Hell of a life.

So incredibly proud (and sometimes a little envious!) of my better half, Dan Duane, and his perfect second act as a psychotherapist. He's seeing clients in Hayes Valley or online and also coaching creative people on getting unstuck and reaching their dreams. www.danielduanetherapy.com

"Among his clients is a man who was living in a facility for homeless vets & who was raped as a child & is serving 28 years to life for attacking another vet w his cane. Another is serving 45 years to life for accosting a man on a street & attempting to steal his wallet before the man ran away."

New York Magazine just published an in-depth article about Mark and David Geier, tracing Mark’s professional journey—from his emergence as a prominent anti-vaccine advocate to the controversy that led to the loss of his medical license nymag.com/intelligence...

"That’s a matter between me and my grammarian" — this story is perfect

The son here is leading RFKJr’s #vaccine research team. Sorry, that should be “research.” nymag.com/intelligence...

long loud 👏👏👏👏👏 to @mslaurabliss.bsky.social for this literal and figurative garbage fires ... "or the industry’s preferred phrase is 'elevated temperature landfill,' or ETLF, which operators say has nothing to do with fire." www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Anyway. David Geier is just another person who thinks he somehow knows better than everyone else and doesn't have the ability to critically self-introspect about why he is the way he is, much less do rigorous science

“[David] actually was fairly aggressive with [parents of autistic children] and told them, if you keep bothering me, we’re going to testify that [thimerosal] doesn’t cause [autism] and you’re really hurting the issue.” -Mark Geier, David’s father Think we can annoy David into telling the truth?

when ppl talk about Freud they are usually talking about the legacy of Freudian thought, and fair enough, but you do have to allow that the title of his 1912 essay “On the Universal Tendency to Debasement in the Sphere of Love” is all-time

If you have a spare half an hour or so, read this incredibly fascinating article debunking that viral podcast The Telepathy Tapes. The podcast says autistic non verbal people can communicate with telepathy, which isn't true. www.thecut.com/article/tele... also CW: Talk of SA

‘I Can Hear Thoughts’ A podcast called The Telepathy Tapes claims a group of nonspeaking autistic people can read minds. The truth is more complicated. www.thecut.com/article/tele...

I wrote a piece for @nymag.com about a viral podcast called The Telepathy Tapes — though it's really about longing, language, out-of-body-and-mind parental love, and how skepticism is an artifact of good luck. www.thecut.com/article/tele...

Well this was a fucking ride archive.is/0SrwO

The megahit podcast ‘The Telepathy Tapes’ has sold many parents on the idea that their nonverbal autistic children might have an otherworldly gift. But the truth is more complicated. @lizweil.bsky.social reports: www.thecut.com/article/tele...

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC. Nazism has officially taken over the GOP. The few remaining conservatives have a choice: either leave the party and obstruct it—or choose to be complicit.

Some other kid learned from their parents to build houses or code and my daughter wrote a profile for her college magazine and is fighting with her editor about a nut graf. 🤣 🤣 🤣

I know Stathis. He was a colleague of mine at the University of Chicago. He is a pretty buttoned-down scholar. For him to tweet this out is… something.
