The single most defining thing Elon Musk has ever done is killing untold numbers of people by having DOGE illegally raid and disband USAID. Not rickets, not cars, not even the CSAMbot on X. Itās this, and so many media pundits just choose to unsee it.

One of the things I love about Icelandic is how easy it is to make up words by just cramming other words together to make a new one. The word "kjörklefakúkari" for example, means "a person who poops inside voting booths" and yes, we have that word for a reason.

The lab leak continues to be one of the most worrying cases of mass conspiratorial thinking in America. Zero evidence for it, but the right is frothing at the mouth to imprison anyone even remotely involved with COVID origins research and the center still thinks it's important to ask questions.

The parallels between what's happening in US science and 1930s Germany are indeed chilling, and McNutt's remarks (mentioned in The Nation piece) are an example of this. I had never expected, or hoped, that the book would become quite this relevant.
