This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Does anybody know how all these electric outboards can claim 1000W and 4HP? 1000W is 1.34 HP.
Some are claiming 5HP and 1000W.
Is it just "marketing HP?"
Also '21AH' is not a measure of 'Current' 🙄

I was watching something about Lee Harvey Oswald, and it hit me that the investigation was done well after he'd been murdled by Jack Ruby.
The House Select Committee on Assassinations and the Warren Commission both spent a long time laying out their case(s).
Where's TFGs attempted guy's case? 👀
