Yet, there are still real obstacles standing in nuclear's way in this country.

As @JunkScience told me, "these nuclear entrepreneurs that are working on stuff at the labs … They're working on great technology, they're doing great things, but if they don't get that linear no-threshold fixed, they're going nowhere with all of it."

🤯 Midjourney -- yes, the AI image company -- just shipped a brand new type of imaging machine. 🤯

- 100x faster than an MRI.
- 10x cheaper.

Full body scanned in 60 seconds instead of an hour in a tube. Ultrasound based, MRI-level resolution.

And it's real -- not a concept, a working machine. You step into a shallow pool of warm water, a ring of half a million sensors sends sound through your body from every angle, and ~60 seconds later you have a 3D map of your insides down to a fraction of a millimeter. No radiation, no tube, no lying still.

They're not even building it as a hospital machine -- they're building a spa. The scan is a side-effect of a place you'd want to hang out anyway.

Lastly, it is built by 9 people. NINE PEOPLE.

You can just do things.

@dsonoiki Imagine wanting to be a New Yorker, I've lived here 25 years and I'd rather be known as a syphilitic.

A non-profit health system can refer a patient to its own MRI, its own lab, its own surgery center, and bill all three.

An independent does that once and it's a federal felony.

Same referral.
Same patient.
One of you goes to prison.

It's called Stark Law.
Read who's exempt.

The asymmetry is the whole business model.

Sure, there are people in America who like international football. They fall into 4 groups:

Immigrants
Tourists
Americans who hate the USA and vow to leave whenever elections don't go their way, but then puss out and pretend to enjoy soccer as goth cosplay rebellion

In 1980, Richard Pryor agreed to an interview with a Mormon high school public access station while on his lunch break from filming STIR CRAZY in Arizona, but literally none of the footage was usable for tv because Pryor was high on cocaine and let it all loose

There are 3 billion fewer birds in North America than there were in 1970.

This data is from a 2019 Science paper that combined 48 years of citizen-science bird counts with continent-wide weather radar tracking nighttime migration.

The losses are concentrated in the birds people see most often: grassland birds (down 53%, 700 million gone), forest birds (1 billion gone), and shorebirds (down 37%). Even common species (blackbirds, swallows, warblers) are vanishing.

Habitat loss is the biggest reason, but the rest of the list is short and largely fixable for the average person.

1. Pesticides killing the insects birds eat.

2. Outdoor cats kill an estimated 2.4 billion US birds annually.

3. Window collisions killing roughly a billion more. Lawn chemicals.

4. Light pollution disrupting migration.

What you can do, ranked by impact: keep cats indoors, treat your windows for bird strikes, plant native trees and shrubs, stop spraying pesticides, leave the leaves and seed heads through winter, and turn off outdoor lights at night during spring and fall migration.

No one person killed 3 billion birds, obviously, but your yard can be a part of the solution that rebuilds their numbers.

It’s gotten to the point where one of the classiest booths in baseball is openly ripping the manager

It’s almost like everyone in the world can see this guy is over his head except for Boy Genius who’s saving Mendoza to be the scapegoat after the season is over

🧵1/ Let's engage in a thought experiment. Let's assume for a second the reason China's energy stockpiles are not being drawn down isn't because the country has gigantic secret stockpiles no-one in the market has as yet detected.

Let's assume instead it's because the warehouse receipts underpinning these reserves exist as a type of base money that funds an extremely over-extended and leveraged shadow financing system. A parallel-dollar clearing system if you will. And that liquidating any of this collateral would trigger a daisy chain credit event, equivalent to a run on the yuan.

Far-fetched you say? Well let's test the hypothesis by running through what you would expect to see more broadly if it is indeed true that the reason the stockpiles are not being liquidated is because the system can't financially afford to extinguish that collateral without sparking a financial crisis.

FITZPATRICK says he'll try to kill the DOJ slush fund.

With a tiny majority, Fitzpatrick holds huge sway.
