My article this week will put you in the captain's chair as I ask you to tell me if you would approve a new blood-based, multi-cancer screening test. Sounds like an easy question. Is the test worth it? In reality, it's a fucking Rorschach test, as the FDA recently found out.

In line with the caloric burn overestimation from gym machines like treadmills, if I recall. Basically, just because something is measured doesn't mean it's measured well.

Feng shui is something skeptics rarely talk about, as if it exists outside of our scope. But it really doesn’t. It masquerades as scientific, yet is clearly pseudoscientific, and it’s a great case study for science education. www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/...

That’s science. It’s about formulating hypotheses, yes, but crucially also about testing them, trying to see if they hold up. When you don’t test feng shui in that way, you end up spending millions of $ in compensations, lawsuits, and building rearrangements.

Jonathan Jarry @jonathanjarry.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

It’s one thing to posit that everything in the universe can be reduced to a single force; it’s quite another to prove it. When Thales of Miletus said that everything was water, we were able to test this. Lavoisier proved it wasn’t true: you could break water down into H and O.

You may be shocked to know how much money is being wasted catering to feng shui, a pre-scientific belief system that makes claims about the material world. It all hinges on qi, an energy that has never been detected, measured, or quantified. My latest for @mcgilloss.bsky.social

X v CCDH oral arguments in Ninth Circuit today focused on CFAA, contracts, and jurisdiction over the Dutch civil society nonprofit (ECF). It did not go well for X, I’d say. X claims that by using scraped data from X to report on hate speech, CCDH became responsible for lost ad revenue.
