Artemis II lunar mission draws flood of conspiracy theories www.philstar.com/lifestyle/on...
Me: "The moon landing is an example of a conspiracy that will not die."
"These conspiracies are attractive for a host of reasons including that they are linked to the allure of having secret knowledge..."
That’s not how the trolly problem is supposed to go…

Well done
Saw him last year, amazing
A very good Watson obit here, written, though obviously not published, years before he died.
That is me exactly as well.
Love this quote 💯
Ways to resist fascism. Drawing of a megaphone : once you have properly identified fascist rhetoric, don’t let it go unchallenged. Speak up when you witness attempts to normalize it. Picture of a book titled "resist". Knowledge is power. Learn, read, discuss about fascism and the ways fascist discourses can permeate culture and find its way in everuday conversations. Picture of someone doing a roman salute. Many hands are pointing at him. Laugh at fascists and their ideas. Take every opportunity to subject them to ridicule. The power people give them largely stems from sentimentaalinen of fear and inevitability, but they are all incompetent, insecure cowards. Picture of a button press. Most importantly, get involved in your community. Find roles for yourself and others. You might not topple a fascist government today, but you can find purpose and strength to live to fight another day.

“Vote purple: we’re just so embarrassed”
Got x2 vaxed yesterday (flu and covid), woke up at 7 am with a sore arm and did laundry. Trust the science. Vaccines cause clean clothes.

These fools are going to kill a lot of people.
You’ll have to chew off the arm.
This will likely be the pattern, vaccines available in blue states only. Some dems will likely be smug about that, but I suggest they consider sick and dead kids in red states first.
So, Pre-Crime? And what exact is meant by “Israeli grade ontology”?
The chaos at the CDC in the wake of last week’s firing of its Director and the resignations of four senior officials is fallout from the latest skirmish in RFK Jr.’s war against vaccines. Make no mistake, RFK Jr. is working hard to take away your vaccines, if he can. Here’s a progress report.
“Wellness has come to represent a wonderland free from constraints of scientific scrutiny. The industry flows with pseudoscience & to say it’s lucrative would be an understatement…The term has morphed into dollar signs, drawing us into a never-ending cycle of treating problems we didn’t know we had”
Also, right-wing domestic terrorism far outnumbers left-wing. Don't let the right-wingers control the message.

That’s so much worse than just being a mindless stooge.
Spot on!
someone should put together a "kennedy death count" for everyone who dies of a preventable disease and just plaster it everywhere www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c...
This is a great read.

That was the working title of my last book (but the editor talked me out of it).
Good for her, and for Boston.
