It's very interesting that "nationally important projects" always seems to mean oil pipelines, and not doing things that would benefit far more people like fixing our crumbling infrastructure.

This is BS. I ran for office in a red state and won with 80% of the vote. I regularly talk about my identity when I knock doors. The key is to do so a way that connects to other issues (e.g. being trans shapes how I think about ALL healthcare access, threats to education, etc.). It's that simple.

Be careful of survivor and selection bias when trying to understand disease impacts. Imagine if we could survey those who died because they were unvaccinated or died because they were infected by a person who chose not to vaccinate. Survivor bias can paint a rosier picture than what really happened.

It reveals how there is a strong antimodern impulse at the heart of a lot of environmental thinking. We've been able to heat homes much longer than we've been able to cool homes, therefore heating is "natural" whereas A/C is "unnatural."

Trump's decision to provoke and participate in a purposeless and unnecessary war simply in order to declare a peace he can brag about reminds me of one of my father's favourite expressions: "It's like banging your head against the wall, it feels so good when you stop."

Nothing this criminal regime does is popular. That’s the point. We’ve arrived at a place where democratic will has been so undermined that the wealth class can enact any awful and transparently inhuman thing they want. This will not change until we reassert our democratic power.

As a journal editor, I agree 💯 with @catherinedevries.bsky.social. To me, the lit review is the single most important part of any paper. There are many ways to do one, and it is often hard to do well, but this essay gives some excellent advice: catherineeunicedevries.substack.com/p/most-liter...

I was gonna do that "post your gender with a pic you already have" thing but aside from never posting pics I didn't already have one of the ST:CCG card "Workhorses of the Fleet" saved. And let's be honest, my gender is just a homely, trashy girl. That's a dime a dozen. I'm wallpaper and I love it.

one way to make sense of the position of the republicans on the supreme court is that they do not believe there is such a thing as a legitimate objection to the actions of a republican president, no matter how deranged, depraved, or anti-constitutional www.stevevladeck.com/p/161-the-co...

in the pre-covid world, alternative medicine was seen as apolitical, or even as socially progressive in the west their broadly anti-science stance on covid led most into far right spaces, but there has not been a recognition that this obsession with preserving the 'natural' tends to be reactionary

I’m quite fluent in ALL CAPS. it was my first language as a child and it’s what I speak at home. my expert translation of Trump’s chaotic ceasefire posts indicates a man who hates doing his job abruptly realizing in panic that the US getting pulled into war means he will have to do his job every day

This is good step in the right direction, but now should be expanded to everyone. After all, we all have a right to not be permanently disabled from a preventable and avoidable disease. All my organs need blood to function, and covid imperils that.

Unpopular opinion: MAHA, while complete pseudoscience, falls well inside the medical establishment - it's just a different subset that gains political advantage from it. It will be rapidly embraced by the leaders of many medical institutions, who will happily trade our lives and health for power.
