@thehealthb0t I'm not doubting the claim, but the nhs link says nothing about shingles.

RFK JR - Many don’t realize, the Chickenpox Vaccine Causes shingles Epidemics “When the CDC was thinking about mandating the chickenpox vaccine for your children, they did a study. The person they hired to do that study was a scientist named Gary Goldman, who did a long-term study in California. What he found is that if you give the chickenpox vaccine, mass vaccinate, it stops chickenpox, but causes shingle epidemics later on; which is 20x deadlier. Despite those studies, we mandated for American children in this country, but in Europe they don’t. If you go to the British National Health Service website right now, you can read that it will say, “We do not recommend chickenpox vaccines because it causes shingles epidemics later on… and that’s the problem. (Check the link here: nhs.uk/vaccinations/c…) You can’t say this product is going to prevent this particular disease, but you have to look at the long-term implications.”

@PNWConservative Don't even joke.

I think Washington State drivers should pick up the 18.4 cent gas tax on behalf of the nation. Our bleeding edge Climate Commitment Act is already reducing global carbon emissions, stopping volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and reducing the number solar flares.

@bissuusingh And then the robots come shortly after that.

@bcherny Claude Code request: I don't want my remote MCPs to sync across devices all the time. I want to have the same MCP logged into different accounts on different machines or otherwise be able to specify the context of the authentication. ie. Atlassian at home vs. Atlassian at work. Different context, different accounts, different projects.

Watched a handful of Bodo/Glimt games now. Hauge is so quietly and reliably, excellent. I'm a fan. #BodoGlimt #UCL #championsleague #bodosporting

Ultra-Wide monitors are a scam. After owning several over the years, and switching back to one "nice" wide screen and and vertical mounted monitor on the side I have realized that this is actually peak

@gailcweiner Can confirm Claude Code is 100% written by Claude Code

In 2025 I repeatedly said that no one is really losing their jobs to AI. When it's implied, it's usually a lie covering for something else. The same is not true in 2026. Models have improved just enough to cross that threshold. Tooling around them is actually usable.

Peter Thiel just told Silicon Valley it’s automating away its own cognitive moat. Nobody there is paying attention. Thiel: “It is striking to me how bad Silicon Valley is at talking about these sorts of things.” The industry is either arguing over 20% improvements in the next transformer model or jumping straight to simulation theory. They’re missing the massive real-world shift happening right in the middle. Thiel: “My intuition would be it’s going to be quite the opposite, where it seems much worse for the math people than the word people.” For decades, Silicon Valley worshipped quantitative intelligence. Math and coding were the ultimate safety nets. Thiel: “Within three to five years, the AI models will be able to solve all the US Math Olympiad problems.” Once a machine instantly solves the hardest math problems on earth, the economic value of being a human calculator doesn’t just decline. It disappears. And the historical irony is brutal. The societal bias toward math over verbal ability started during the French Revolution. Not because math was more valuable. Because verbal ability ran in aristocratic families, and math was elevated as the great equalizer to break nepotism. A 200-year-old political accident became the foundation of Silicon Valley’s entire hiring philosophy. AI is about to snap it back. The people who built the models that can now outperform them mathematically spent their careers optimizing for the wrong skill. The future belongs to the word people. The engineers didn’t see it coming because they were too busy calculating.

That second Bodø/Glimt goal was a peach. Great run, nice pass, perfect first touch, and the finish. Unplayable. #InterBodo #ChampionsLeague

@EricRWeinstein @BretWeinstein I believe one, or both, of you would get something from talking to @kimberly102347 even if just to get her story on dealing with "the academy." But the substance of what she found is interesting, too.

@TRHLofficial @grok can you provide quotes to confirm/deny this statement?

Karl Marx wrote that Communism is about disrupting the norms and overthrowing them, primary structures being religion, history, family, truth, and national pride. Now use that lens to look at what you’re seeing in Minnesota and many of the cities.

@TheQuartering Nice work. Progress is progress. Keep it at.

@Rainwontmiss Altered Carbon needs a redo on season 2, if that counts?

Name a canceled TV show that deserves another season.

@AustinFromFl @PeterLBrandt If XRP goes, XLM goes. Those are the rules.

@PeterLBrandt Xrp and …?

Hey crypto traders, do not despair. There are two coins that I think could do quite well in the months to come

@joeroganhq Nick Land @Outsideness

Name a right-winger you'd like to see on Joe Rogan.

@BretWeinstein I think you'd enjoy listening to Cal Newport's response to your position on AI. He's thoughtful, well reasoned, and appears to generally be a fan of yours. Would make for a good guest/conversation. youtu.be/CQHK_AlJTQc?si…

@BCBacker Appreciate you, BCB
