A story no one is talking about - last week's high school shooting in Denver.

16-year-old white boy radicalized online and promoting white supremacist and anti-Semitic conspiracies, inspired by - and a fan of - terrorists who promoted replacement theory.

Hi, immunologist here:

(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)

RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation”

That’s NOT how immunology works.

He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.

Weird. But my voice is in an auction to raise money for my community radio station, WGDR. I'll record your voicemail greeting. I can also sing it, which i might actually prefer. Anyway, the CPB just got AXED, so it's time to support public and community media. givebutter.com/c/VeryVermon...

Last night public radio lost federal funding. I encourage podcast producers to pull for public radio now. Reach out to your listeners. Encourage them to give. Shows like mine would not exist without public radio. www.rumblestripvermont.com/campaigns/vi...

Podcast and radio people. Are there new apps/methods for gettting good, warm sound in phone/internet interviews? I'm interviewing someone in another country and want good sound but don't want someone in room w her while I interview. Do people sometimes set up tape synch then leave the room??

Stellar article @ the the Civic Standard in @newyorker.com. Most national rags get Vermont so wrong. They leave out all the salt and subtlety. Chelsea Edgar KILLED it here. This shit is next level. Also best coining of the phrase 'cheese and shit'. www.newyorker.com/news/dispatc...
