How to “determine the cause of autism by September”: Step 1: decide you already know the cause. Step 2: skip all the typical study design, ethics review, and data collection steps. Step 3: cherry-pick, p-hack, and fudge your way to data that declare “success”.

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.
