I've gained several followers recently, so I'll reintroduce myself (sort of). I'm "I" and I'm from the best coast of 🇨🇦 (PNW area for my 🇺🇸 friends). I post a lot about nature, science/medicine and art (esp. path art), some aviation, and tons of feline and humourous content...especially lately 🫠 1/2

$20 billion could end homelessness in the US
$40 billion could end hunger globally
Both would still only cost 3/4 of what Meta blew on Mark Zuckerberg’s obviously bad ideas because nobody would tell him they were stupid because he’s worth over $200 billion because he doesn’t pay his share of taxes

Mark Zuckerberg’s gamble on the "Metaverse" has lost his company more than $77 billion.

Punk neuroscientist endorses this. It’s science.
learn an instrument, join a band, spend your teenage years and your twenties killing your bad brain cells and your eardrums with a bunch of other dopey stoners from a wide variety of backgrounds and gender preferences, you come out on the other side with only good brain cells, it's science
If it weren't for a positive chance encounter at 19, I could have easily fallen into that. We men really need to make an effort to put the young dudes we encounter onto positive paths. Don't ask me how, I don't know.

We must never forget: it wasn’t just the kooky Great Barrington Declaration dudes who promoted RFK Jr & his anti-vaxx BS—it was also some magazines, like The New Yorker, which celebrated him as a “maverick” who would take on “the establishment”
RFK Jr’s hype men will have dead kids as their legacy
RFK Jr’s hype men will have dead kids as their legacy
For all his unfounded beliefs and suspicions, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.,’s revolt isn’t against research but against the power long held by scientific insiders—and in this he might have a point, Daniel Immerwahr writes.
R.F.K., Jr., Anthony Fauci, and the Revolt Against Expertise
It used to be progressives who distrusted the experts. What happened?

FRANKLY, I PUT MORE TRUST IN AN INNOCENT TAPEWORM
The Brain-Wormers now run the asylum: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s committee of vaccine advisers voted today to do away with the universal hepatitis B birth dose recommendation — fulfilling a longtime priority of the anti-vaccine movement.

if you study hard, make sacrifices, fail a few times, keep going, get into a competitive program, prove yourself, spend wisely, save money, plan your budget, take care of your body, and pay it forward, you can see it all go up in flames just to make eight or nine god-emperors even more money

I guess 2025 is not yet over, so @cnn.com can try and get in on doing the $#!^^iest thing they’ve yet done.
Seriously. Can we all stop being so cynical, so that nothings matters? So that nothing is sacred?
Whoever at CNN decided this was a good idea, you suck.

Soon, CNN will run live odds on world events where its viewers can gamble on them in real time on their smartphones. One recent Kalshi betting market that allowed people to bet on whether Palestinians in Gaza would suffer mass starvation.

The app company’s two biggest investors are also heavily invested in the Israeli military.

Day 5 - Artsy photo of my cat Harley from a few years back. Messing around with the camera when he walked up and made this moody picture. I so loved that cat.
