You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

100% One of the most frustrating things about racism is seeing smart, direct, engaged, committed Black people face off against absolute sacks of shit, moronic white people and white power allows the morons to have the upper hand. This has to end.

Yellowstone’s most habituated raven begging for snacks at petrified tree in the park. Unlike some of her congeners, she and her mate find that hanging out where there are humans is more productive than checking out wolf habitat. They obviously haven’t read Loretto et al.’s paper in Science. #birds
A color banded raven is perched on a log with a hopeful look in her eye. Behind is a nearly snow-free landscape of aspen, pines, and downed timber.

There’s plenty of blood to go around, though. I have often stated my belief that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has it on his hands after his actions during a measles epidemic in Samoa, and now he will get a chance to replicate that disaster on a grander scale, as befits his self-image. Kennedy, our HHS secretary, believes that the 1918 flu pandemic and the 1980s rise of HIB somehow happened because of vaccine research. Marty Makary, our head of the FDA, believes that Lyme disease is an escape biowarfare agent. Jay Bhattacharya, among other things, believes that he is fit to lead the NIH. We are being governed by grinning idiots and sociopaths, and any assessment of our situation in 2026 has to take that as a precondition.
