WHO KNEW THE ROMANS HAD SPACE TELESCOPES? Roman Space Telescope starts waking up as NASA powers on instruments for the 1st time.

FIGHT THE POWER:

This is a big announcement. Leftists have had their own free legal representation for decades. Conservatives haven’t.

This is because traditionally, conservatives have thought of politics as winning the debate. It’s comfortable. It’s institutional. They don’t have to be “mean”… https://t.co/Vk3OU6wUoG

HMM: Are GLP-1s the New Statins? “As their popularity grows, so does the number of health benefits that reach beyond the scale. The most consistent and robust findings seem to be for the heart. In fact, GLP-1s appear to have similar cardiovascular results to statins—a well-established cornerstone of cardiovascular care for decades. But there is one glaring difference: people actually want to take GLP-1s. Despite the expanded use of statins among younger folks, they have grown an unpopular reputation for their potential muscular side effects. Given that the most promising recent cholesterol drug didn’t actually work, is the next pivot toward GLP-1s? And will Ozempic and Mounjaro soon usurp the reign of statins as the go-to heart drug?”

“SMART IN ‘ALTERNATE’ WAYS” IS WHAT DUMB PEOPLE SAY:

Sad thing is this is normal. She genuinely, warmly thinks her people are smart in "alternate" ways, and that being good at tests (close reasoning and linear thinking) is "white." I wrote about this strain of thought a few months ago here: https://t.co/uBZ7R2Xs5n https://t.co/MbvBTuGzyB

AS USUAL, ERIC S. RAYMOND NAILS IT:

I am in fact going to say "intelligent". She was on the math and robotics teams at her high school. She restores and maintains her own cars. She's been shrewd about managing her career. And she even shoots tactical pistol competently.

She is also, if one can judge from her…
