The seig heils, as predictable as the tides, went from “ironic” or “misunderstood” or “just trolling” to now routine at CPAC. Now it’s a purposeful display of fidelity to the cause, of being based, as it was always designed to be.

Another terrifying Friday night. Now an unqualified MAGA is chair of Joint Chiefs.

Love how Postmates is like “are you satisfied with your delivery?” And include a picture of the fence they threw it over 4 blocks away. 10/10, would recommend.

I now see that we have not mocked the royal family of England enough. The American obsession with royals is our most odious UnAmerican habit. We should mock kings to their faces, and moon them on state visits. They aren’t special. No ine is special. And our slavering over them prepared this moment.

periodic refresher that at the ripe old age of 19 i told an NYT reporter that i was teen vaper named "joe stevonson" who "missed how smoking cigarettes felt like gargling gravel" and was particularly fond of "Lil Ugly Mane's Courtroom Vape Juice" and she didn't so much as ask me for a photo of my ID

Our future NIH director promised vaccines stopped transmission and had “defanged” the pandemic in April 2021. In a new misinformation journal from We Want Them Infected doctors, he current blasts other people for *his* words. My latest for SBM. sciencebasedmedicine.org/misinformati...

An excellent deep dive intp the dats behind FIRE's "campus free speech" rankings. You won't be surprised to learn they are bullshit, riddled with errors and willful misrepresentions. This is not a serious organization and we would stop treating it as such. www.chronicle.com/article/the-...

The press is so cowed they’re just Sieg Heiling at CPAC now and they call it a “controversial salute.” The refs have been worked so bad they’re irrelevant.

This man gets it.

To be fair, Keven Hassett predicting the exact opposite of what sane economic models would is super on-brand. He wrote Dow 30k (in 1999), and suggested the cubic model for Covid extinction based on what default excel line fit gave him the answer he wanted in 2020. Dumb as a bag of hammers.

Literally, this is the year I get a fundable score on my first R01. Cursed. Anyway, instead I’m moonlighting and having the university divert the money to a lab fund. I ain’t shutting down for nobody. I just have to work an additional 50-60 days a year somehow…

This entire article reads like it was written by a child using AI but limited to reading textbooks from the 70s. It’s just not a good paper.

I am a child of the 70s/80’s that was brought up to admire America. It was the bulwark against Russia. A strong superpower that was on the right side of history despite its many failings. Never did I have on my bingo card - weak bitch to Russia and traitor to the west. But here we are.

In the NYT no doubt

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

Pritzker seems to be stepping into the leadership vacuum.

Weak. Surrender. Pathetic. Also try venal, and small. Finally using the right words.

I mean really, were we just not reporting these before? I need to see some data on this or I am not flying for four years. Worse, this data is probably in the hands of some DOGE intern named Schlongmeister and he's getting ready to fudge the numbers to blame Biden.
