The anti-vax movement's wildest claim yet: Polio wasn't so bad Add this to vaccines make you magnetic, cause AIDS, and measles is not a big deal.

Black Death was also way overblown. Boccaccio was a shill for the Florentine oligarchs.

For Expertise to Matter, Nonpartisan Institutions Need New Communications Strategies To avoid irrelevance when they are needed most, experts and nonpartisan analysts must rethink not just their channels of communication but also their theory of influence.

Last week @rachelkleinfeld.bsky.social and I put out a provocation & set of suggestions on how influence has changed and why institutions (& funders) need to change their thinking on shaping public opinion and connecting w/audiences. The old way no longer works.

PragerU Targets Kids and Parents with Shockingly Bad Science If weโ€™re trying to understand our era, we need to recognize the following: mainstream institutions and their various consensuses are being replaced by fringe alternatives. In the United States right n...

The fetishization of the subversiveโ€”the next Galileo, or Einstein, or Teslaโ€”is something PragerU is intent on teaching not just to adults but to kids as well.

I had a look at the science/med content on PragerU for @mcgilloss.bsky.social.

The contradictions are wild.

His interview on PragerU (view count: 3.4 million) is filled with preposterous falsehoods meant to reveal him to be a singular freethinker who asks questions no one has dared to ask before. On the topic of diabetesโ€”and keep in mind that he is a doctor who specializes in a surgical intervention for type 1 diabetesโ€”he boldly states that diabetics are simply given insulin and that no one tells them to try lowering their sugar levels by watching what they eat. Has he been living under a rock for most of his life? Earlier, he rhetorically asked how to even teach ethics to doctors in training. The interviewer turned the question back at him: โ€œAre they even taught these things?โ€ His incredible answer? โ€œIโ€™m not aware of it.โ€ The School of Medicine at his own university, Johns Hopkins, has a first-year course for its medical students literally called โ€œFoundations of Public Health: Epidemiology, Ethics & Health Care.โ€ To claim that medical students are not taught ethics is either a gonzo lie or a sign of a disqualifying lack of knowledge.

He's right, and it's not just Brazil.

Around the world, at least 31 democratic leaders who committed similar crimes have been jailed or banned from office since 2010. The failure to hold Trump accountable in the US was a unique and systemic failure of our institutions and political culture.

You will never live up to the standards of bad-faith extremists actively seeking to get you fired. Whatever documents you turn over will be used to punish
you - theyโ€™ll never serve to exonerate you. Learn from the history.

STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN ON THE PARDON OF LGBTQI+ SERVICE MEMBERS WRONGLY CONVICTED

Today, I am righting an historic wrong by using my clemency authority to pardon many former service members who were convicted simply for being themselves. Our Nation's service members stand on the frontlines of freedom, and risk their lives in order to defend our country. Despite their courage and great sacrifice, thousands of LGBTQI+ service members were forced out of the military because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Some of these patriotic Americans were subject to court-martial, and have carried the burden of this great injustice for decades.

As Commander in Chief, I am committed to maintaining the finest fighting force in the world. That means making sure that every member of our military is safe and respected - so they can focus on their mission.

This is about dignity, decency, and ensuring the culture of our Armed Forces reflect the values that make us an exceptional nation. We have a sacred obligation to all of our service members - including our brave LGBTQI+ service members: to properly prepare and equip them when they are sent into harm's way, and to care for them and their families when they return home. Today we are making progress in that pursuit.

Just a reminder of one of the things Joe Biden did for us last Pride. He pardoned all the LGBT+ service members wrongly convicted. We've gone from this, to a President and administration that seeks to ban LGBT+ service members all together. The two sides are NOT the same. #Pride #LGBT
