The appeal of alt medicine isn’t ’capitalism alienated us from healing ‘ or whatever, it’s that it has no evidential foundation so it can make claims like ‘ouchie needles are bad for you but yummy milkshakes are good’

Someone was shot yesterday in the liquor store parking lot next to our homes. Neighbors trade details in the alley but don't get further than someone was shot yesterday in the liquor store parking lot next to our homes.

This is your fault, Martha’s Vineyard dinner party hosts. If only you had been as nice as the people on Epstein Island, this poor beleaguered man would still be cited on Fox News as “even liberal Alan Dershowitz.” But not anymore. You just had to take it too far.

I wrote a whole book about AI but I agree with this completely — and also the implication that there are countless other areas of research more important than AI.

Not true at all.

Most striking to me about these memos is the radically different assessment of the harm imposed by the president not being able to pursue his initiatives. Over the last 15 mos., that harm has in numerous cases been treated as almost per se serious and irreparable. Here, it gets no analysis at all.

Lather, rinse, repeat

Got bored tonight, so I downloaded 3 hours worth of Earthcam replay / archive footage from their Skydeck camera atop of the Willis Tower (Sears Tower) in Chicago and made a time lapse of the fog rolling in off Lake Michigan. Good illustration of how our atmosphere behaves like any other fluid. #ilwx

whale head. raccoon penis. it's glaringly obvious that rfk jr is assembling some sort of Super Animal... and i fear he may soon acquire flamingo legs

And thus I clothe my naked villainy
With odd old ends stol’n forth of holy writ,
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.

JUST IN: John Eastman, the conservative attorney who helped devise President Trump's last ditch strategy to overturn the 2020 presidential election, has officially been disbarred, per the California Supreme Court:

The Future of Book Reviews

Two odious little men in search of a balcony from which to ignore our booing. Let them fight. Both have zero base and zero appeal and should spend their post trump years entirely in the company of crushingly expensive defense lawyers.

Of course he's a doctor. He's holding the flashlight he thought would cure covid if you shined it up your ass.

We need to get Schumer tf out of here if we take the senate

In the near future, when China is the world's preeminent power and our influence is negligible, everyone is going to, understandably, blame Trump. But four decades of GOP governments prioritizing fossil fuels and throwing up stupid roadblocks to renewable energy is the real culprit.

Trump is failing so badly because he has rejected the Constitution. He honestly believes he is smarter than everyone and an expert on everything. Reality, however, exposes that delusional thinking every day.

Opinion | Beware conservatives promoting “intellectual freedom” Victor Ray: This conservative lie about schools like mine is furthering authoritarianism

Making tenure count, for MSNOW I wrote about my employer, The University of Iowa, creating a center for intellectual freedom. It's a reactionary project built on decades of conservative propaganda about higher ed.

Melania Trump: Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump.

Melania Trump: “I met my husband by chance at the New York City party in 1998.”

Melania Trump: “The first time I crossed paths with Epstein was in the year 2000”

Melania Trump: “at an event Donald and attended together.”

Melania: “Jeffery Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump. My husband, Donald Trump, introduced me to Jeffery Epstein. Please write that down.”

Dolly Madison stands at a lectern with notes

That time Dolly Madison held an impromptu press conference asking everyone to stop talking about her snack cakes.

I wonder if she knows Barbra Streisand.

Pope Leo: “This is un acceptable. There are certainly questions of international law but even more than this a question of morality for the good of people. Attacks on civilian infrastructure are against international law, but it is also a sign of the hatred and division that we are capable of.”

“Parliament had turned over its constitutional authority to Hitler and thereby committed suicide, though its body lingered on in an embalmed state.”

to be clear, the civilization that will die tonight if Trump tries to annihilate Iran will be that of the United States, the one he has always degraded most relentlessly and most successfully

"20 yrs ago the world took a year to add 1 gigawatt of solar.
Now it takes just half a day.

Solar costs have fallen by around 90% over past decade, & as costs fall, installations accelerate.

Nowhere is this clearer than in China 🇨🇳. It now accounts for well over half of global solar installations"
