Every major news organization should be producing and promoting something along the lines of "Erratic and volatile president threatens to restart his war of aggression against Iran and order massive assault on civilian infrastructure, a possible war crime. Who will tell him no?"
Why I care about other people's vaccination status I see some version of this question a lot across social media: why do you care about my child's vaccination status if you/your loved ones are vaccinated? Here’s my answer. Deplatform Disease
It's been a minute since I've uploaded anything on my blog (I'm sorry—it's been chaos) but here's one that I've wanted to get out for a little bit:

Only for women, probably.
Hey, I've got new products out! You can get them now!
Do you like spaceships? How about building worlds for RPGs? :)
Downthread, there's also Nexus Journal #1, which has a very detailed world you could put into any Traveller game.
Listen, if a Bad President can come in and take away our rights and we're dependent on a Good President replacing them in four years to give us back our rights, then we do not have any rights. If politicians can take or distribute them, then they're not "inalienable" and they're not "rights." We don't have inalienable rights. We have conditional privileges, divvied out according to the whims of whomever currently holds the reins. And we want to have actual rights, then we must build a system in which no one ahs the power to take them away to begin with.
The biggest lie the government ever told was that your rights exist at their sufference, that certain protected classes (cops) have more rights than you do, and that other classes (black people, immigrants, trans people, women) have fewer rights than you do.
Human rights are non-negotiable.
Despite its branding, the flu pandemic of 1918 was partially centered at FT Riley in Kansas, not Spain! Us Army Soldiers were primary vectors for spreading the disease.
So, to keep prudish asshole members of a cult from having the vapors, Ohio is making it illegal for women to wear a sports bra or tights in public.
This standard will *never* be applied to men. It's only used to control women.
Government bounties on Christian prudes need to exist.
But the Libertarians assured me that removing government regulations, or the abilty to enforce government regulations, would lead to everyone becoming wealthy and living in utopia!
“This is a systemic violent act, to be detaining children, that has long-term consequences,” Kelley said. “It’s massively detrimental to the well-being of these families and our whole communities.”
So, he's said everyone with a chronic, treatable illness (like diabetes) deserves to be cleansed from society.
Aktion T4 time.
I want a law that pays bounties to people who find church officiants failing to follow the teachings of Christ in welcoming the foreigner, feeding the hungry, and failing to comfort prisoners.
If we pass laws to prevent religious offense, we should pass laws restricting religious offenses.
Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.
HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.
I'm old enough to remember when Hunter Biden was constantly in the news for making $0.6 million in salary from Burisma, a job he supposedly got because his father was Vice President. His dong got entered into the Congressional Record.
Anyone else remember that, or is it just me?
Oh dear God. Do not use this for pranks.
The people who deal with radiological hazards are justifiably paranoid, have senses of humor about their profession that are harder to detect than free-flying neutrinos, and feel like nobody listens to them.
@funranium.bsky.social can confirm.

Thank you for the correction! Noted!
You've made this, right Matt?
Given how Christian Nationalism is a big part of US "conservatism?" I'd be unsurprised.
There are more Christian Zionists in the US than there are Jews in the US and Israel combined. Christian Zionism wants Jews to control Jerusalem so Jesus will return and 99.99% of humanity gets killed.
lol doesn't the government also do this
WELL NOW, would you look at that?
A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.
"None of my friends stand to make start-up money from climate change, while I can help them cash out of the AI bubble as Fed Chairman." -- what he'd answer under the Lasso of Hestia.
Not that we aggressively did anti-trust post Eisenhower, but by the time of Attorney General Robert Bork, we decided the only ill effect we cared about was consumer pricing. And stopped enforcing anti-trust much at all in the mid-80s.
She had 35 *years* of harm to undo. In four.
I wanted Biden re-elected to give Lina Khan four more years And maybe give her every lawyer in government service to cut through our corporate oligarchies like the horde of the Great Khan.
"Go ahead, Mr. Jassy. Move Amazon's warehouses out of the country." the Khan smiled. It didn't reach her eyes.
The institution least accountable to voters, which refuses to abide by the same "receiving gifts standards" that all lower courts do, where three justices have spouses who have profited from business interests entangled with the courts...objects to journalism curtailing government action.
"They also don't judge my love of 13-year old girls who give topless massages which I *definitely* keep my underpants on."
The lessons of the past are always waiting while eugenicists like RFK Jr walk around breathing free air...
“What I didn’t know was that measles can cause long-term complications. A child can seem fine while the virus slowly replicates in her brain… Because both Britain and the United States are confronting outbreaks, I am sharing my story. Parents should know just how dangerous this disease is.”

Clothes were a mistake.
28 C is comfortable nudist temperatures!
High cycle life, extremely low internal resistance resulting in very low energy loss and heat generation. Large operating temperature range. No cobalt or nickel (possibly copper in the cathode, but unlikely since there are alternatives).
And 160 Wh/kg is very similar to LFP in energy storage.
