It’s wild how much media attention this has gotten when the confidence interval is so large. You might as well just say ‘we don’t know anything and we’re looking into it’ if the range is somewhere between .5x and 10x!
![But the study's senior author, Prof Marja Lamoree, at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, rejected suggestions of contamination. "The reason we focused on blood in the first place is that you can take blood samples freshly, without the interference of any plastics or exposure to the air," she said.
"I'm convinced we detected microplastics," she said. "But I've always said that [the amount estimated] could be maybe twice lower, or 10 times higher." In response to Kuhlman's letter, Prof Lamoree and colleagues said he had "incorrectly interpreted" the data.
Prof Lamoree does agree there is a wider issue. "It's still a super-immature field and there's not many labs that can do [these analyses well].

The abolition of ICE is now the bare minimum.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

The thesis of the book is that early COVID lockdowns weren't worth it and mid-COVID mitigation measures like masks, contact tracing and business closures don't work.
This is laughably false and the authors have endorsed the people now running Trump's HHS.

Everyone involved in the publication and promotion of this book should be embarrassed. It's not a "harsh truth" that COVID mitigation was a mistake, it's ghoulish and false.

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

In fact, one of a trio of government censorship conspiracy allegations that Roth was listing and demolishing one by one. Misrepresentation so brazen as to beggar belief, getting accolades from leading publishers. This is what an actual "clown world" looks like. 🤦
