Sciencephile, beerphile, dad of knuckleheads. The plural of anecdote is misinformation. Don’t do your own research, learn to interpret data. Single-cell multiomics is my jam.

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

So, apparently, to our president, upholding your oath and calling for the military to support and obey the Constitution is...seditious behavior. But calling for members of Congress (who are also honored veterans) to be hanged because they are honoring the Constitution is...just fine.

This is a beautiful new locker room at St Pius in Kansas City. They are a private religious school that accepts taxpayer vouchers for partial tuition.
Anyway, the kids at the public school down the road from me learn to run track when they go to track meets — they don’t have a track of their own.

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.
