Scott is the greatest person left from Eric Davidson's dynasty.

I so loved Eric and miss him often.

To me, this would be hilarious if it weren't so stupid.
Maybe it can be both hilarious and stupid!

I do not think that Wall Street will permit Trump and the Republicans to go back to war.

And so, another a huge hole in the mask of invincibility.

How Iran got wrecked but defeated the aims of the US and Israel, and created financial fallout.

I am the guy who refused to shake John Danforth's (Priest and Senator's) hand during a Street Fair on Washington St. in U. City. John Danforth gave us Clarence Thomas. Really, many reprehensible yahoos hide in the Midwest.

In truth, St. Louis was only bearable (pun) for me as long as I could take frequent trips to Chicago, New York, and most importantly, Boston. Later, after living in LA and San Francisco, I found I needed the latter also. The Midwest gave us Trump and the New South. I am not interested.

I disagree. Free flowing hate and greed are signs and symptoms of qualifying mental illness under the 25th.

The problem is that Congress has no backbone and favors the loss of democracy over lawfulness.

The Supreme Court is worse.

The US has proved it is an uncivil bunch of heathens.

These are not predictors, they are retrospective associations. Doctors overstating their conclusions endanger the whole of medicine.

ask @jay.bsky.team

When did a federal official (RFK, Jr) admit that a health policy (measles vaccine) ever actually killed people and remain in his post?

I would say, never.

whoever the Republican think they represent, I am not included in their scheme.

They are, to use one of Mark Twain's favorite words, scoundrels in every sense of the word.

The fate of academic careers is decided in the dark, and the process is political, not based on merit or reason (“so vicious precisely because the stakes are so small”).
AI is a black box? Come on... I’m a million times more afraid of humans than I am of AI, and in academia that’s doubly true.

I hope Orban's loss marks a turn toward democracy.

Do people ever ask themselves, why, on this beautiful planet, they are spending time defending a system where 12 billionaires have the same amount of wealth as 4.5 billion people

Orban is cheating in every way he can. Don't discount his criminal behavior to stay in office.

Americans are stupid enough to believe that we didn't lose this war with Iran.

Most Americans have had their minds bent by the right-wing wealthy.

It is we who have lost our civilization.

One of my high school buddies is a former Federal Judge and insists that his chums, like Gorsuch, present a credible point of view. My judge friend was always left-of-center and still is!

But he legitimizes Gorsuch.

We are drowning with no life preserver.

I am not new-ish to science.

Genetics is a very expensive, technology-dependent field.

I urge students to attend medical school and become clinicians.

Being a lifelong poor scientist is surely a very painful way to live.

One of my instructors at Woods Hole in 1978 wrote me today to express fear and loathing about the generational catastrophe of losing so many women scientists.

David, my instructor, eventually took that path of commercial environmental engineering and made a great deal of money.

Do Science? Why?

APL --> Fusion --> ATRA
CML --> Ph+ --> Gleevec
GIST --> KIT or PDGFRA --> Gleevec
AML --> DNMT3A --> complicated story

If only Arthur Finkelstein's political heirs would accept the defeat of their ethnofascist Ayn Rand campaign to smash democracy worldwide.

If only the Pope would directly address the Catholic members of SCOTUS and Ross Douthat.

Those are among the major sources of warmongering and advocating for a "Christian Nation".

Pope Leo is light-years ahead of these false preachers.

Furthermore, I do NOT believe the Bureau of Labor Statistics anymore.

Why would anyone believe the BLS employment statistics at this late date?

Of course, the Trumpies are fucking with the statistics. Of course.

Our leader has made $4.00+ gas the new normal, as the price of oil has stabilized and the price of gold is increasing.

He strongly believes in the stock market bubble and crypto which are bound to diminish in value and are largely a mirage.

Inflation will take much of America's wealth short term.

I think Microsoft Windows is a terrible operating system.

Of course, he was correct.

He understood how hard it is to cure racism.

I wonder if the ascendant Chinese are going to give Elsevier billions.

I doubt it.

The US and UK will be left in the dust.

Trump's lawsuit against the IRS must be one of those "official acts" that John Roberts tells us has "complete immunity".

Another way of saying this is that John Roberts is an accessory to Grand Theft and the President is a felon of the highest order.

I guess you were looking for validation, found it, and don't care what anyone else thinks.

I got your number.
