The same UN that was helping Hamas kill Israelis.
UN Special Rapporteurs are an honorary title given to activists. They can't vote, or they'd vote science out of existence.

Because of his achievements to prevent hunger, famine and misery around the world, it is said that Dr. Borlaug has "saved more lives than any other person who has ever lived".
@sfironicle@GavinNewsom I like how he talked about the deficit - which he then made far worse. SF is on its way to being Detroit, and California lost 340,000 people to AZ, TX, and FL.
New analysis @gatesfoundation ag grants for Africa via @cagjseattle: "this pattern exemplifies neocolonialism: using money ostensibly for 'charitable' purposes to further enrich the interests of corporations and institutions based in the Global North" https://t.co/eLAcbmQZJq

The drug works.
Exactly. Suddenly one false charge after another is leveled at you, and people think "you can't make this shit up - it must be true!". It is an absolutely crushing experience. (See Galileo's Middle Finger.)
This is unacceptable.
We now need to know more about @RobinhoodApp’s decision to block retail investors from purchasing stock while hedge funds are freely able to trade the stock as they see fit.
As a member of the Financial Services Cmte, I’d support a hearing if necessary.
Please don't help Vandana Shiva and RFK Jr. by suggesting they're right that scientists caused this by feeding people. It's speculation and helps lunatics. This was caused by wet markets. Microbiologists know that.
Not that one, anyway. @ClevelandClinic should get rid of him but he brings in a lot of money with his "functional" 'food is medicine' claims. And it's about money for them.
