I am interested in what they think the mechanism is to get ~0% of 80,000 global oncologists to talk about a cancer breakthrough.
"Scientists don't want you to know" immediately marks what comes after it as a lie intended to sell you some bullshit patent medicine nonsense.
Anyone who has even passing familiarity with scientists knows that they love to talk about science.

I love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M
On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to

Donate to the candidates on the front lines of the fight against MAGA gerrymandering

I guess it doesn’t bother that guy that his whole vast public shtick could be reduced to a three-step algorithm you could fit on an index card with room left over
You heathens don't get why -- as a serious Christian -- I must vote for the man who has a record of lying, stealing, and cheating on his wife who got so tired of his sinning she said she was seeking a divorce "on biblical grounds."
This guy preaching Christian love? I fucking hate him.
I am smart.

This is more of the same lawlessness we’ve seen elsewhere around the country.
Our country deserves accountability. Our country deserves the humane treatment of every person here. In fact, our Constitution demands this. 3/4

Weirdly fitting to start the day thinking of one extremely long-lived sax master on Marshall Allen's 102nd birthday, and end it thinking of another on hearing of the sad loss of Sonny Rollins.

Here’s a video from the same podcast as linked in my previous post where you can hear the audio too. I love this because it really lays bare how LLMs fool us - but really they’re just slotting words into linguistic patterns that we’re familiar with. Genres like a podcast or LinkedIn post.

So gas is more expensive but it’s easier than ever for me to mine coal in a public park
Loeffler on high gas prices: "We continue to give relief in other areas, cutting $6 trillion in regulations that the Biden administration put in place. So the list goes on and on of the relief that we are providing to the American people in real time."

Ok there's a lot of incorrect information going around on this, so I want to be clear that the problem with the Big 3 and EV's isn't that the Big 3 didn't want to make EV's. The problem, as with so many things, is Trump. I'm gonna do a little thread on this because people don't seem to be aware. 1/x
if i were a shareholder of an american automaker id want to know why my ceos were so stupid and shortsighted that they not only didnt see this coming but actively fought it
Not only is this not happening, the Chinese dominance of EV’s is a terrifying development for US auto manufacturers.
