RFK Jr.'s claim that COVID vaccines are deadly? Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. In this new extraordinarily large study, vaccinated individuals had a 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19 and a 25% lower risk of all-cause mortality compared to those unvaccinated. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

/2 AIso it did not occur to me that a person could use his blog to publish all the letters to the editor that the papers would not publish I will be back in about six months

Burrito is high as hell on catnip when she’s supposed to be going over CasCoin attestations. So disappointing.

Five years ago I caught my dumbest ban

Voting for Trump’s judicial appointees is fundamentally working to help the fascists consolidate their regime. That is a simple and straightforward description of that behavior. Many Democrats have assisted the fascists in consolidating their regime.

The hilarious thing about AV is the obvious course of events: 1.) Morons/grifters promise a tech that turns out to be intractable: too many edge cases, too many censors needed, models are all shit. 2.) Morons eventually say "fuck it" and just substitute tele-operation a big chunk of the time.

The aurora last night in Beaver, Alaska was just incredible. This is a real-time video (not sped up) of the crazy motion I saw. Also, look how BRIGHT it is, wow!

Fanboys of these broadly-fake technologies are always insincere in their critiques. The discourse here is that Waymo is, clearly, lying about their reliance on tele-operation. Such over-reliance means the tech is, broadly, fake. This is a correct assessment, as the SF blackout breakdown attests.

YES. The holodeck is the laziest device ever.

Which is what ultimately turned me off to TNG. Um, you're a SciFi story, you don't need a plot device to allow more plots. Lazy, lazy, lazy writing.

I knew I'd have a problem with TNG the minute I saw the set. It was like a talk show set on a starship. It's a fargin' heavy cruiser, with a full compliment of ass-kicking weapons. Put the barcaloungers away, get the kids to a star base, and fire Wesley from an airlock.

The Air Recon Unit of the 35th Marine Brigade has been trying to close this fundraiser to return their vehicles to service since the beginning of the year, but it’s still not finished. 🎯 Still needed: $3,000

At @protos.com we specifically downloaded the files we relied on for our article and offered them to the public because we had a sneaking suspicion the DOJ would start taking down information. I’m glad we did it! protos.com/brock-pierce...

Internal White House meetings going on, like, "Hopefully the racism will distract from the pedophilia which will distract from the killings which will distract from the pedophilia again which will distract from the economy which will distract from the pedophilia a third time"

BREAKING: New reaction from Leader Jeffries to the racist Trump video: "This disgusting video posted by the so-called president was done intentionally. Fuck Donald Trump and his vile, racist, and malignant behavior. This guy is an unhinged bottom feeder."

You might as well ask “Why did Leavitt say we were at war with Eurasia when just yesterday she was saying we were at war with Eastasia?” She gave whatever the loyal answer was in that specific minute.

Why did Karoline Leavett say it was a fun meme and not racist? Were they lying then or a few hours later These people man ....

In a remotely sane universe, this would be disqualifying and career-ending. The political world would recoil, and the fundamental decency of the America people would be outraged. The raw rancid racism is neither a joke nor a close call. In Trump’s world… open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

WTF?

Back in 2016, Paul Ryan described one of Trump's comments (about a Hispanic judge) as "textbook racism". Yet here we are, 10 years later.

But now would anyone be surprised if whoopsie turns out OpenAI is a stack of cards? Oh no, unattested Tether might be doing goofy stuff with reserves? Should I even bring up Tesla? What is fraud? What is winning in business? Are they different?

At my city council meeting at it's mind boggling. They have been debating a trash route change for years, and they haven't even provided basic numbers that justify why they are doing this. And it is wildly unpopular. Yet the department simply waves it hands about vague statements about "safety".

See, first Bitfinex — which was originally a Ponzi scheme started by a French hacker but was then purchased by Giancarlo Devasini, a former Italian plastic surgeon who also sold unauthorized copies of Windows— Literally everyone: whatever bro

Me watching @cascoinfoundation.org foundation dig out receipt after receipt from the files that might as well say "I am complicit in sex crimes" with an autographed polaroid selfie of the perpetrator

The story of Tether and Bitfinex, particularly the early years, is fascinating. Bitfinex was literally started by a young Ponzi schemer in his basement. Tether was thought up by Brock Pierce and Craig Sellars. The Italian plastic surgeon and Phil Potter bought it later and never disclosed it.

Also I’ve never seen the movie, but ScarJo looks young to me

This guy wasn’t setting up deals for Epstein on the side, he was doing it from his goddamn New York Times email account. Leadership has absolutely no excuse.

I don’t expect the major media outlets to share the spotlight, I’ve been doing this too long, I just wish they did. FWIW I was the first one to publicly share that Coinbase founders knew that Epstein invested, yall saw it before anyone else! Scoop city over here. bsky.app/profile/casc...

If you don't want me to say you were staying in a house full of child pornography with your pedophile friend when he was arrested by Spanish authorities, then don't go to Spain with your fugitive pedophile friend

Guys I have an offer: you donate to this fundraiser (we have 16k left to collect) and we save Ukrainian lives in return how does that sound chat dzygaspaw.com/monokate-and...
