#Sigh2 Imagine any other country doing this to us (U.S.). This is done in our names. Finally, did he & his administration not get this news? www.npr.org/2025/09/23/g...

The Dr. Oz/iHerb & leucorovin angle from HHS is that he has divested & that the FDA version talked about with autism is prescription only, not OTC that iHerb has for sale. 1. Do they think folks will not buy it anyway? 2. Even if not him directly, does this not help his friends?

Read the last paragraph from the FDA's official announcement on this issue. Now imagine if I told you that [redacted] happened in The Sixth Sense, or that [redacted] was the case in Fight Club, or [redacted] in The Crying Game before you saw those great films. #Sigh1 www.fda.gov/news-events/...

#Route66Concert Day 23: Happy birthday, Mrs. Science Teacher! She has been my friend for over 2/3rds of my life. Not my boss but a partner & wife for over 1/3rd of it. We do not always agree on music (ha!), but this is one artist we both like. Song 1: youtu.be/EPhWR4d3FJQ?...

Tsurumaru is a red-crowned crane from the wetlands of Kushiro, Hokkaido. He’s an eternally 5-year-old spoiled boy.

Still remember when Chaffetz said this not long after he left Congress (costing us money in Utah) & being chair of the Oversight Committee . . .

Okay, what am I to take given I cannot really do aspirin or NSAIDs (e.g., Advil) due to health issues? Would like to see the data to back up their claims. Guessing same sources & data as his COVID suggestions.

No notes

Well, that did not inspire confidence.

I just . . . More work for @ppplabuwhite.bsky.social. Glad we do preregistration now.

Looking west, then looking east on this equinox day in SLC!

Correct. Even if she wins on the merits in the end, the damage will have been done.

Hey Social Psychologists on Bluesky, we have two job openings at the Assistant level. One is general social, & the other has an emphasis on health issues. We are a fun & friendly bunch, who also do good work in research & teaching. Spread the word! TY utah.peopleadmin.com/postings/188...

Q: “Did Trump ask the DOJ to close the Homan bribe case, and does he have to return the $50,000?” LEAVITT: “He didn’t take the money, he did nothing wrong, he is a brave public servant.” (It’s reportedly on tape. also: Biden “weaponized the DOJ”… but never released this?)

The appeals court tossed the penalty, not the fraud case, which is still ongoing . . . www.bbc.com/news/article...

That was a non-answer to the question on the specific topic of "bringing down the temperature".

Media lawyers and newsroom leaders are evaluating a government memo spelling out new rules that would sharply restrict reporting at the Pentagon. Several of the country’s biggest news outlets are publicly pushing back on the rules, foreshadowing a potential legal battle: https://cnn.it/46UUeYb

#Sigh1 The other day, I told to Mrs. Science Teacher about Trump's comments to Jonathan Karl about how folks will not even look at you "incorrectly" in D.C. now bc he "fixed" the city was like the "looking" lessons I got as a kid. I guess sitting is next. www.blackenterprise.com/alex-okeefe-...

"True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. " Rev. Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. (1967, Beyond Vietnam)

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

Here is the video.

Via @acyn.bsky.social on musky site. “He did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That's where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent and I don't want the best for them. I'm sorry. I am sorry, Erika. But now Erika can talk to me … and convince me that that’s not right.” Trump

Regardless of how any of us felt about Kirk, it is *devastating* that his kids and wife will never see him again. That's a horrifying, traumatic thing for anyone to go through, and I do hope they hang in there. Kindness, not violence, should be our aim in life, always.

1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ CAREER POSTSEASON BLOCKS FOR THE M'VP! 👏

The M'VP now has the 4th-most double-doubles in WNBA playoff history! 🙌

With Chelsea's third rebound, she now has the 5th-most rebounds in franchise playoff history! 🙌

Cannot help wondering if things have been falling apart in the organization since 2020 & having Bird, Stewart, Loyd (along with Clark) there kept things together. Clark & Stewie left, & Bird retired. Now Loyd left, too, & Clark came back but left again. It is a historic franchise for the W.

#Route66Concert Day 21: Congratulations to A'Ja Wilson on her 4th (should be 5th) M'VP & her 3rd D'POY (second time she was won both). First 4-time winner in the WNBA & not 30 years old! Only Bill Russell, Kareem, & Lebron have done it in the NBA. Song: youtu.be/_shxzlTRK44?...

WOW! This is like the Sinclair Broadcasting anchors (some here in SLC) repeating the same thing. They are trying to create a multiple source effect (e.g., Harkins & Petty, 1981), but if not seen as independent, it can reduce the impact (cf., Petty, Harkins, & Willams, 1980).

🏆🏆 𝟒𝐱 𝐌’𝐕𝐏 🏆🏆 A'ja Wilson is the 2025 WNBA Most Valuable Player!
