You’re exactly right.

Linus Pauling did win for Chemistry and his second was in Peace. All before he went nuts for vitamin C pseudoscience.

I don’t think that last statement is correct. IIRC, several people have subsequently gotten Nobels in multiple disciplines.

So fitting that this is posted in this Lemmy instance.

FWIW, my take was stupid. Deleted almost immediately.

There’s literally nothing wrong or even slightly arguable about what you just said, but a third of people taking the time to vote are hitting the down arrow.

Newsweek is bottom-feeding extremely cheap content, re-processing the opinions of afternoon panel show guests.

There is nothings newsworthy, useful, or arguably even ethical about what Newsweek is doing. And, anyone who can’t acknowledge that has had their frontal lobe melted by the past 7 years.

Substance aside, as someone who grew up with its previous incarnation as one of the two big weekly news magazines, it’s wild to see that Newsweek has taken HuffPost’s model of reporting Twitter as news, and applied it to MSNBC segments.

Given the chud opinion writers I see promoted on the right side of every Newsweek piece, I’m assuming they’re doing the same thing with Fox segments.

We should be so lucky to have someone on the left in Congress with a political project they believed in so much that they would do something like this.

FWIW, it’s become an inextricable part of my life. I use it for hours every day, for programming and Linux advice, spreadsheet help, foreign language practice, and random trivia.

Yesterday, I discovered that Snoop Dogg’s -izz speak from the aughts was actually derived from carny pig Latin.

I’m not promoting it. Just wonder if Musk is getting dangerously close to becoming a generational bête noire, and his enablers with him.

Elon’s shit is untouchable to the kids. New Teslas are not.

You use his charging network?

If you own a new Tesla purchased since he took over Twitter, I suspect you may start having some increased tire and paint bills. I could see it becoming a trend; feels like the kind of thing kids could get into.
