I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to “do their own research” about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of “efficiency.”

Stealing health and stability from tomorrow's citizens to [even further] enrich today's billionaires. Utterly inexcusable.

Friends, this was all generated with the new Google AI. None of these people are real, all the information is fake. You need to show this to your parents and children and teach them how to verify sources. Otherwise the spread of misinformation and outright lies will be unstoppable.

Buttigieg: Like I love A1 steak sauce, but A1 steak sauce is not one of the most important things confronting humanity right now. Artificial intelligence is. And somebody who doesn't understand that probably should not be leading an important federal agency.

I am thinking a lot today about how heavy things feel in my world of faculty doing scientific research. There's the immediate chaos and panic about our ability to pay people and continue our research. But there's also a deeper grief at watching everything get bulldozed for no reason

As someone born in Soviet Russia, I can't overstate how pathetic—yet familiar—this looks. Sycophancy is zero-sum: the more one person flatters, the more everyone else must out-grovel, until we reach an 11-minute Stalin applause. America’s whole point is that we don’t do this.

As comedy writers can tell you, “hat on a hat” means an unfunny bit that’s trying too hard. Happens to the best of us. But this cringemaster LITERALLY does it. All humor and wit dies with him!

I have in general become way less tolerant of ‘crunchy’ bullshit since ascension of people like RFK jr. to actual power. Sorry but the obnoxious Reddit science and logic guys were right, you should be scorned for believing objectively wrong things about consequential issues.
