reading how foxes are self-selecting now, on an evolutionary basis, for "sociable with humans" and then seeing a flood of "this fox decided to be fwiends with me" videos and it's like foxes finally decided that that one particular group of wolves had the right idea when they decided to become dogs

“Apple TV+ is now simply Apple TV, with a vibrant new identity,” the company announced on Monday.

this is definitely not unique to conservatives or the right! imo it's a big part of the story of the failures of democrats in 2015-2016 US politics. it leads you to dramatically underestimate your opponents in a way that makes you extremely vulnerable, because you're not engaging with reality

every time the word “science” appears in this press release, i imagine an asteroid careening towards the earth and think, “bring it”

Attorney General Ken Paxton Slams
Texas Medical Association for Brazenly
Rejecting Patient Choice for COVID-19
Vaccinations
Attorney General Ken Paxton issued the following statement slamming the Texas Medical Association (“TMA”)
for its anti-scientific undermining of new federal guidelines from the Advisory Committee on Immunization
Practices (“ACIP”) regarding childhood COVID-19 vaccinations. Despite this radical shift, TMA's decision was
adopted quietly and has largely been concealed from the public.
“It’s outrageous TMA is undermining ACIP’s new federal guidelines for COVID-19 vaccines that expand
personal freedom and mitigate the medical tyranny of the Biden Administration. TMA has chosen to try and
ignore the overwhelming evidence and science-backed recommendations from ACIP that ensure Texas
children are not subjected to a one-size-fits-all COVID-19 vaccine mandate. This decision should be reversed
immediately, and I encourage every Texas physician to speak out against this brazen, flawed shift by TMA,”
said Attorney General Paxton. “Secretary Kennedy’s HHS and ACIP have been doing incredible work following
the actual science instead of merely trying to get as many jabs into as many arms as possible, regardless of the
true medical justification or lack thereof. I will continue to stand with President Trump and Secretary
Kennedy to help the American people live healthier lives.”
Last month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) and ACIP updated its vaccine guidance
and no longer recommends that every single child in America receive the COVID-19 vaccine regardless of
their individual circumstances. Rather, it instituted a “shared clinical decision-making” process, which gives
parents and families the choice whether they want their child to receive the vaccine or not in consultation
with their doctor. For the first time, ACIP is also issuing informed consent forms of the risks and benefits of the
COVID-19 vaccine, and physicians are encouraged t…

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.
