"If we lose they'll expose our lies, corruption, and blatant criminality. If we lose, they will uphold their oaths to defend and protect the constitution of the united states. If we lose, we will face the (long overdue) consequences of our actions." Folks, register to vote.

The founders, in the Treaty of Tripoli -- begun under Washington, signed by Adams, ratified by a Senate filled with other crafters of the Constitution -- said "the Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion." Tom Emmer is a dumb-as-dirt bigot.

You know who else has never assimilated? Everyone who keeps flying that fucking Confederate flag.

So considering that biopharma is absolutely, totally dependent on such regulations and their enforcement, they are choosing to lie very still and hope he won’t notice them. It won’t work. Trump betrays everyone. But no one’s going to be the first to stick their head up. (2/2)

It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.

I am curious if economists (IP economists?) have calculated the exact intersection between uniqueness, scale and value that allows some trade secret information to be both valuable and fence-able?

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

Somebody ought to write a book about how absurd is the idea that white rurals are more “real” than other Americans. Oh, wait, @paulwaldman.bsky.social and I already did—and were *slammed* for even daring to suggest that city folk are just as American as anyone else. share.google/xF7bpcLHF7tL...

Obama: I am not immune to anger or doubt. But I do know this when we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing that voting matters… we open the door to the most ruthless or the most careless, or the most fearful among us who see some groups and some people as more equal than others

The social-isolation socials that @drlcsquare.bsky.social and I ran for almost 2 years is one of the best things I've ever done (IMHO); and that all stemmed from #chemtwitter and the wider community on Twitter. That feeling of community has sadly not been replicated on #ChemSky.

At some point this claim from white rurals and their advocates that "You can't get along with different people" means that they are the different people with whom we cannot get along.

collect into clumps called floccs, and settle to the bottom of the pool. From here, it can be vacuumed into the filters where it can be easily removed with a backwash. So in conclusion, this problem can be solved, and would be solved if they listened to the appropriate scientists. 16/19

The destruction of American public health and its replacement with pseudoscience continues.

I'm begging the media to state this clearly -- we are all in danger now because of the deliberate choices made by Trump's administration and RFK Jr in particular. When the next major outbreak of a preventable disease strikes, they'll point the finger at other people. But it'll be their disaster.

Please watch.

So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them

Science as practiced in its best form is that if you disagree with it, you set up an experiment that would disprove it. If you can't do that, you shut your fucking mouth and learn something.

I suspect you're not at the kind of conference I attend. If someone is speaking too confidently about their scientific research, I can't take them seriously. Expressing doubt about the validity of assumptions is the mark of a good scientist. But that's just like, my opinion, you know.
