The BS asymmetry principle: The amount of energy needed to refute BS is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.
Thank you to every science communicator who is doing the almost impossible work of countering misinformation every day. Every single one of you is saving lives!

the best part of that argument is essentially just openly admitting that they want their powerful friend protected from any consequence even if he’s guilty

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.
As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.
End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Since people are talking about the razor thin margins in the restaurant industry, I would like to remind everyone of my bête noir, which is parking minimums for bars and restaurants. Off street parking mandates for places that serve alcohol are basically a subsidy to drunk driving.

Trump hasn’t stopped any wars, is shutting down rural hospitals, lying about Epstein, and is 27 points underwater on his so-called “signature issue”
Wow — New Gallup poll:

— Record high approval of immigration (79-17 overall)
— 78% of people support a pathway to citizenship (+8 from 2024); only 38% support mass deportation (-9 from 2024)
— 30% want a decrease in immigration (-25 from 2024)

I realize that platforms feel they have no choice but to comply with the government surveillance schemes, but shocking nonetheless.

New — We Asked Republican Senators if They Knew How Many Americans Israel Has Killed Since October 7. None of Them Did.
“I haven’t even given it much thought,” one senator said. “I am pro-Israel,” another replied.

No exaggeration, this is Declaration of Independence-level tyranny. It's indistinguishable from other "injuries and usurpations" listed by Jefferson in the document. Many don't come close to this level of arrogant hostility.

A man with a scorpion bite.
