Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

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

What if all the increased military presence in DC is because of an international threat? They just can't tell the public. Idk, it makes more sense than what they are telling.

I've been dressing like Adam Sandler 90% of the time for like a year now. It's time to dress like I have some sense again.

Chatbots β€” LLMs β€” do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re β€œright” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

So...yesterday, I found out that my #PhD funding from the government was terminated so money for survival is now in jeopardy. πŸ™ƒ

If you know of ANY sources of funding, please let me know.

This keeps happening. Departments that would seem to align with RFK Jr.'s agenda on processed foods, additives, toxins and chronic disease get slashed anyway.

After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health. My life’s work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat, and how what we eat affects our physiology.

There are three key facts in the Holocaust Encyclopedia produced by the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. This is the second key fact:

What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

None of this damage by Trump or Musk would be possible without the full and unwavering support of the Republican Party. This is like pretending that the problem with the Civil War was that Jefferson Davis thought too much of himself.

Reskeeting my question below about safety nets being part of the issue since I keep seeing the β€œwhy aren’t we burning shit down like the French would?”

There are a lot of factors that make fighting back en-masse more risky for USiansβ€”including incarceration and death by police.
