Timely! We're trying to friend our friend's friends and they wanted our recs for CDM and all I could remember was Casa Barragán, and now I'll be like Casa Barragán and also do Kelsey stuff.

And to keep going with the cult allegation, the unfalsifiable self-reference is the core of the "let me convince you scientifically that God exists" rhetoric, too.

It's also unfalsifiable. All of the risk calculations are sourced to vibes, or sourced to papers that are sourced to vibes, and more often than not sourced to self-authored papers sourced to vibes.

Kind of took it for granted at the time, but in retrospect, it's just bleak that my friends' recreation required an extraction scheme.

This is a little tinfoil hatt-y, but without knowing what the cervical cancer screening recommendations were, it's hard to imagine any reason for scrapping them besides hiding the effectiveness of the HPV vaccine.

Don Mattingly is a bad manager and makes bad decisions and it’s weird that teams keep hiring him.

When I set out to fact check “The Cities That Said Yes to Drugs” which argues that harm reduction may increase overdoses, I expected some cherry picking and misdirection. But not to find basic math errors and debunked right wing talking points asserted as fact in the Atlantic’s print edition.

I'm pretty sure my response to the article was almost verbatim, "SF's overdoses kept rising after they closed the TLC and I don't have the energy to fact check the rest," and I am SO grateful that you did have the energy.

Hi sorry what? I was an insecure male who was really into Buffy (though not defensive about it) and I got as far as "the magic system has rules" and... this is 100% not even remotely a thing my group of insecure males ever discussed or even vaguely clocked about the show.

And, like, the survival both now and in the EEA was defined by descendants, not by not being eaten by a leopard, so it would be nice were he confessing to a truly historic level of unfuckability. Sadly, we know he's been fucking and indeed it's more or less what dragged us all in here.

How much is about population density, rather than population behaviors? And how much of it is purely awareness--a western media slowly and somewhat grudgingly accepting they can no longer treat the entire global south with a shrug?

So what I can't quite reconcile in this narrative is: humans have been living in these forests for millennia. They *must* have been in the chain for zoonotic diseases. How much of ebola spillover isn't "spillover" at all, but a vector the viral lineage long ago adapted to exploit?
