Dear Science Deniers,
(Anti-vaxers, anti-maskers, climate hoaxers, flat-Earthers, etc)
You found one another & communicate via stupefyingly advanced technologies that pivot on the discoveries of scientists.

Sincerely,
Your Smart Phone

A young man I knew was murdered at the top of my block yesterday: Shahid Smith.
He was killed by an assault weapon that does not belong on my block or any street.
Shahid lived below me in Brick Towers where I lived for 8 years.

His passing has left an intellectual vacuum in his wake. But it's not empty. Think of it as a kind of vacuum energy permeating the fabric of spacetime that defies measure. Stephen Hawking, RIP 1942-2018.
