middle age man starts listening to red scare, becomes obsessed with failing of neoliberalism, leaves his wife, now we just wait for the next step....

Like many of you, I've learned a lot from @gwern over the years, and I didn't realize he had a Patreon. Just signed up, hope you consider doing so too patreon.com/c/gwern


The antitrusters for Gaetz thing is far dumber than the socialism of fools, it's like the socialism of toddlers who lack object permanence

Vaccines save the lives of millions of children every year. Your support of an anti-vaxxer for the role overseeing vaccines undercuts the Democratic Party's commitment to science and children's health.

Re my thoughts on @RobertKennedyJr, Science must remain THE cornerstone of our nation’s health policy and the science-backed decision to get vaccinated improves public health and safety. But if as a country we follow the science we would also be far more concerned about the…



I want to die and the good news is the odds of that are going way up

TikTok served me an RFK town hall. He spent 10 minutes talking about vaccines, implied they cause autism; then said that he wasn't anti-vax, just anti- all vaccines we currently have, and says as POTUS he'd stop research on drug development and infectious diseases for 8 years.

"Matt Gaetz? The guy who wrote an amicus brief supporting the FTC's noncompete ban?"

Matt Gaetz wrote an amicus brief supporting the FTC’s noncompete ban. He’s a genuine populist on antitrust, arbitration agreements, and corporate power.

Wow, Vivek Ramaswamy comes out for defunding Veterans' health care ($120 billion). He wants to defund the $516 billion spent annually on programs with expired authorizations, and that's by far the biggest one (expired since 1998). cbo.gov/publication/60…

We shouldn’t let the government spend money on programs that have expired. Yet that’s exactly what happens today: half a *trillion* dollars of taxpayer funds ($516 B+) goes each year to programs which Congress has allowed to expire. There are 1,200+ programs that are no longer…

Infrastructure could still use some work

Service Update: Due to ongoing delays with the overhead power issues in Philadelphia (PHL), the service suspension between New York (NYP) and Washington (WAS) is extended to 4pm. Trains in service will be held at the nearest station stop until the tracks reopen. Updates to come.

hey guys, just tossed a coin and it came down heads. My prior was ~Bernoulli(p=.5). What are some good political explanations as to why X=1? Thanks.

Guys I really don’t think “scientific studies that can be made to sound ridiculous if you summarize them uncharitably” is a major contributor to government waste.

In 2023, the U.S. government spent: -$500,000 for Dr. Fauci’s transgender monkey study -A portion of $12M went to study dog rectal temperatures -$2.7M on studying cats on a treadmill -$8,400 on a lobster tank for the DOD -A portion of $12M to study monkeys on meth

In 10 weeks begins a vast expulsion of US immigrants—with and without lawful immigration status. Native workers can expect fewer jobs and higher inflation. I talked with the phenomenal @SoumayaKeynes of the @FinancialTimes for this 30min podcast —> ft.com/content/b35bb6…
