Celebrity kills integrity.

“Science” becomes something else. They become popular and then sell their opinion on other popular topics like a commodity. “World famous Dr. So and So here says men can get pregnant”.

How about scientists become rockstars because they are fucking cool and do cool shit? Don’t “cut them in” anywhere- then they owe someone. Just let the science itself be the celebrity.

I always thought the brown thing was like the loom part of the brand representation. Otherwise it’s just “Fruit” which makes no sense. Like- the basket makes the fruit a result of a harvest, the result of a successful garden. The fruits of labor. The whole point of the brand name.

@RARohde The better question to ask is why does everything have to be climate change?

This bullshit is getting old.

Sometimes things just happen.

Throwing stuff out to see what sticks. The dems are so scared of this guy that they have no idea how to come at him. Pathetic

Newsome sees tax money as his money. He is so transparently corrupt.

[Houman David Hemmati, MD, PhD @houmanhemmati]

‼️ California Democrats just tried to quietly steal $20 million from the Motor Vehicle Account — the account you fill every time you renew your registration — to pay for CHP bodyguards for Gavin Newsom and other current and former politicians after they leave office.

Not from the General Fund. Not from campaign accounts. From driver fees.
KCRA caught it first: a $20 million line item buried in a 300-page spending bill dumped late Saturday night, headed for a Tuesday vote. It would put CHP officers on personal security for current and former elected officials and their families, “depending on a threat assessment.” Newsom’s office won’t say whether he plans to use it. He’s already shopping a 2028 presidential run.
Sitting governors already get CHP protection.

What California has not historically done is keep taxpayer-funded CHP details on former governors once they leave office. A longtime Capitol lawyer told KCRA former governors have not typically received this after they were done. This bill blows that line apart with money meant for roads, traffic, and public safety.

Sen. Roger Niello, vice chair of the Senate Budget Committee, called it “inappropriate, and it might even be unconstitutional.” He said the Motor Vehicle Account — funded by registration fees — is forecast to go bankrupt in two to three years. CHP already takes most of it.

Sacramento’s answer is to raid that collapsing account so politicians can keep a taxpayer-funded motorcade after voters are done with them.

California already lets candidates spend campaign funds on security with no cap through 2028. Newsom has a massive campaign war chest. Niello said use the campaign account, not registration fees. They chose registration fees anyway.

Taxpayers are already paying for Kamala Harris — a private citizen on a book tour — to travel the country and even overseas with dozens of CHP officers peeled off the roads. Newsom’s administration approved it, then refused to say how many officers, for how long, or what it costs. They denied records requests for just the dollar figure.

Drivers are subsidizing a memoir tour while the state hides the invoice. Now they want $20 million more for Newsom’s next act.
Why does any former official get a CHP detail paid by people renewing a Camry in Fresno? CHP already covers the governor and statewide officers including Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara, and Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond. CHP is stretched. Overtime is exploding. Officers on VIP babysitting are not on the highways you drive.

Newsom does not need this. He and his wife report roughly $1.7 million to $2 million a year, mostly from the PlumpJack wine empire. They own multiple mansions, including a Fair Oaks estate listed around $7.5 million and a Marin property bought for about $9.1 million. Fortune estimates run to tens of millions. He can hire private security tomorrow. His campaign account can legally pay for it. He would rather you pay.

Threats may be real. That does not give a rich governor-in-waiting a blank check on your registration renewal. The Motor Vehicle Account has a structural deficit. California faces a multi-hundred-billion-dollar transportation shortfall over the next decade. Fees keep going up. Drivers get worse pavement and a Highway Patrol turned into a concierge service for the political class.

No Motor Vehicle Account money for post-office political security. No CHP details for former officials building a presidential campaign. No more secret Harris-style book-tour motorcades billed to California drivers. If Newsom wants a bubble on the 2028 trail, he can write the check from PlumpJack, the Marin house, or his campaign account.

Our roads are falling apart. Our patrol is stretched thin. The little money drivers still pay is being skimmed for people who already have wineries, mansions, and donor lists.

Kill the $20 million. Publish the Harris invoice. Make Newsom pay for Newsom.

@EndWokeness I’m sure his wife drove him to do it too

The most important type of intelligence assessment is telling the difference between a surface appearance of intellectualism, and the actual capability to understand complex relationships between cause and effect.

Because it's easy to spot when someone is dumb.

What's harder to discern is when someone is pretending to punch above his weight class.

Go watch a recorded speech given by Barrack Obama, or Christopher Hitchens. If you don't listen carefully, you could easily be fooled into thinking these men were intelligent.

They speak in ways that sound like how smart people speak.

But, for a moment, imagine you were to take the ideas in their eloquent speeches, and restate them using the phraseology and vocabulary of a stereotypical construction worker... would either of them still appear intelligent?

No. They would not. The ideas, stripped bare of rhetorical frills and fancy presentation, reveal themselves as simple restatements of bumper-sticker level political and social commentary.

You see, plenty of people are clever enough to watch the habits of genius and imitate them.

But geniuses are not geniuses because they are eloquent. They are eloquent because they are geniuses. Eloquence, and other such habits, are a side effect of genius, not its essential nature.

The side effects of genius can be imitated with study. The core functions cannot. Because anyone who can is, by definition, a genius.

And now, for those of you who have been more patient with me than I deserve, and are still following along, we have at last arrived at a general principle we can use.

If you want to know how truly intelligent someone is, take him out of his comfort zone.

Make him do something new, learn something he's never learned, try a skill he's never practiced, solve a problem he has never faced before.

How does he adapt? How does he think? How does he learn?

Without his thousands of hours of practice, without all his familiar tools neatly stashed in his comfort zone, a man is forced to fall back on who he is, on the genetic recipe that makes him.

This doesn't mean that he will make no mistakes, or that he will magically know what he could only learn from experience. But it means that he will learn quickly, understand each mistake as soon as he makes it, and never make the same error twice.

This is why we prize genius.

Not because it speaks pretty words or covers whiteboards in complex mathematically formulae, but because genius learns.

And then genius teaches.

Genius captures knowledge from the world for the rest of humanity.

So if you want to spot it, ignore the habits, ignore the frills and tells and tics, and watch how it engages with the unfamiliar.
