Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator?

This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

Just a reminder that measles virus is very infectious with one infected individual spreading it to (on average) 12-18 others in a susceptible population.

With vaccination rates below 92% or so, measles is likely to spread extensively and quickly.

AOC is wise to the fact that the AI industry is openly angling for government bailouts. The AI industry is already a product of corporate welfare policies (incl dispensations from copyright enforcement and data center permitting) but it's about to get worse.

Why is Larry Summers still employed by Harvard? Of all the jobs Summers has—professor, Bloomberg columnist, OpenAI board member—teaching young students is the one he should never be allowed to do again.
Why Is Larry Summers Still Employed?
The revelations about the economist’s attempts to pressure a women into a “relationship”—with guidance from Jeffrey Epstein—should finally disqualify him from teaching students.

Reposting this. I'm just so disgusted by what used to be sports media. More interested in betting lines than player suicides. That's not a hot-take opinion. We have the data here. It's a fact.

Many are posting about James Watson after his death. Watson spoiled his legacy with his racism and sexism.
I prefer to revisit the contributions of Dr Rosalind Franklin to discovery of the structure of DNA.

What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.
