Canadian in origin. I always try to do the right thing.
I think Oz is a horrible person and has harmed far more people than he ever helped as a surgeon.

But I’ll accept his recognition here that RFK Jr is dangerously wrong on vaccines.

Take all vaccines. They save lives.

Age verification?

I helped my dad create a presentation for work using the original version of Harvard Graphics.
Age verification? Growing up I used a gramophone to play my mum's 78rpm jazz records. And how to indicate I was about to make a turn by sticking my arm out the driver's side window on vehicles that didn't have indicators. (It was on the driving test back then.)
Age verification?

I used to have to stick my finger into one of several holes in a phone and rotate a circular piece of plastic, repeating the process a certain number of times to input the number I wanted to call.

FYI. The kid was not the ICE kid. It was an actor.

A reminder that not all Hispanic boys look alike.
A Reddit user identifies the boy who took a Grammy from Bad Bunny in the halftime show as five-year-old model Lincoln Fox and says that he was meant to represent Bad Bunny as a child www.instagram.com/the_lincfox/... www.reddit.com/user/BabySea...

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them
What a moment.

Looking forward to the Douthat column tomorrow complaining about Bad Bunny and demanding that from now on “only American citizens should be allowed to headline the halftime show. “

I had to ask my wife who was playing in the Puppy Bowl this year.

I have been so disconnected from most sports.

The extraordinary damage that this putrid person causes with his anti-vax ideology is one of the most insidious parts of this Administration.

*But separate from that,* it will never not be funny that RFK Jr.—who looks visibly unhealthy and has a literal brainworm—considers himself a health expert.
RFK Jr on what he'll eat during the Super Bowl: "I am on a carnivore diet so I just eat meat and ferments, and I'm very happy with that. So I'm probably going to have yogurt."

A certain thread in the Valve subreddit today reminds me that there is still a very vocal group of misogynistic incels who really hate the idea that a woman might be fighting for their rights.

They can’t fathom that a woman suing a gaming company might actually be good for them if she wins.

It says a lot that the GOP think being obese is worse than being a rap**t.
Worth noting that this response actually concedes that what Pritzker said is true.

This galaxy is VERY tiny—much much smaller than our own Milky Way—& incredibly distant. But we can see it AND distinguish its shape!

How?

The light we see from it is from SO LONG AGO that the Universe was MUCH smaller at the time: we see it as it was when it was close enough to us to look big!! 🤯
This is what the most distant confirmed galaxy looks like. The light we're receiving was emitted when the Universe was ~15x smaller in linear size than today, and right now it's ~30 billion light-years away from us. The light was emitted when the Universe was <300 million years old. Pretty amazing!
News from the edge of the visible universe:

JWST has confirmed this galaxy, MoM-z14, as the most distant one yet studied. We're seeing it as it was 13.5 billion years ago, 98% of the way back to the beginning of time.

(MoM stands for "miracle or mirage.") 🧪🔭
