Are anti-vaxxers aware that if we stop vaccinating, and these preventable diseases come back, then Big Pharma will become Bigger Pharma? - Sci-gasm Podcast

You really need to watch this whole clip. It's amazing.

I find the vertical format annoying, but this is pretty good.

There are people who simply believe wrong things. They aren't stupid, they've just been misled or never learned how to think critically. And there are also people who are just incandescently stupid.

There are more instances of United States Citizens being detained by ICE than there are of illegal immigrants voting in elections.

A master class in how to analyze claims.

How did I not know that Jacob and Becca had collaborated?

If you're interested in art, computers, history, or the future you need to read Alvy's book. Here you can get an idea of his voice.

This is what RFK, Jr. celebrates. Along with all of his MAHA flying monkeys.

Poe’s Law rules the universe.

I got fed up with populist memes falsely claiming immigrants aren't entitled to due process — a perspective betraying a shocking ignorance of the Constitution and what the US is (or should be) all about as a nation. Today on my Substack:

The rest is silence. #movies #filmsky

There may be no evidence that any god has ever existed, but at least the arguments Christians put forward are nonsense.

Uh -- Wow.

A nice overall view - visit me here at table #51, the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds, 344 Tully Road in San Jose! I’ll be here ‘til 4PM.

It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again. #movies #filmsky

Here comes Daylight Stupid Time. It's bad for your health and inherently wrong, but at least it keeps the golfing and retail lobbies happy.

How much can you geek out about disc golf? At least this much.

Shiny.

Elsa and the kids crushed this. Love the old-school plunger mute.

And miles to go before I sweep. #IYKYK

Poe's Law rules the universe.

This is long (even at 2x) but it's a great conversation. You could start at 1:45 where the acupuncture part starts and still have a very valuable set of lessons.

Stand Up For Science Founder & CEO Colette Delawalla states three demands: 1. Remove RFK Jr. 2. Reinstate the American Dream of Science. 3. Science should be driven by scientists not political appointees. Join the fight! standupforscience.net/march7

Send these fuckers to The Hague.

Get off my lawn. #movies #filmsky

I can only hope that he is able to reach some Christians this way.

Your job is to pick the worst possible actor to play James Bond. Go!

No Means No! If you don’t want Casey Means to be Surgeon General, you can write to your Senators in 2 minutes or less with @defendpublichealth.bsky.social’s handy form. A fun Friday night activity for the whole family!

There's some hope for Florida.

If you're someone who likes to occasionally reference famous/infamous quotes in your Bluesky posts and you're not already following @quoteinvestigator.com (or using his website database), I have only one question: Why not? He's the real deal when it comes to researching proper attribution.

Red is the color of lust, but green is what lust leaves behind, in heart, in womb. Green is what is left when ardor fades, when passion dies, when we die, too. #movies #filmsky

"Screw Covid, I'm going to Sturgis!" The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, held in August 2020, was the epitome of the individual choice mindset. Of course it spread cases outward and caused infections, illness, and death. A new research paper allows us to watch the Sturgis Covid wave spread across the US.

Who could have seen that coming? #LiterallyEverybody

Buckle up.

This is Button. His family decided he was ready to be left home alone for the first time today. As it turns out, freedom can be a little awkward. 12/10 (TT: beginningwithbutton)

Dr. Jacobs is not wrong, but she's being far to kind to Kennedy. No matter how vile you think he is, he always turns out to be worse. The phrase "vaccine skeptic" needs to be retired.

Basically, what the Department of Justice argued in court today was that RFK Jr. has the absolute authority to kill millions of people with impunity. I do not exaggerate.

I think that the formal legal term for what happened here is "pwned".

I'm flying so high not even the angels can catch me! #movies #film letterboxd.com/clgood/film/...

Watch a jazz musician discover the Beach Boys.

A very moving science story.

Physics Girl is back!!!

Isn't it beautiful? We're still here. #movies #filmsky

Influencers are shills. Supplements are snake oil. So they're really snake oil shills.

Adolpho didn't lie when he told us he used candles. But he was clever about it.

Gee, you'd never guess that she's a writer.
