Notorious pro-vaxxer and pro-masker. Famously unfair to pathogenic viruses, bacteria, fungi, and the Toronto Star. Weary of all these death threats with so little follow-through. https://www.dlsph.utoronto.ca/faculty-profile/fisman-david-n

Divertente di imaginare come sara stata capito questo skeet nel regione Mezzogiorno d'Italia #ManoCornuta

Never has any leader had so many people wanting to make the argument that “not wearing any clothes actually makes the emperor better dressed if you think about it.”

SOMEONE MARRIED STEPHEN MILLER?

Cybertruck: “owning me is the surest way to demonstrate your bona fides as an absolute asshole” Joni Ernst: “Hold my beer”

Watch #JoniErnst dig the hole deeper. She is absolutely ghoulish here. She knows this is about healthcare. She knows how she’s voting and she knows she’s going to hurt her constituents and she does it nonetheless. That’s a description of someone who’s in it for herself not ordinary people.

And from that day onward, and forever more, that is what Toronto’s NBA franchise was called by me.

Universal school masking reduced weekly COVID-19 deaths by 0.57 per 100k people. 50 percent of districts removed mask requirements by spring 2022 contributing to 9 percent of COVID deaths that year, from Guzman, Imberman, Filosa, Kilbride, and Malkus https://www.nber.org/papers/w33849

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

A great reminder that science is powerful, and a threat to authoritarians, because it’s a toolbox (admittedly imperfect) for identifying truth

someone on here accused me of making the planet wither away because I'm not having kids, and all I have to say about that is which one of you fuckin snitched about my world withering plans

every article about politics in every mainstream publication is flat out lying to you if it does not emphasize that our government has been taken over by freaks and lunatics

The Dizzying Rise of MAHA Warrior Calley Means, RFK Jr.’s Right-Hand Man www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c... by @katherineeban.bsky.social "Calley Means is not a whistleblower. He is an opportunist, peddling junk science to make millions." MAHA = “...a slogan and a certain amount of grift.”

Yes, you did vote to deport moms.

Wait till he finds out what the Secretary of State of the United States has been up to, he's going to be so mad.

I think @petergleick.bsky.social's comparisons are right on target here. I also don't think most Americans know that this is what is happening and what this means for this country. The dangers cannot be overstated at this point.

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

oh no

Take flouride out of the water. Take vaccines off the shelves. Take vegetables out of the cart. The GOP hates children and always has and it's disgusting.

"Conservatives don't run around saying Canada is broken because they want to fix it.They want a license to demolish and destroy, including many of the things on which we all depend.

The new COVID vaccination recommendations are being made by a small coterie of people least qualified to make them, while cutting out the experts to push their own views forward, regardless of what the science says. My latest for The Nation. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

that’s right

"The past is never dead. It's not even past.” -William Faulkner

when you look at the powers trump is claiming and boil it down, he really does seem to see himself as the literal embodiment of the executive branch, if not the entire nation, and thus his authority extends to everything www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...
