Evaluating Curtis "dark enlightenment" Yarvin's arguments for @GurusPod is like looking at a bunch of jigsaw pieces scattered over the table, none of which are fitting together.
Then you see they're not jigsaw pieces but the little plastic prizes included in breakfast serial.

“To his supporters, Bhattacharya’s supposed status as a victim of government censorship is the key element of his hero’s journey. And it’s simply not true.”
I very much regret listening to Stanford when it told me I shouldn’t respond to Jay’s lies ab our work. They were wrong & I knew it then too.

"Dr. Jay Bhattacharya made his name by claiming he was censored during the Covid pandemic. But it never happened." Great piece by @mmasnick.bsky.social. Also worth noting...

In episode five of #WolfHall: The Mirror and the Light, the incomparable Abraham tapestries in Hampton Court’s majestic Great Hall have been meticulously recoloured to show their original vibrancy. The result is stunning—so much kudos to the brilliant art department.

Correct. Those, including other ‘scientists’, who have made continual baseless claims about our paper, that it was ghost written, plagiarised, or we were paid off, should reflect hard on the misinformation they have spread and the hate they have sown.

Most people know Sam Beckett’s plays, but I personally far prefer his novels. Highly recommended, they are a reading experience like none other
'You must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on.'
These three iconic novels by era-defining Nobel Laureate Samuel Beckett are being relaunched for a new generation, with introductions from Colm Tóibín, Claire-Louise Bennett and Eimear McBride.

The final report from the COVID Sub Committee is released and it is as expected given that the origin "has been contorted by politics, while scientific discourse has been abandoned in pursuit of a preferred, coordinated narrative", as I stated in my written testimony.
