We should use the Lane Kiffin saga to be noisy that $80-100 million contracts for public employees is unacceptable, esp. in states where hunger is prevalent, not absent from either students at lsu or ole miss. The saga of elite college sports is oligarchic politics

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Last week, the US military missed an actual drug boat in the Pacific carrying 13.2 tons of narcotics, which Panama seized—one of the largest hauls to date. Instead of blowing it out of the water, 10 suspects were arrested, and valuable intelligence was gathered. What a concept.

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.

PSA: despite having Epi-Pens my entire life, literally no doctor ever bothered to tell me the reason they come in 2-packs isn’t so you can keep the backup somewhere else, but because you might get in a situation where one pen doesn’t buy you enough time, and so you shouldn’t separate them.

Epstein was convicted in 2008.
This dump of emails shows him *over a decade later* in constant communication with damn near everyone with any degree of power.

The thing about elon going to epstein island in 2014 is that Epstein very publicly became a registered convicted sex offender in 2008, 6 years earlier.
Note: Epstein set up Elon's brother Kimbal with a girlfriend in 2011, 3 years after Epstein became a registered convicted sex offender.

And like, sure. That's definitely true, and he should have been fired for that.
And his firing - and correspondence with Epstein - should've been news when it happened.
