Brilliant article sent to me by a friend, which fuels the ever-present back-and-forth in my mind. Given the success of my other work (many multiples of the advances I was offered), do I skip the whole game and publish nontraditionally? thewalrus.ca/the-publishi...

There’s an easier solution: STOP. USING. SPOTIFY.

“The New York State Department of Health is investigating a possible locally acquired case of chikungunya virus,” a department spokeswoman, Danielle De Souza, said in a statement. “No locally acquired cases have ever been reported in New York State, and the risk to the public remains very low.”

I studied and worked in the UK. The legal process was anything but uncontrolled. In fact, it was a colossal pain in the ass.

there is not one person on this site that cannot use this story today

No one should take “acetimetophin”, a chemical that was apparently just invented by this lunatic. Fortunately, acetaminophen remains safe and well-tolerated for most humans. Pass it on.

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

If you think Tylenol magically interacts with the many, many genetic markers of autism, I have a bridge to sell you.

Imagine wasting 25% of your life trying to live longer, instead of just *living*. As a guy who takes care of a lot of elderly people, believe me when I say every one of them would prefer to reclaim 6 hours at age 30, than pull off a 6-hour life extension as an octogenarian.

Many of us have been saying this for a long time. The only question is whether LLM’s are now “too big to fail” given the massive investments currently at risk.

The World Athletics Championships on in Tokyo. Exactly 100 years ago, AV Hill wrote about the physiology of athletic records. He predicted the use of the Fosbury flop/Brill bend technique 40 years before it happened. physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/...

Hi team. If you’re not masking, consider masking up. I’ve had three athletes pop positive in the last week. All of a sudden they stopped training well, they complained of fatigue, their heart rate variability tanked. No symptoms, other than fatigue or fatigue plus headache.

Guess who voted Booby into power?

Why I still buy paper books and vinyl records. I can read without electricity. I can listen to a record (badly!) with a needle and a plastic cup. My point is that analog media can be decoded physically using very low tech means. Now try decoding a zip disc without building a time machine first.

Every parent in America must make sure their kids aren't being brain-poisoned online. What are they seeing in chats? Who are they talking to? What about their friends? What do those random nonsense things they're saying actually mean? This is our job now. Lives depend on it.

“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” Just because the line is misattributed George Orwell doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

Some of y’all forget the reason we have food safety regulations is because companies used to do things like adding chalk to spoiled milk so it looked normal. Regulations don’t exist because governments enjoy them. They exist because pure unadulterated capitalism would kill us.

SO GOOD.

We shouted out Who Killed the Kennedys when after all, it was a Kennedy trying to kill you and me.

Canada Healthwatch has republished my article, "Yes, COVID Vaccines Do Slow Transmission" canadahealthwatch.ca/2025/09/05/y...

Rest assured, if you ever see me selling supplements, it is not to be believed. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/t...

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda How quick we forget.

Results so stunningly clear they inspired this classic xkcd (xkcd.com/2400/):

“.. Kennedy was acting bizarre, saying he can tell as he walks past children if they are dealing with “mitochondrial challenges” .. Can he mysteriously divine illnesses just by looking? “Our health secretary is a certified quack.” @nytopinion.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o...

Hey MSM, ask RFK Jr to define 'inflammation'. Ask him to define 'mitochondria'. Ask him how, specifically, that he can tell how children have 'mitochondrial challenges'. Ask him what, specifically, about children's faces and body movement indicates inflammation. He won't know. He's making shit up.

Professors don't want you to fail. We want you to struggle — and prevail.

Superb class. Come for the teaching, stay for the Entenmann’s.

For anyone that wants a look under the hood of the FPCA paper and model from me and @drphilipskiba.bsky.social the r script and mmp data are available here: drive.google.com/drive/folder... journals.humankinetics.com/view/journal...

One of the easiest ways to think about PCA is in terms of mortality data. Imagine you had a graph of people in Europe and how old they were when they died. You might notice a really weird hump right in the middle of that graph. PCA asks the question….

Fun science project with @captain7bag.bsky.social ! Check it out! We believe this is the first time this technique has been used to analyze power-duration data.

Great value!

One of the most common arguments you hear from fans of generative ‘AI’ is that it’s not plagiarizing people’s work, it’s just learning like a human learns. So I’m going to break down why that’s just not true, and why it can never be true, with the existing systems. 1/
