I feel like every amazing announcement about AI besides its ability to screw with other computer systems is always followed by “it stole from a person actually”. Like when they built that AI sepsis model that just noticed when nurses started documenting vital signs more frequently.

I think the data shows the kids are alright, and most reads of one crisis or another are moral panics ginned up by cherry-picked and poorly understood data. Then again, I’ve lived through like, 25 moral panics about my generation so I’m more sympathetic.

Malignant individualist mindset makes Americans think they can live as rugged hermits off the land in Montana, when most of these people are only alive because of endless public health interventions they can’t even see.

When your openness to alternative points of view includes people who believe, "maybe AIDS is made up" (Duesberg) or "maybe everyone should be allowed to die" (Atlas), or "the NIH sucks actually" (Bhattacharya) it seems youre no longer being ecumenical but actively inviting termites to eat your house

Yup. Once again ehen you control for family factors and socioeconomics, the screens are revealed to not be the problem. Almost like we’ll just find easy scapegoat after scapegoat rather than just work on the hard things.

Pretty sure it's in the documentary he made about his dad, talking about how he prioritizes family time so he doesn't waste time memorizing anymore. He's pretty open about it, talks about it in interviews and after a quick google search even mentioned it on the Joe Rogan Experience (not a fan).

There is only one question Downey Jr. asks, "did the check clear?" He doesn't even learn lines anymore, and uses an earpiece. I suspect he half-assed the dialogue coaching.

Our world cup bingo. Center square in the last seconds of the game for the horizontal win was the crying british child with tears streaking his face paint. Literally every game the camerman has found a crying kid. It’s kinda messed up.

This story is 🤯 Andrea Shaw’s twin toddlers died—she blamed vaccines & collaborated with RFK Jr’s extreme anti-vaxx activist group CHD She was lead plaintiff in a case in which CHD sued AAP claiming that advocating for vaccines is racketeering 👀 Shaw has now been indicted for murdering her kids

It was a legit bad call. It was a no fault collision. It would have reversed on review without any help. Anti-US sentiment aside no one could watch the play and think that was intentional or over the top reckless.

MarkH @markhoofnagle.medsky.social · 07/07/2026
Yes. The reversal would have happened without him though because it was a bullshit call though. He still managed to smear shit all over everything.

MarkH @markhoofnagle.medsky.social · 07/07/2026
The red card was legit BS and should have been reversed. Mango interfering made the whole thing shady even for FIFA which is really something.
010
MarkH @markhoofnagle.medsky.social · 07/07/2026
But also that red card was BS and the only people who didnt think so weren’t watching. It didn’t need mango to defend the reversal.

Mixed feelings. A win would have been gross with political interference.

Kind of mixed on it. Would be cool if we were finalists. The prospect of mango claiming a victory would have been so gross.

MarkH @markhoofnagle.medsky.social · 07/07/2026
The US team is toast. Mixed feelings. On the one hand the red card call was BS. On the other it was gross to have a president lean on a sports competition. A win would have been sullied anyway. Now I can root for Norway and the Terminator.

And Cabo Verde’s #13, Lopes Cabral, almost did it again from the corner. this guy is an amazing striker. Get him a contract.

Heartbreaking own goal. Was rooting for an underdog story here. Going to goals would have been amazing.

Just an absolute rocket from the corner into the upper corner of the goal. This whole cup has been pretty electric but this game is top notch. And now Messi pulling it ahead again with a great corner kick rolling off the defenders.

MarkH @markhoofnagle.medsky.social · 04/07/2026
That might be the most amazing goal I’ve seen. Capo Verde is at risk of the biggest upset in years.

My favorite St Louis bar, The Royale, has a new cocktail, “the Reflecting Pool”. You can get it with a side of bubbly to help clear it up.
An aviator cocktail with peeling blue painted blueberry spirulina sides and a green algae color reminiscent of the same samed National Monument.

If he were elected the supreme leader of Iran the Dems would celebrate his departure and new job. He lost this because he completely capitulated and had to give them half a billion of our tax dollars to reopen the strait.
