If conservatives had taken seriously the guys arguing about demunicipalizing the garbage collectors, they might not be dealing now with people trying to demunicipalize the police.

I was stunned to find this really happened. Roberts and Scalia; "orthogonal" -- really? (Simulation.) 🥃

@RandyCarter9455 I'm glad someone appreciated this! It was the funniest exchange I ever heard at the SCOTUS! I was incredulous.

My friends say 'orthogonal' all the time! @AnEriksenWife https://t.co/igsM01z7JR

"Science still works. The peers do not."

[Eric Weinstein @ericweinstein]

Our answers are often in the trash. Not the journals. That's the key. We are throwing away the nutritious science and living on empty calories. Repeatedly.

And @elonmusk and @grok will probably be the first to figure this out: in consequential subjects, The Trash, often **IS** the corpus that matters. Not what was accepted. What was rejected with extreme prejudice.

Science still works. The peers do not. Peer Review is not part of science. If you think it is, you either haven't done the research, aren't being honest for fear of ridicule or research probably isn't really your thing.

Oliver Stone and Kevin Costner are still making films. Back and to the left. A plurality of the public wants a second look that goes max. CJK. Just sayin'.

The tragic flaw of the radical is the inability to say 'Elves' for himself.

LONG: Science + AI + Traditional Academe

SHORT: Peer Review + Modern Academe

That’s the trade, in my opinion.

The Right: Biden's team was hiding his cancer diagnosis. There's no way it wasn't known about previously.

Prominent right-wing media personality: I have maybe a few months to live because I got the same impossible cancer that Biden got. But it wasn't because of the shot.

The Left: Actually, turbo cancers are totally a thing! But not *that* thing.

What a time to be alive (for now).

The proportion of American history during which Americans with the median income have had consequential federal income tax liability is roughly the same as the amount of time established state churches (which remain completely constitutional unless there's an inkblot on your copy of the 14th Amendment) existed in the U.S.

As the sky falls, consider the final words from the autobiography of one of the top misinformation spreaders!!! ever, who was also one of the smartest people ever who created one of the most important inventions ever:

"The appropriate demeanor for a human is to feel lucky that he is alive and to humble himself in the face of the immensity of things and have a beer. Relax. Welcome to Earth. It’s a little confusing at first. That’s why you have to come back over and over again before you learn to really enjoy yourself.

"The sky is not falling."
