I have absolutely no interest in fact checking this...but I hope it's true. #cosomusic
Having trouble with focus this morning. Nothing super-pressing on my calendar for the day, so guess I'll keep procrastinating about getting started thinking about planning that manuscript I've been considering initiating for a couple of years.
I'd never heard of LK-99 until seeing this Megan Mcardle opinion piece. It's a good little discussion about the nature of the scientific process, too. So, just putting it out there.
A substance created in a Korean lab could change everything. Or nothing.

One thing about this working at home stuff. I TRULY like it and prefer it. However, when you're on a Teams call or a Zoom call and one of your cats starts barfing up the 15 minute old "breakfast" she just had...just about 4-5 feet away. Makes me think I might need to reconsider my enthusiasm. Jury's still out.

Nah, they're in this until the bitter end, I reckon. He really COULD shoot a Girl Scout on Fifth Avenue and not lose their votes, he was 100% right about that.
Happily, they're just a noisy and dwindling minority. A certain percentage will find the whole thing so embarrassing they'll just stay home instead of voting, and that's fine, too.
They simply need to lose a lot of elections, and that's coming along just SWELL.
These 4 counts against trump carry potential sentences of 5, 20, 20, and 10 years, respectively. I haven't heard or seen about whether they would be concurrent or sequential. I guess it could go either way, and would depend on what the judge decides?

The Devon Archer interview transcript was just released and itโs absolutely damning for Republicans.
Archer is asked point-blank if he has any knowledge of wrongdoing by Joe Biden. He responds: โNo.โ
This was the GOPโs โsmoking gunโ witness.

@ellesu @celticsfanaticentomologist Not to me, we have given the churches decades (my entire life) to pile up extortion and influence money. I was astounded to buy a blessed pope bottle opener, now that's Christlike!

It's surprising how many of the loudest mouths spewing this stuff are doing what they accuse others of.

Anybody involved in the attempted coup of January 6th 2021 is going face a simple dilemna over the next few months.
Flip or fry.
Donald Trump is going to try to save his own skin no matter what. He does not give a flying fish about anybody but himself. The co-conspirators will be left to twist in the wind.
Good night, good folks.
