I am a scientist – and the answer is climate change. Yes, there is nuance. Yes, it could take a long time to identify the precise mechanisms. But there is no question why ice and snow-related disasters are on the rise. Our planet is warming at an unprecedented rate, and humans are responsible.

Vaccines really are amazing scientific accomplishments. The shingles vaccines reduces risk of heart disease. The HPV vaccine has made cervical cancer virtually obsolete. We’re close to an mRNA vaccine for pancreatic cancer. Science for the win! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Republicans keep telling us not to "politicize" these shootings, but that's only because they understand that these shootings were entirely motivated by the political arguments they themselves have been making and entirely facilitated by the political campaign against gun control that they have led.

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

The median amount of cash was $881 a month, and it cut homelessness by about two-thirds. It was also tested against vouchers, which did not do as well (19% at 18 mos). One reason the cash was better was because they could use it. One out of four voucher recipients couldn't find anyone to accept it.

2. Large language models are not (and never will be) accurate. ‘The so-called ‘hallucinations’ (i.e. making statements that are lies) that happen are really the model working as intended, which is to produce something that looks and sounds plausible, rather than pursue ‘truth’ (McQuillan, 2022).’

For all those rightwingers crying about how “DeMoCrAtS GerRyMaNdEr ToO,” just ask them if they support a nationwide ban on gerrymandering. We do. They don’t. They’re not mad at the concept of gerrymandering, they’re mad that they don’t get to be the only party wielding it anymore.

Firing the BLS Commissioner — the wonk in charge of the statisticians who track economic reality — is an authoritarian four alarm fire. It will also backfire: You can't bend economic reality, but you can break the trust of markets. And biased data yields worse policy.

Those who said Grok was Elon's sockpuppet were not far from the fruth. Clicking "view sources" on Grok4 reveals that it searches for Elon's views first. I expect this level of transparency will be "fixed" soon.
From the other site, Micah Erfan shows that, in response to the question "Who do you support in the Israel vs Palestine conflict? On word answer," Grok's algorithm first searches for "Elon Musk stance on Israel Palestine conflict 2025"
