havent been online much but i cannot wait to read about the absolute bloodletting that must be happening right now in elite america for anyone that we learned was friendly with the worlds most notorious child rapist following conviction god, just all the ceos that have probably already been fired

It's not new information that just saying "no" works but for some reason, many institutions have been paying the full ransom immediately

As many of you know, I adore sci-fi for so many reasons, but especially because it depicts a world beyond the one we have now. I talked to @jamesfolta.com at Lit Hub about it late last year but I’m always looking for new recs: lithub.com/congressiona...

Liebe Medien, "Sozialreformen" ist ein Unwort. Reform hieß mal: Verbesserung, Fortschritt, etwas zum Besseren verändern. Heute ist es Neusprech für Kürzungen, Abbau, Privatisierung. Eure Sprache dreht die Realität um. Ehrlicher wäre: Sozialkürzungen, Leistungsabbau, Entsolidarisierung. Nennt es so.

As I said last night about the measles outbreak at ICE detention facilities, I don’t much trust “ICE Health Services Corps”. See how the language on their website has changed. Old language (L), Mengelian language (R). From direct patient care to “assessing alien’s [sic] fitness” to be deported.

GOP #Sen.RandPaul on #AlexPretti: “I saw a man that was retreating...if you come in and you're going to justify that this man was aggressively assaulting your police officers. That cannot be acceptable, and that's why they're lacking in trust.” #JusticeForPretti #ICE_OUT

Will this mean Trevor Noah's lawyers can ask for unredacted Epstein Files as part of discovery?

🇪🇺🇺🇦 Ursula von der Leyen: I spoke with President Zelenskyy this afternoon, ahead of this week’s peace talks. We’re sending hundreds of generators to keep the heat and lights on. We have tabled a €90 billion loan proposal for the next two years.

Das zum Thema Deeskalation und ICE "rechtsstaatlicher" handeln lassen. Die Voraussetzungen, um jemanden festzunehmen, wurden noch einmal drastisch abgesenkt, obwohl ohnehin schon kein richterlicher Haftbefehl mehr vorausgesetzt wurde. Was alles rechtswidrig ist.

Epstein in 2015: "one more week till birthday.. where are you? i hope david koch got your message. donalds financail discolusre is his achilles heel"

Epstein to reporter: "ok article on deutsch bank and donald. , and then another on kusher and qatar.. dont the reporters speak to each other. ?? qatar is the biggest shareholder in DB. db is donalds funder. . donald goes after qatar for terrorsim against the advice of tillerson and state. ie DB? :)"

🇺🇦🇮🇷 Zelensky: Ukraine supports the peoples who value freedom and are truly ready to fight for it. The whole world sees what is happening in Iran, how many murders there are and how the Iranian regime has contributed to the spread of war and violence in the region and the world.

The Trump administration's “war on empathy,” Hillary Rodham Clinton writes, “threatens to pave the way for an extreme vision of Christian nationalism that seeks to replace democracy with theocracy in America”:

Oh, and if you want to read about the reality of masks and airborne transmission, look no further than this... doi.org/10.1128/cmr....

So, to those who say "masks don't work", cite the flawed Cochrane report, insist upon an unfeasible RCT, accuse folks of panic, and undermine public health on social and mainstream media during a flu/RSV epidemic... 1. Seasonal viruses may be "normal", but they do immense harm.

Mr “we can only believe evidence from RCTs” reduced to trolling VAERS 🙄🙄🙄

This is a fun thread to joke on, but for what it’s worth I have been making the point for years that the claim that RCTs are necessary to learn anything about policy efficacy is itself one that should therefore require an RCT to validate. Which is a problem!

"Firms don't consciously set price to marginal cost so therefore this model is bad."

I guess we're just arresting journalists now.

i am happy to fight for freedom with the libertarians but also, we don’t really need to *talk*

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists. Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews. All Black. All doing their jobs.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

You can read the news and its sober people just straight up saying, “oh yeah the president of the United States is probably going to steal that oil money and we all kind of know it.” And apparently that’s just how it is now.

It’s hard to believe doctors, including from Hopkins, can be as ignorant as random people on the street. He doesn’t understand *basic* things about how the Covid vaccine RCTs were designed. I discussed this…

Yeah, I loved that one. Have you looked at the artificial sweetener stuff in the dgas? After a whole thing about why rcts are better than epi, they cite epi and not rcts because epi suggests harm but rcts almost always have some benefits.

My first piece of the year looks at artificial sweeteners and why they may be...healthier than water?? Thanks to @tamarhaspel.bsky.social for the inspiration! gidmk.substack.com/p/diet-coke-...

But if there's no RCTs on air cleaners, how will public EBM researchers be able to perform a GRADE analysis of the studies, and conclude they aren't capable of determining if they are effective?

The "we need more vaccine RCTs" bros destroyed RCTs of vaccines.

Now that their people are in power, the "medical conservatives" behind Sensible Medicine stopped calling for RCTs of everything, or really RCTs of anything. Curious. sciencebasedmedicine.org/letter-to-a-...
