Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

RFK Jr: I terminated the COVID vaccines because it didn’t make any sense. COVID is gone.
Note: From July 2024 to June 2025 in the US, COVID19 caused up to 450,000 hospitalizations and 53,000 deaths.
COVID ain’t gone, shitbird.

“Even if the actual emissions from these power plants end up being half of the emissions numbers on the permits, they still could create more greenhouse gas emissions than the country of Norway emitted in 2024.”
In case you’re wondering about the Zeitgeist, The Camp of the Saints is currently #19 overall in books on Amazon.
The key thing about the Bluesky team is their singular lack of professionalism. They just don't act like people who run a business that operates a commercial website, they act like users of that site. They're still not willing to give up the idea that this is a clubhouse for Rationalist freaks.
