Happy birthday to the US Navy.

And in particular to the captain of the USS Missouri.

Who, when Cher walked out on deck in this, not in the jump suit they'd been promised, went:

"Ah. Fuck it. YOLO."

And later almost got stripped of command for it.

Next time an institution tells you how seriously it takes research misconduct, ask them if it's *this* seriously. www.bmj.com/content/297/...

In 1916 the BMJ published an article about the work done by James Shearer, an American physician working in the British Army as a sergeant (because he had no British qualification). He had described a
"delineator" which was better than x rays for portraying gunshot wounds. This caused a sensation and a lot of interest — but on investigation the work was found to have been invented. The BMJ published a retraction, but Shearer was tried by court martial and sentenced to death by firing squad.

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

Nah, I think we’re anarchists because of a combo of not wanting to follow any rules that don’t make sense to us, and a heightened sense of fairness/unfairness (I’ve seen this referred to as “high justice sensitivity”), both of which discourage buying into a highly centralized, unaccountable state.

This *has* to be a clickbait/ragebait article. I refuse to believe this was written in earnest, unless the writer has a track record of being very, very out of touch and very, very dumb.

I remember you (and Luana too?) mentioning Banshee ages ago when I didn't have HBO, or any streaming platforms, really. Pandemic happens, I now have just about *every* streaming platform, but I'd forgotten about Banshee because it had been so long ago. This reminded me, and I'm now on season 2.

"Ziam" is a movie that asks the tough questions, like: how effective is Muay Thai against zombies?

Based on that description alone you already know if you want to watch this or not.
