I listened to this interview and the funniest part was when he was trashing democratic socialists and when asked which one he hated/feared the most he said JB PRITZKER
Bloomberg: Ken Griffin Says Republicans Erred in Cutting Taxes Billionaire Ken Griffin said Republicans in Congress and President Donald Trump made a mistake by cutting taxes even further last year Griffin: “We didn’t have the fiscal space to renew the tax cuts. Republicans have their hands dirty over the tax cuts the last two years.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

wait until she hears about how her boss treats women
#MaineSenate NYT: Susan Collins Says Jackson’s “Oh, Shut Up” Comment Reflects How He Treats Women “I was struck by how reflexive the response, ‘Oh, shut up’ was,” Susan Collins, the longest-serving Republican woman in Senate history, told Fox News on Friday, adding that “the fact that it seemed like such an automatic, quick reply was very telling.” She said the exchange brought to mind what she described as the “reputation” that Troy Jackson, a former State Senate president, had when he was a state lawmaker, “particularly when he’s dealing with women with whom he disagrees.” Link to article: nytimes.com/2026/10/17/us/po…

sometimes I think about how many people’s lives are wasted creating “content” instead of doing something beneficial for society and I get real depressed

I never thought of this but it’s hilarious that the ring kept ending up in the hands of tiny people with no ambition instead of great kings or generals who would’ve been instantly ensnared. By the time it got to Frodo it must’ve thought “oh no not another one”

Curious fact: of the six mortals who possessed the Ring, five were Hobbits. Imagine Sauron interrogating Gollum in Barad-dur; he'd been bribing and threatening mortals for thousands of years, and here's one who doesn't want anything except the one thing Sauron doesn't have.

Generations of Texans have invested billions of dollars into UT. Today it is filled with foreign nationals and Leftists who boo Ted Cruz. John Cornyn says we should accept decline. The voters I talk to want to return our institutions to serving the interests of citizens.

Most science communication today is focused on grabbing attention, commodifying science, and appropriating the work of scientists. It’s become about building a narrative that will get you likes. But it’s not working. It is not giving people a deeper understanding. Mostly, it over simplifies and propagates inaccuracies. It becomes political too. And much of it is about forcing views on others in a condescending tone. Look around at most of your famous sci communicators and you will see. Science comm, while well intended, is destroying public trust in science and scientists. There is NO shortcut to becoming a true communicator of science. Understand your domain before you start communicating.
