Thought I’d never heard of this one and then realized I did disc at work and was pissed I came out as only one thing instead of mix
Episode 55: Surrounded By Idiots Have you ever wondered why people have different personalities? A guy who’s not a psychologist is here to explain it during a mandatory workplace training.
Lots of serious work gets done that you never hear about until you cut the funding and no one can do it anymore so it becomes a crisis
screworm outbreak is another good opportunity to remind americans that government is what protects us from things like this and not the magical free market. want safe food? government, bitch.
I fully believe living in a big city without a car for years made me braver in the day to day than other people. It’s really weird
Years of media framing cities as scary and violent will do this. Research shows that the the strongest media cultivation effects (media shaping our perception of reality) occur when audiences have limited direct experience with the “scary thing.” So, Fox News plus living in a rural place = this.

A lot of chatter about this nonsense but the thing that strikes me is the men who ARE doing this work have largely female audiences Ps I hate the ‘getting laid’ framing it’s gross. Sex is supposed to be a shared experience bw two people who are both enjoying it let’s start there.
OK so feeling slightly apprehensive about this, which I suppose is kind of the point. This is an attempt at a progressive view on masculinity and on men getting laid. God help me. iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-be-...

In today’s episode of What Are They Thinking: “If you don’t see a hurricane coming… does it really exist?” 🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season. Brilliant timing.
The absolutely misinformation that is pushed the minute anything bad happens and is consistently pushed once you find out that duh, the man who assassinated dems was actually conservative? Is horrific and pointed
Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”
Classic ‘when the facts change I change my mind what do you do’
A hallmark of conspiracy theories is treating "secret" documents as a scandal even when their contents disprove the conspiracy theory. In this case we have leaked slack chats that show the scientists believed the lab leak, looked into it and then stopped believing it. Nothingburger!
It’s almost like these federal agencies and employees had a purpose our present administration was too stupid to value?
I'll just take this moment to point out that the US Institute of Peace, just a few weeks ago, contained one of the finest concentrations of US expertise on India and Pakistan, and crisis management in South Asia.

RFK Jr. ordered the NIH’s Integrated Research Facility in Frederick to stop all research on serious infectious diseases yesterday at 5:00 PM. They study pathogens like Ebola there. You may be familiar with it from The Hot Zone. www.wired.com/story/hhs-ni...
