I suggest the “wheels on the bus” test for politicians everywhere.

If you can’t do it because you come across as creepy, weird or awkward, then you shouldn’t be allowed to run.

I guarantee that all the problems in the world would disappear if those who failed the test were kicked out of office.

That's horrible. They continued to run my actor friend's ad for them without compensating him as specified by the contract. They always seemed really sketchy after that, but this is really egregious.

I'm not sure if you are a disinformation troll, but in a gunfight that's 10 law enforcement agents against 1 civilian it is extremely unlikely that the civilian will be the one left standing.

You're saying that she should have carried a gun and shot him first? Unfortunately I think a lot of these ICE agents took the job for the money, and the worse the economy gets the more people will abandon their morals for an income.

The regime would say she fired first and use it to justify an even more totalitarian crackdown.

She didn't try to run anyone over. And there was no reason why they couldn't have just shot her tires if they wanted to apprehend her. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

A friend my age recently died from a respiratory infection, and many other friends and family have reported getting sicker than usual. Get vaxed if you can!

AlphaFold is pretty legit! I would say amino acid/nucleotide sequences are some of the best use cases. But in general the AI hype is dumb. If you don't tell me*how* you use AI in the pitch I'm assuming you shoehorned it in unnecessarily.

US Supreme Court lets Trump cut diversity-related NIH grants The U.S. Supreme Court let President Donald Trump's administration on Thursday proceed with sweeping cuts to National Institutes of Health grants for research related to racial minorities or LGBT people, part of his crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and transgender identity.

There is no solace for NIH funded researchers in this Supreme Court decision. Grants that were ripped away on dubious grounds, restored by a reasonable judge are now again terminated by an out-of-control Supreme Court. Labs will shutter, people will lose jobs. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...
