I'm confused: Tylenol causes fascism, or is it that acetaminophen results from abuse of fake spray tans? It's hard to follow facts when they just make this stuff up.

That press conference reminded me of when I was in the sixth grade and gave a book report on a book I hadn't read.

In 2004, it took many, many days to produce detailed tsunami models after the devastating Sumatra earthquake. Last night? Slip models were being produced and shared within hours. That’s federally funded science in action.

I just hit "traditional" social media for the first time in months to see how the tsunami might be affecting friends who live near the Pacific. It is shocking to see how much AI generated #bullshit there is on there. And #foxnewsbullshit. What motivates these people??? Do they get a dopamine rush?

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

A flood on July 4 killed at least 27 people.

It’s official: U.S. science is tanking on an international level. Just finished a great meeting of international volcanologists. U.S. presence about half that of previous meetings. Many talented people looking to get out of our shithole of a country.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.
While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.
End this oligarchy.
