Goodnight from NJ. Long-eared Owl.

“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second commandment is ‘Don’t let trans people compete in women’s sports.’” (Matthew 22:37–40)

I am grateful for @adamjkucharski.bsky.social. He takes such care to deconstruct a claim made by the director of National Institutes of Health on excess mortality during the pandemic. We need sober analyses more than ever right now, even amidst the madness. kucharski.substack.com/p/excess-mor...

Not sure how EEOC defines “Jewish?” Are they using the 1935 Nuremberg definition? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/u...

New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like: “The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.” “I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”

Will someone please give this man tetanus?

The man has to go. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I love Mike.

Decades of rigorous and scientifically sound research have proven that vaccines do not cause autism. CDC’s decision to change language on its website reversing that finding is reckless & harmful.

I’ve spent a lot of the last three years investigating the rise of anti-trans politics. Often, it came back to the controversy over trans women athletes. So I teamed up with @pablo.show to look into the leading figure on the issue: Riley Gaines. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... 1/

Sometimes it’s hard to argue with Grok

Public trust is not a renewable resource. Our health agencies must be unwavering in their commitment to evidence, transparency, and integrity. Anything less jeopardizes the public’s ability to make informed decisions and ultimately puts more people at risk.

In related news, the claim ‘the Tooth Fairy does not actually take lost baby teeth from under pillows’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that magical beings are secretly thieving teeth in the dead of night…” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

My father helped liberate Buchenwald w/ the US Army during WWII. This would give him a stroke if he wasn’t already dead.

This video is what set off Trump to call for the execution of seditious Democrats. More unbelievable every day.

What’s next? Maybe antibiotics cause mitochondrial disease. Let’s get rid of all antimicrobials, because if you eat well and swim in Rock Creek, you’ll live forever.

"Your justice has layers. Of course, my favorite musical is the hopeful reimagining of America’s birth, Hamilton. The good news is I work in the room where it happens. The bad news is the room is in hell, and Amy Coney Barrett keeps trying to touch my cowrie shells."

Depressing although good to see an attempt to quantify the damage done to clinical medicine by the current asshats @ NIH. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I am begging y'all to stop sharing excerpts from that book. That woman cannot be embarrassed, as evidenced by her admitting to finding RFK Jr hot in the first place. Sharing her terrible writing only hurts your followers. At the very least, hashtag her so my filters will catch it. 😭

The entire 2nd day, they will be going after Hepatitis B vaccine w/ focus on doing away with the birth dose. Another triumph for end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma!

Big Fact like Big Pharna and Big Ag always lies about the harm it’s doing you.

It’s so hard to get polio these days. Can I interest you in some infant botulism instead?

Oops-meant “get,” altho being het is a definite +

All you have to do to het a director’s job is answer the following questions correctly: 1. Who won the 2020 election? 2. What is the significance of the Great Barrington Declaration? 3. How groovy is Jay?

I am so sure current CDC and NIH leaders can handle this. Just exercise and eat right.

I thought the earlier news from A&M was bad, but this is incredibly bleak. It’s close to the point of not having a functional university.

Where the hell is Oswald Patton?

I seem to remember another pathogen w/ pandemic potential that was first recognized in Washington . . .

🚨 HEADS UP Washington State has reported a suspected human H5N1 case with no cattle exposure likely bird-linked (or from contaminated milk). The patient is severely ill in hospital. Clade pending (D1 vs B3). CDC confirmation awaited. If confirmed, it will be Washington’s first H5N1 case of 2025.

On the event of James Watson's death, I highly recommend this 2023 commentary from @matthewcobb.bsky.social and Nathaniel Comfort with crucial new insights into the discovery of the double helix. (And also check out Cobb's brand new biography of Francis Crick) www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Happy James Watson finally died day.

NEW: On the shadow docket, the Supreme Court lets Trump resume misgendering trans Americans on their passports, claiming "the government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Holy god.

Long live the jury trial in America.

Calling Dr. Kennedy.

So elite he can’t find anyone to do his hair.
