PSA:. Me following you is not a request for you to follow me. Happy to have the reciprocity, but I follow out of interest, not another ulterior motive. Ditto in reverse. Not looking to participate in popularity contests in either direction - thanks!.

Whether it's right or wrong, I don't think you can call it anything but "eugenics".
I’ve been working with an IVF startup, @herasight, that has already screened hundreds of embryos. Today we come out of stealth with a paper showing that our predictors for 17 diseases — validated within-family — beat the competition, with improved performance in non-Europeans🧵

Looks like something @matthewstoller should look at!.
Outdated restrictions on internal shipping no longer bolster national security and, in fact, hinder national economic development, write Paige Lambermont and Ryan Young.

I keep seeing liberal media putting out stuff like this when in fact, pretty much literally everyone I know wants the Epstein stuff to get released. Why do they act like this is some partisan thing? Only the establishment seems oddly uninterested.

As @Daganev has pointed out, the migrants are said to receive "due process", therefor, yes, this is a "jail" not a "concentration camp". I stand corrected. I'm still not a fan of it, but again, I stand corrected. See:.

Florida's attorney general says the migrant detention facility is on track to open in early July, at a little-used airfield in the Everglades. Environmental activists hope they can stop the project.
