This speaks volumes:
"The term aerosol was avoided, although well defined in aerosol science, out of concern that its scientific definition is not widely understood."

Is it possible to attribute worsening health outcomes to the changing climate? We think it is. See our new paper (me @granthamlse.bsky.social and @shourodasgupta.bsky.social, CMCC) for more evidence of the health co-benefits of tackling climate change.

How many ab muscles do you have in the front? Six? Eight? More? You’re wrong. This might be my favorite anatomy fact. We often think well you SEE six pack abs on people, so like, each of those must be an individual muscle, you must have like three abs on each side.

I absolutely remember Lippmann's name. But yeah, history has rightly forgotten the PR/propaganda hack's name. We shouldn't forget the lessons of that time, however.

These quotes should be at the top of the interview, so you can judge correctly whether this is somoneone worth taking seriously: "My first plan is to stay alive, therefore reaching longevity escape velocity. I take about 80 pills a day to help keep me healthy. Cryogenic freezing is the fallback."

There's a lot of truth to this except this: There is no such thing as "the media." There has been a lot of excellent reporting on this subject, and some bad reporting from legitimate news outlets.

I am not getting this. All of us in mainstream media said we would not be doing horse race polls any more after polling failed so very badly in 2016. We were supposed to focus on what would x do if elected. Yet here we are, buried in boring and likely inaccurate horse race polls.

Colorado has reported a big jump in the number of #H5N1 #birdflu infected dairy herds in the state. Was 12 this a.m., is now 18. Or maybe 19. There is no 017 in this list, but then earlier today, there was was nothing between 013 & 019, and & there is.
Will have a tweet thread later tonight.

Well, the first few are meant to address polytheism, yes. They are not in themselves polytheistic. Every supporter of the Louisiana law that I have heard or seen interviewed says it's a good thing to tell kids not to kill or steal, but how about forcing people to keep your particular Sabbath...
