They really made a startup that violates the second law of thermodynamics 💀 You can't focus the sun to a spot less than about 5km across from space. Maybe even 10km, depending on how high up your satellite is. Conservation of etendue means that the angular divergence of the reflected sunlight from any system of mirrors must be the same as the angular size of the Sun, so about 0.01 radians. That means only kilometer sized spots. Do you want to light up an entire city? Maybe! If so, this could be useful. But unlikely you'd want an iPhone app to do that! Lighting up a small area like a garden or a small building site from space using mirrors is physically impossible

Retard says he hasn't noticed any demographic change in his area. Look at the people walking past. The timing couldn't be better.

Interviewer: “Do you ever think about the consequences of rape?” Illegal migrant: “Like, if she screams and wakes someone up?” Interviewer: “No, I’m talking about the girl.” Illegal migrant: “Yeah. When we rape her we might get an STD.” THIS IS WHAT’S COMING TO THE WEST.

A new paper reveals significant publication bias in field studies of racial discrimination in hiring. Studies that fail to find discrimination - or that find discrimination favoring disadvantaged groups - are less likely to be published. [Link below.]

As an ER nurse, its been crazy to see how much more efficient Chat GPT is at discharging "heart attack" patients than our doctors are. Future of medicine is now 🥳🥳

Across all medical schools, about 1 in 4 enrolled black/Hispanic medical students had a below-average MCAT score. Only 3% of white/Asian students did. A vast preferential treatment exists in admissions to almost every med school. Three schools isn't even the iceberg tip.

expecting the courts to give justice is foolish - look at who have been appointed to the bench; look at the lawyers' guild donations, etc. what puzzles me is how the school administrators who did this aren't facing killdozer-level reactions
J.T. Alexander@JTAlexander_

Under Federal law, schools have less obligation to protect kids than prisons have to protect inmates. I've written before about Middle Bucks, which I encourage people to look into, but this case looks closer to Morrow v. Balaski. While in Middle Bucks, the crimes were more severe and the environment such an obviously bad idea, I find in Morrow the school's culpability was much worse. Brittany & Emily Morrow were two girls that had an issue with a girl named Shaquana Anderson. Shaquana had assaulted Brittany in a lunch room back in January 2008. Shaquana was charged as a juvenile, adjudicated delinquent, and put on probation with orders to stay away from Brittany. School administrators had encouraged the Morrows to seek legal remedies and a restraining order, saying that such an order would enable the school to keep the girls apart. The Morrows relied on this, kept their girls at school, and expected Shaquana to be long gone by the time classes resumed in September. Despite the school having an actual policy in place that *required* the expulsion of a student that committed a criminal offense, Shaquana was welcomed back on campus that fall. Immediately, she assaulted Brittany and Emily again; once on a school bus, once pushing one of them down stairs, and I believe there were further assaults I cannot recall in addition to this. Finally, after Brittany was elbowed in the throat in September 2008 (all of these assaults happened within the first month of the school year), the school basically told the Morrows that there was nothing they could do. The Morrows were forced to transfer to a private school just to keep their kids safe. The family ultimately sued the school, asserting that the girls were denied their civil rights to a safe school environment. The Third Circuit held that there's no such thing. You see, if you're in prison the Government has a "Special Relationship," by virtue of the fact that you have no choice to be there. This Special Relationship creates a civil right to a reasonably safe environment. Despite the fact school attendance is legally required, despite the fact students surrender numerous rights while on campus, despite the fact these students spend most of their youth in these schools—that "Special Relationship" doesn't exist. So, then the only way the schools are liable under this theory is if they created the danger. I'd argue that in both Morrow and Middle Bucks, the school did, in fact, create the danger through sheer incompetence. But, I'm unfortunately not a Federal Judge, so my opinion doesn't matter. Homeschool your kids.

According to her lawyer, Noelia Castillo Ramos cannot change her mind about undergoing euthanasia because her organs are already committed. Her lawyer highlights the hospital’s conflict of interest in this case, because Noelia’s organs are worth millions in billable charges. This graphic is from the 2025 Milliman report on transplant charges:

We still don’t know what kind of ice cream Reid Hoffman told Epstein he was “bringing for the girls”. I guess some things will always remain a mystery 🤷‍♂️

There are the dentists who use various imaging and zoom in super close and say you have like dozens of teeny tiny cavities that all need fillings, then there are other dentists who don't use as much imaging and only address the larger fillings. This is why sometimes different present the situation differently to their patients. Then there are the even better dentists that suggest the patient fill the large fillings while providing advice on how to close the small fillings through different protocols. For anyone reading, I recommend looking up advice from @askthedentist (see website askthedentist dot com) and @drelliephillips (<< youtube channel has a lot of info), for info on remineralizing teeth and reversing smaller cavities.

@GrantSlatton This is one of the quintessential consequences of free markets, which themselves stem from individualism. The idea is that nobody has any obligation to do what is objectively correct, because the market is supposed to put frauds out of business. In 2026, we know that's a lie.

Most guys enjoy a "self-destructive" period of adulthood during which we neglect "standard" medical / dental work and expect (maybe hope) our health will disintegrate instead we're just fine for 10 years straight, quietly understand how much of the poking and prodding was worse than unnecessary
