Let me tell you something else. Nobody becomes a bigger hater than the person you helped. Nobody.
And I will tell you a second thing. No one wants to argue you to the death more than the person who says they “agree with you on 99 percent of all things.”
I don’t make the rules.

It's really hard to tell at this point but I think years from now this will be one of the most destructive things that RFK Jr did at HHS.
Mammograms, FIT tests and colonoscopies, diabetes, blood pressure, depression screens. All of these are as widely available as they are because of USPSTF.

RFK Jr. has now officially stated that he will dismantle the United States Preventive ServicesTask Force (USPSTF).
This is an independent body of expert scientists who volunteer their time to review data and provide guidance to Americans on important things like cancer screenings.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

if you've had a shitty week, here's the fantastic news you needed:
solar is SO efficient now that nothing else really comes close. Solar farms like this- under which other countries plant crops that thrive in the controlled bright shade- are the easy future.
this makes me sleep okay at night 😌

Solar + storage is now $104 per MWh in Las Vegas or similar regions for nearly 100% clean firm power. There is no way new nuclear can compete with this. Even new gas plants will struggle and that is assuming access to cheap gas over the life-cycle of the plant, which is kind of a crazy gamble TBH.
Batteries are so cheap now, solar power doesn’t sleep
Batteries are now cheap enough to make 24/7 solar power affordable, unlocking round-the-clock clean energy in the world’s sunniest cities.

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.
