight this gerrymandering with everything we’ve got.

One of the most important and powerful things any kid can do to make a better world is if they see someone being pushed around, stand up for them.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Witness the moment FSFP & @womensmarch.com delivered nearly 1 MILLION signatures to Rep. @raskin.house.gov's office from Americans across this country demanding the impeachment, conviction, and removal of Donald Trump.

God said, “and then, in wisdom, they shall form governments to promote the common good, so they don’t have to succumb to GoFundMe’s.”

Telling the truth.

Powerful.

“I remember when the men with the masks took my father away.”

“I remember when the men with the masks took my mother away.”

Disgusting human beings praising these acts done in the name of America, never once realizing that immigration enforcement shouldn’t be cruel, dramatic or violent.

The apathy, complacency. We must be vigilant of it in ourselves. We should be celebrating non-conformists. In a world of conformity, that brings about tyranny, we need to hear about the virtues and heroism of non-conformity. A healthy society must always cultivate rational non-conformity.

Point of order: there is no problem with laws and enforcing laws, this is required for a good society. The problem is arbitrary laws impose through tyranny and used to justify and sustain tyranny, brutality, inhumane and cruel treatment. It is this, and not law, that we oppose.

I’ve watched this young fella, Dean Withers, from the beginning. He’s massively talented and should be supported by the Left as much as possible. He’s an incredibly skilled polemicist. And with the right educational nurturing he could become even more skilled.

This should go viral.

So many people use ChatGPT or Gemini or whatever, this Q&A could get through to the average person-on-the-street.
