A publicly-funded study of the venomous saliva of the Gila monster is exactly the kind of silly sounding basic science John McCain and Tom Coburn used to rail about in the Senate, but it changed the course of medicine pretty substantially in the last 20y. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

This is like saying “there were signs the suspect was a big game hunter, they played a catch-and-release called Pokémon Go”

it's tuesday evening and we're korean
Absolutely zero shade at all, but why were so many reporters and politicians drunk on a Monday evening?
I am, incidentally, pretty drunk rn (the job is 24/7!!!). This is the most Korean thing I've ever done.

This is very sweet: The Marion County Record has a long table with labeled issues laid out for subscribers who like to stop by the office to pick up their copies. According to Jessica McMaster (who took this photo), this nice woman also dropped off off flowers on Monday in memory of Joan Meyer.

I have a pet theory that people hesitate because they think it's like health insurance when you make a claim (five layers of bureaucracy looking to deny you) when actually home and renters insurance really pays out in moments of need seamlessly and without hassle.

new twitter is great because you'll see accounts go viral with "jeffrey epistein didnt hang himself, it was the vaccine" and they get ad revenue while news stations are like "sorry API won't let us do up to the minute updates on tornado warnings"

Yeah man we don’t really have a concrete rationale beyond hours and hours of saved commutes and money spent on commuting, this is very esoteric data that really only affects like 81 people anyway
Ed, while I understand your concern about a lack of hard data about the merits of WFO, I can’t see much of the same in your piece supporting WFH either: it relies equally on relatively esoteric ‘measures’. I’m not sure we’re getting anywhere with concrete rationale beyond reduced commute times.

New Police Body Cam Data Exposes the True Scale of NYPD Violence Against Protesters
A landmark $13 million settlement with the City of New York is the latest in a string of legal wins for protesters who were helped by a video-analysis tool that smashes the “bad apple” myth.

Here are the four things that Texas A&M Regents did that ensured they would have to pay a big settlement once the details became known. And if McElroy had not gone to the Texas Tribune, the details might never have become known. https://donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-demise-of-academic-freedom-in
