Speeding is for people who can't do math. The majority of car trips in the US are less than 6 miles. If you drive 30 mph instead of 20 mph, you'll only get there 6 minutes earlier but you're much more likely to kill someone. Just leave 10 minutes earlier and drive slower.

It’s still hard for me to believe that after so many years of deranged posts like this, we’ve still never had a serious national conversation about this man’s mental health.

Maybe some entrepreneurial folks can come up with Cybertruck conversion kits like you could get for old VW Beetles. Make it look like an old flare-side! Maybe an old-timey milk truck!

Good explainer about PFAs has a nugget about #flouride in water. It’s similar to fluorocarbons, but effects are v different. The rise of forever chemicals coincides with #fluoridation, so any “evidence” that Fl is a poison ignores the role of PFAs. #veritasium #pfas #3M #dupont youtu.be/SC2eSujzrUY

The last Leo, Leo XIII, was born in 1810. In 1896 he was persuaded to allow a film camera into the Vatican. He is the oldest (or, the earliest born) human being ever caught on film.

I spotted this decal on a post in a DuPage (IL) Forest Preserve today, about 8’ off the ground. It vaguely looks like a fire service logo, but my firefighter friend doesn’t recognize it. Looks kinda Nazi, doesn’t it? Does anyone want to reveal any #illinoisnazis?

Mom just suggested that I march right up to the Vatican, introduce myself to the guy in charge, hand him a printed copy of my resume and tell him confidently and forcefully that I’m the right person for the job.
