Glad to see people talking about Penn Jillette. The 2024 interview was done by me. I found him to be a refreshingly reflective, self-critical individual who has remained curious and willing to evolve.

This will absolutely worsen nursing shortages and especially primary care shortages. I was only able to get my degree and practice as a PCP because I could could access almost $200,000 in loans. Capping loans without enforcing tuition caps is just discrimination

Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger

It's worth remembering that when RFK and all these other boomer freaks were kids in their formative years, the dominant theory of autism was that "cold" mothers caused it and that you could cure it via lobotomy and forced sterilization.

Excellent response from Hasan Piker, who was scheduled to debate Charlie Kirk in two weeks. On his stream he said: “The reverberation of people seeking out vengeance in the aftermath of this violent, abhorrent incident is going to be genuinely worrisome.” Also talked about his own vulnerability

RFK Jr.’s damage to the CDC is ‘past the point of no return,’ Dr. Demetre Daskalakis warns
“The CDC you knew is over,” the infectious diseases doctor told The Advocate. “Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.”

As I just said on CNN, my father's parents were Nakba survivors. I don't want Israeli children to live in fear and I don't want Palestinian children to starve to death. There is nothing anyone could do to make me put nationalistic talking points above basic human rights.

Alligator Alcatraz = internment camp.
This broke me…
“32 individuals inside a cage. It was 81° where we were standing…inside it was probably even hotter. How do I know? Because there was individuals sweating with their shirt off, while they chanted libertad, libertad, libertad.” - State Sen Jones

Reports from inside Alligator Alcatraz echo the darkest chapters in human history- internment camps, Jim Crow chain gangs, even concentration camps - where people are isolated, devalued, and treated as less than human.
This is a moral failure. Let’s keep shining a light to stop this cruelty

I really don't understand how I'm supposed to be made to hate Muslims as some kind of existential threat to "western civilization" when my Muslim best friend will throw hands at anyone who misgenders me, Zohran Mamdani is marching for trans people, and western civilization wants me dead or closeted.

Social determinants of health aren’t distractions from science - they are science. Recognizing them isn’t political - it’s evidence-based. Science doesn’t stop being objective when it engages with the real world.
