He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Yup. Del Mar, CA.

I’ve learned a lot about sociopaths- they have no empathy, can’t care about anyone else. Can’t be cured- the only thing you can do is run away.

Too bad that the monoclonal antibodies just remove amyloid, and have virtually no detectable effect on cognition. Reagen was the precedent for presidential Alzheimer disease. Luckily he wasn’t also a sociopath.

Explains the MRIs. He must have been diagnosed with AD.

People ARE doing this. I see that you have a pretty high opinion of yourself, Tom. You want to believe you'd be the resistance in fascism, but the fact is that you have no idea how to connect with people actually organizing against fascism. So you're telling yourself it's not actually fascism.
1. If America were fascist right now, I would not be posting here. Neither would you.

Instead, I - and you - would be trying to build networks of people *offline* who can support and protect each other, in the dark, rather than yelling at the president and his stooges in our own names. /2

For the first time in a year I woke wanting to watch the news.

Another Starship flight failed. Each rocket launch costs about $90 million. Estimated $540 million of our taxes literally up in smoke. Does RFK know this? Is he happy with $540 million spent on a dream to go to Mars, while here on the ground, medical research is being gutted?

Wanna be scientists.

Scientists can dream and imagine and discover. And cheat. AI can’t judge whether a published paper is rigorous or contains made-up data.

A colleague told me last week that she and her husband left China to come to the US to escape the cultural revolution. She feels like it’s happening again.

The scar is from the smallpox vaccination. I have one too. The measles vaccine was first available in 1963.

Dentists must have been running out of customers. A shame because kids in Utah have beautiful teeth.

Peter is honorable, which meant that he could not bow to pressure to abandon evidence-based medicine. He is an extraordinary communicator, and I hope that he will continue to speak the truth. And I hope that he can wait this out and come to our rescue when we will need him desperately.

Sucks.

Will they stop when the total reaches the amount that Musk gets each year from our taxes- $3.7 billion?

Clueless. Cruel. If they want to save money, stop paying Musk 8 billion a year for his rockets and satellites.

$8 billion a year in government contracts, right? If he reduced that to $4 billion, all the other cost-cutting could stop.
