Reading Adam Rutherford's "How To Argue with a Racist". Despite the pugnacious title it's largely a fun, readable and highly educational book about genetics (with the occasional glimpse into the worldview of white supremacists). I learned a lot. amzn.to/4rW29Op

Hey all, I’m not posting in the Sunnydale Hellmouth anymore, but just popping in to say I started a substack, as I believe is a legal requirement for middle aged men. Warning: contains science, snark, light swearing. All free, for now. open.substack.com/pub/arutherfor…

I think we lost. What was the point in spending the last 30 years studying so that vacuous windbag and ignorant hams would influence and shape medicine. Good luck everyone.

I mean, could Morgan even describe what mRNA is? Could that walking dead man Bryan Johnson?

@MichaelRosenYes Joy of joy. The Quangle Wangle remains one of my favourite books, and I think I can still recite verbatim.

I loved this speech in Conclave: “There is one sin which I have come to fear above all else … certainty... Certainty is the great enemy of unity … the deadly enemy of tolerance.” He was talking about certainty in the context of faith, but we should all be wary of certainty

Excellent article and thread. This debate has - like many societal issues - become so polarised that it seems almost surprising that someone who is, in principle, in favour of assisted dying could have concerns about the nuances and complexities around it.

@LozzaFox You use your voice to showcase your ignorance, bigotry and failure as a decent member of society.

I’d like to thank all of those who have joined me in tackling systemic climate racism and rising sea levels. And to all those who campaign tirelessly for gender affirming care for trans kids and for reproductive rights in general. I will use my voice to tackle oppression. 🏳️‍⚧️ 💙

Andrew Wakefield wrote a small, scientifically worthless paper pretending vaccines had something to do with autism. It turned out to be not just crap but actually fraudulent, for which he lost his medical licence. He's one of the biggest villains in medical history.

Here on twitter I am suddenly seeing a lot more right wing people who really fancy themselves as penetrating thinkers cutting through woke BS, but then immediately demonstrate that their model of what it is to be a 'penetrating thinker' is Daily Mail editorials.

@IvorWilde Not at all. Still one of the most reliable metrics in psychology. But there are A LOT of caveats within that.
