As I watched the clips of the units marching in front of Dear Leader I was disconcerted, so I looked it up. According the US Army, they are ~50% White. api.army.mil/e2/c/downloa... That is not the Army that marched past Donald Trump!

I watched some clips of the Army's Trump Parade. Strangely chintzy looking really. Hardly a show of power. The audio was humorous with the tanks rattling and squeaking. The units were all so spread out, with small, half-empty viewing areas. I guess the rain kept folks away ;}

If you have an okay life in a corrupt system, and you tell people that they should follow the rules, then you (and I) are Lawful Evil. May the Fourth be with you!

@ronlieber.bsky.social I really appreciated this article in the NYT! I’ve taught at my University for 20 years, and my two children went through college, and I never understood this mechanism. Wow! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/b...

Scientists have not been bad scientists throughout the recent crises! Sure, there is always someone to point at. And sure everyone could have done better in some way. But there is not some group of scientists that have been bad scientists 1/2

Gender Affirming Care: The medical definition usually includes patients changing genders, not all do. There is a broader set of treatments and procedures, many covered by medical insurance, that affirm gender. Erectile Disfunction treatments being one obvious one. CARE is the important part!
