I don't have a dog in the fight, but it's going to be really funny when you sad tomatoes finally realize you should actually watch Taskmaster. I promise I won't shame you. But, still. Your time starts now.

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

So a spurious correlation from an observational study is “gold standard science”, but testing vaccines in multiple RCTs with over 30,000 participants each is not?

Yup, live again on Twitch with more Mass Effect 2. Come hang out, and give some money to the kids at St. Jude while you’re at it! We just broke $1,000 raised, let’s keep it going. You might be thinking “oh I’ll do it later”, but you’ll definitely forget — seize the day!

Trans rights are human rights, and systematically vilifying any group of people for who they are is reprehensible. How we treat the most vulnerable/marginalized shows our true hearts. “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

A lot of people who were panic mongering about a woke cultural revolution are conspicuously quiet about a youth activist denouncing a professor for wrong think and that professor being fired as part of a campaign of public shaming by political leaders.

When talking about the flaws of the education system here in the US, there sure is a wide menu to choose from. But lately I think our problems are less about what is taught, how it's taught, etc. and more about a culture which seems to pretend there is a point at which you are "done" with it.

it’s so cool how one zyn’d up frat bro can singlehandedly make a mockery of the entire profession of science, all while gutting it’s funding and sentencing millions to death in the process. like, how do we even begin to address this?

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
