Here’s the thing: When you tell emotionally-unstable, social-approval-dependent, weak-minded masses, in whom you have seeded chronic victim complexes, that their policial opponents are literal Nazis, you’re running the risk that few of them might take you seriously and act, not realizing that you’re just manipulating them and leveraging their fragility for … votes. Something to consider.

I don’t think it’s a matter of “trust” per se. - VCs are hedging/underwriting the potential upside (however unlikely), - businesses get FOMO and jump in without understanding limitations, and - the public reacts to fear/“everything changes” narratives Hyperbole is the common denominator to all three.

Why is it everyone with an absurdly futuristic AI take is someone who - as best I can tell - doesn’t work on (and often never has) real software that has real users and real requirements? More so, why do you trust them?

@zaelefty It’s also not “HRT.” It’s cosmetic wrong-sex hormone administration. You can’t *replace* a level of hormones you never had.

I'm going to call this right now. We are going to have a large population with absolutely no critical thinking skills if they blindly trust AI for everything. We have all already seen it. They don't validate outputs. They don't really understand anything. They just ask questions, it looks good, and they go with it. There are going to be huge issues in every company as this continues over the years. The amount of technical debt and knowledge gaps are going to be insane. So much opportunity if you actually know what you're doing.

@AJKayWriter Birx told us right at the start we were counting everybody with a positive test as a covid death, but I got banned for repeating this information.

We definitely* did not “undercount” COVID deaths. What *did* happen was virtually *every* hospital and morgue was testing every patient and body at the time for Covid … and then cross-referencing every death certificate with testing records to find even more among the supposed "negatives." And let’s not forget they were using tests with cycle thresholds high enough to detect DNA from practically *anything*. Oh, and they *had* to do it or risk losing federal funding. And now some “researchers” have gone and trained an algorithm to recognize the “characteristics” of a Covid death under the above conditions — basically turning “Covid-related” into “anything in a hospital” — and then extrapolated that model to deaths in places that weren’t swabbing everything with and without a pulse … and of course they get “undercounting.” Garbage in, garbage out isn’t a new concept. And people still wonder why no one trusts “science” anymore.

We have severely undercounted the number of COVID deaths, scientists say spklr.io/6012EHor4

This is the most insane thing you’ll see on 𝕏 today … Trump’s NIH spent $126 million on Fauci-era puppy torture experiments since RFK Jr. took office. When MAHA flooded HHS phones yesterday, they got sent to voicemail with this message: “Thank you for calling Domino’s Pizza!” That’s how HHS officials are responding to MAHA supporters demanding the reforms that we voted for. They’re laughing in our faces. White Coat Waste has spent the past year exposing Trump’s NIH for lying about shutting down Fauci-era beagle experiments. NIH leaders claimed over and over that they’re “phasing out” these barbaric experiments on puppies, and that funding for them was already approved before they came into office. But it’s completely false. NIH has approved $126 million in new funding for these experiments since RFK Jr. took office. And instead of addressing this MAHA betrayal, HHS officials pulled this childish prank. @WhiteCoatWaste @JustinRGoodman

@Holden_Culotta I have lost trust in @DrJBhattacharya. NIH director was a big enough role, and he apparently has not done well. Why was he given the @CDCgov director role as well? With so many qualified people, why was he given both?

@gcugrey_area @sciam Not even a little surprised. This is SO well-documented. I interviewed several coroners myself and they all said the same thing. … and yet this BS persists.

It is very strange to publish an article on the gender dynamics of mass shooters and not mention that the two "female" shooters used as flagship examples here were biologically male. Males commit more than 90% of violent crimes.

I’m at the UN for the Commission on the Status of Women, where every representative is obsessed with using the word ‘gender.’ Women don’t suffer from ‘gender-based violence.’ It is sex-based violence. And you cannot appropriately protect women from sex-based violence while simultaneously pushing the idea that men can have a female ‘gender.’ There are two sexes, zero genders, and infinite personalities. Stop using the word gender when you mean sex.

This is so cruel, @nypost. You know damn well that your headline is *intended* to humiliate her. And you don’t even quote the claim about people thinking she’s in her 20’s. Chances are you’re grossly exaggerating what she actually said to get more people to pile on. A woman who is 67 and happy in her skin is a good thing … (and I say this as someone who thinks non-medically-indicated Ozempic is a horrible idea, but that’s a separate issue.) IOW, shame on you. Or maybe shame on me for expecting better.

@AJKayWriter Dunning-Kruger is one of the worst papers in a field known for terrible studies. The authors misinterpreted their own data, generalized a non representative sample, and more. I wish people would stop giving this garbage legitimacy. It's a stupid paper & theory.

The most reliable feature of any Dunning–Kruger post is the self-satisfaction of its respondents. Tens of thousands of people nodding along and effectively zero wondering if they might be on the left side of the graph. Utter perfection. 🤣👏👍
Stellar@StellarArtoisGB

Did you know 😏 He rubbed lemon juice on his face. Robbed two banks. Smiled at the cameras. Got caught in an hour. And changed psychology forever. In 1995, McArthur Wheeler walked into two banks in Pittsburgh and robbed them with no mask, no disguise, and lemon juice on his face. He believed that because lemon juice works as invisible ink on paper, it would make his face invisible to cameras. He smiled directly into the security cameras. Police aired the footage on the evening news and arrested him within an hour. When shown the tape, Wheeler stared at the screen and said, "But I wore the juice." He had tested the theory with a Polaroid selfie and didn't appear in the photo — because lemon juice got in his eyes and he aimed the camera at the ceiling. His case inspired Cornell psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger to publish their 1999 paper defining the Dunning-Kruger Effect — the cognitive bias where people with low ability drastically overestimate their own competence.

This paragraph by C.S. Lewis, written in 1948, still hits hard: “If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things—praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts—not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They may break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds.”

I appreciate efforts at coalition building, and it would be useful to have the Senate’s ‘regret’ on the record. But a simple Senate resolution is nonbinding: it cannot change statutes, direct agencies like GAO, limit emergency powers, or create compensation or spending obligations. It can express the sense of the Senate, not rewrite law. And I don't think that's being clearly communicated. However, my primary concern is that if this resolution becomes the end point instead of the starting point, it lets senators say they ‘did something’ while the real work—passing actual legislation to change the law and restrain executive power—never happens.
