Basically, I suspect the media is arrayed against the Dems in general and trying to placate them is just going to convince them to go harder against us.

I’m not sure how any other Dem candidate will fare better. First we’ll have a month of “Dems in disarray” attacks and then they’ll find some flaw of the new candidate to harp over and accuse the Dems of poor candidate vetting.

The fact that Trump is actually weakly attempting to pretend he doesn’t back Project 2025 = EXACTLY why you need to be telling everyone you know about their evil, violent plans.

French ambulances always stabilize patients at the scene rather than rushing to a hospital. Many injuries in the US result from penetrating trauma & require fast "scoop-and-run" management by surgical teams. In France, most injuries are due to blunt trauma so a "stay-and-play" strategy is used.

In fact, if you take Trump's word for it, he's clearly the weakest executive this country has ever had, with now-countless examples of "stupid" and "terrible" people doing things on his authority that he had "no idea" were happening and "completely disagreed" with.

Filmed some cool science stuff at the beach today and will make a video on it tonight. It’s a simple demo that most people will be able to do and a few years back it changed my perspective when I first did it on the thing I’ll be explaining.

Here's my final figure showing the scattering efficiency of a sphere in Mie scattering, with the different multipole contributions illustrated. I ended up citing Wikipedia because I could not find a better choice of parameters than theirs!

Would a statement from the “White House physician” that Biden is perhaps the healthiest president in history, and that he’s built like a linebacker do the trick? And would you not then elect that physician to Congress? No? I don’t get it.

It really is making *me* feel crazy to see a bunch of other Democrat voters running around screaming about how Biden is now unelectable, on the basis of one bad debate and an incredibly obvious ratfucking campaign by America’s most craven newspaper.
