The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

WTAF? Is Scientific Reports not peer-reviewed? Is the entire article AI-generated garbage?? I thought it was bad when Phil Trans ran that horrible AI-generated cover image last week (see below) but this is stunning.

Our tribal ID’s validity depends entirely on the person we’re presenting it to. My attempting to use it has failed many times because of the lack of knowledge people in government have about it. After this, I expect the feds to try to further delegitimize it.

Speaking as a scientist, I just wanna say that we're fucked.
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?
