If the composition of the char on a grilled hot dog were listed in the ingredients, it would be illegal to sell because of high levels of nitrosamines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which are both banned as carcinogens in the EU and US.
Weird!

1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
- "We are getting reports"... could mean anything.
- "We are seeking confirmation"... means they don't haveit.
- "[News outlet] has learned"... means it has a scoop or is going out on a limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qjoddtmp5jxzkzvt3hoqz3tt/bafkreigi2e6uxrt67htjbrfcmtpbasfuz4jvetyyecnqvxxyt45zile72y@jpeg)

TIL dwarves don’t look up when they mine and will plow right through a heavy aquifer without complaint. The dwarves below, however, will complain.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

Nothing about kids dying from measles is normal. Anti-vaxxers like RFK Jr. and the Republicans who enable them are responsible for every single one of these deaths.

I’m in a couple of these subs and people are *overwhelmingly* in favor of the bans.
There is a growing movement among Reddit subs to ban links to X / Twitter.
I fully support this.

A protest movement has erupted across Reddit, where dozens of subreddits banned X links to protest Elon Musk.
More than 50 Reddit communities ban X links to protest Musk
The cascade of link bans came after Musk made a hand gesture at a Monday rally that many compared to a Nazi salute, which many cited in their protests, among other things.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.
I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

What with all the fibreoptic Internet cables on the sea floor I really think it's sad we don't have a film where a shark bites into one and accidentally uploads itself onto the web and starts eatimg people through their computers. It would be called WWW, vertically mirrored so it's like teeth.
