This reveals something fundamental.
RFK doesn’t grasp he’s the medical establishment now.
It’s not his job to judge who caused this epidemic (though we all know who).
It’s his job to stop it.
He’s failing.
Q: Can you explain the computer log in issue? Your lawsuit contends you were not able to log in
PATEL: Survey -- how many of you people believe that's true?
Q: Did you communicate that you thought you were fired?
PATEL: It never happened. You are lying.
Q: The lawsuit says the opposite!
Oh my god, OpenAI reinvented Recall, but for macOS.
"Chronicle" is an opt-in feature that scans your screen, saves screenshots temporarily, and sent to OpenAI's servers.
Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “The Texas gerrymander freak out. What’s happening in Texas is not a threat to democracy.”
Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss. The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it.”
The Washington Post Editorial Board was fine with Republicans gerrymandering in Texas.
But when Democrats responded in Virginia, it’s a “power grab” that “plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss.”
This is exactly how Democrats used to talk about Republican redistricting back when Rs were handily winning the partisan gerrymandering wars (and thus rejecting Dem federal legislation to prohibit it).
This is the thing, if "academia" wanted to stop this, we could easily tomorrow. Over 3 incorrect references? Rejected and forbidden to submit next year.
The purpose of a system is what it does!
In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.
249 years later, we have this idiot.
According to previous anti-vax cycles (it is a recurrent cycle, an outbreak of hysteria every 50 years or so) the antivax fever will end after mass death of children. That usually does it. One would think we could skip the mass sacrifice, but no. We won't. #MedSky
The currently escalating tech backlash must be put in the context of:
“people have been listening to the most insufferable techbros in the world gleefully threaten everyone else with mass unemployment for over 6 years, and they’re sick of their shit”
accountability
Again: young people might not realize that this kind of repugnant racism was unacceptable to express publicly, *not that long ago*.
I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.
WE Pay for
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.
There's a *ton* of things I'm super worried about with respect to AI, and some of the genuinely very big systemic changes that are coming down the road because of it. But finding memory corruption bugs in platforms? It's impressive. It's important. But it's not "omg cyberpocalypse". Cool your jets.
Christian Nationalism is a Cult of Convenience
"You're spending taxpayer dollars to drink milk shirtless in a hot tub with Kid Rock. Somehow you think that's a better public health message than informing the public about the benefits of vaccines. Really? -- Rep. Linda Sanchez to RFK Jr
Here's the article which includes the actual interview in question. Yes, he absolutely said this and yes, it's in context.

Screenshot of a New York Times article that says: '2 hours ago. John Ismay. Covering the Pentagon. Hegseth has said before that U.S. troops are fighting for military victory in Iran “in the name of Jesus Christ.” During the news conference he again cast the war in explicitly Christian terms. He compared the rescue of two downed F-15 crew members inside Iran to biblical miracles. And he compared reporters in the Pentagon press corps to the Pharisees who criticized Jesus Christ.'
U.S. troops don’t fight wars “in the name of Jesus Christ.” They serve the Constitution. At least, that’s the idea.
President Trump has repeatedly said his deals with drugmakers would bring down prescription drug prices in the U.S. But a report released by Senate Democrats finds prices have continued to climb in some cases, sharply.
Pete Hegseth quoted a fake Bible verse from the Tarantino movie Pulp Fiction yesterday during a Pentagon prayer service
Europe has “maybe 6 weeks or so (of) jet fuel left,” the head of the International Energy Agency says in a wide-ranging Associated Press interview, warning of possible flight cancellations “soon” if oil supplies remain blocked by the Iran war.
How about just not saying anything remotely religious in relation to government things, including war.
France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.
Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars
The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.
Why aren't we doing this?
what’s funny about this is that tarantino wrote this “ezekiel 25:17“ for the film. it isn‘t actually in the bible. publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...
