Our Food System Depends On It. RFK Jr.’s Followers Hate It—and It Has Been Linked to Cancer. I’m an epidemiologist. Here’s what the research says.

My new piece about glyphosate and why it's probably fine for your health unless you're spraying the stuff in which case the data is mixed.

Also, RFK Jr. got attacked by all of his friends and it was very funny to me.

Great thoughts and thanks for this. I agree. I found that when I used claude, it'd get me past a lot of initial headache of learning new techniques, reading substack, etc. From there, I was able to take over and learn the details.

I had a bill of $30k in 2013 for the rabies vaccine as a grad student. My insurance wouldn't cover a dime. It's fucking absurd insurance companies do not cover rabies vaccines.

Here's the floor plan for the new ICE concentration camp in Georgia. Look familiar? Let's take a look at some similar blueprints throughout history.

On the heels of this post last night, I wrote about using the term "concentration camp" and why it matters.

DHS: Our officer was ambushed and beaten with snow shovels and broom handles. This was an attempted murder of federal law enforcement.

ICE says federal agents appear to have lied about confrontation that led to shooting

Agents had initially said that two men — Alfredo Aljorna and Julio Sosa Celis – assaulted them with a broom and a shovel before one of them shot Sosa Celis. But that account was quickly called into question, and prosecutors now say “newly discovered evidence” contradicts the officers’ story.

The default assumption should be that they’re lying

Do you have a recipe? I've been meaning to make these for a while, but haven't.

I was going to make America's Test Kitchen's version, but no idea if it's worth the time.

Hard agree. I voted for harkin growing up, and when learning about him supporitng DSHEA made me swing right in grad school. I was definitely too edgy at that time, but I still am mad I voted for harkin.

I get a lot of questions about this tweet.
Hitler was right that Anglo-American elites in the 1st half of the 20C were irrevocably hostile to German sovereignty, and defeat, diplomatic, political, military or economic, would lead to Weimar at best, Moscow at worst

Germany got Hitler because there were too many subjects about which only
Hitler spoke the truth.
This made a lot of Germans regard Hit!...

Hitler genuinely believed he was fighting a race war against an international Jewish conspiracy.
Not a trace of evidence of any insincerity.
When he bombed London his plan was to wake up Kipling's Saxons from their Jewish hypnosis. Of course he had never been to London

The live players whose actions match the models of "realist" statesmen are Hitler's enemies.
If FDR or Stalin ever did anything that did not point in the direction of total world domination, I am unaware of it. Sure, their plans did not always work out. The first time

When we look at the Jews in FDR's circle, they are perfectly assimilated as WASPs and mostly of German aristocratic descent.
The only way to tell is the name and the nose.

The Jews around Stalin are 100% Bolshevik and 100% terrified of him. They might as well be Latvians

While there is never 0 ethnic solidarity, elite Western Jews consider ethnocentrism (for themselves) shameful and barbaric, and/or make elaborate excuses for it / jokes about it.
Not that they're not excited about black ethnocentrism or terrified of white ethnocentrism. They are

It's not even untrue that on average, Jews are a little less American than WASPs, and maybe even neurologically divergent from the Albion's Seed populations, not just in IQ but also in personality traits. Genes are real.
But my brother in Christ, these are very subtle effects

It wasn't Jews who first decided that there was some magic way to make all Somalis, Samoans, Sikhs and Senegalese into Americans.
Oh no. This is a 19th-century mainline Protestant missionary trope. Core Boston mindset.

Curtis Yarvin has written a very long screed in defense of his post in which he said, “Hitler spoke the truth.”

A sampling of select portions is below and includes, in reference to Jewish people, the words:

“The only way to tell is the name and the nose.”
