Former NIH NIGMS director Jeremy Berg emailed Trump's quack NIH director Jay Bhattacharya a review of his performance on Steve Bannon's War Room where he made a slew of unsubstantiated claims about mRNA vaccines π§΅

I honestly had never heard of Sydney Sweeney and still have no idea why people knew who she is before the big hoo-hah over the lame jeans ad, which has apparently led to 9% less people in the jeans stores she was modeling for, so good for them!

Her research suggested that parenting the second child sheβd dreamed of could actually be easier as a single mother. Having it all, in her case, meant subtracting her male partner. She also realized anyone she dated next was not going to be a man. βIβm not physically repulsed by men,β she jokes. βIβm socially and politically repulsed.β https://www.thecut.com/article/corinne-low-having-it-all-not-dating-men-interview.html

I can relate to this because I decided to forget about dating about 20 years ago. I had already done what Disney told me to do, with truly life-destroying, disastrous results. After a couple more tries that were fine but didn't result in a life partner, I decided I was worthy of not having to try and worthy of not having to fit a mold. It was the most freeing decision I've ever made. I'm very sorry that I was taught any differently from childhood.

National Academies, Aug 20, in person or online: Workshop Session on Transformative Science & Technology for the Department of Defense: Operationalizing very Low Earth Orbit
As global threats evolve and technological frontiers expand, the operationalization of Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) presents a strategic inflection pointβunlocking unprecedented capabilities for real-time surveillance, resilient communications, and rapid-response defense systems.
Join the National Academies for a workshop session that will explore the unique environmental conditions of VLEO and the implications for mission design, highlighting opportunities for enhanced Earth observation, telecommunications, and other emerging applications. The session will also examine key technical challenges, such as propulsion, aerodynamics, materials, systems design, situational awareness, ground infrastructure, and modeling, and identify areas where cross-sector collaboration between academia, industry, and the Department of Defense can drive innovation and enable sustained, effective operations in this dynamic orbital environment.

"Many experts note that the same elements that enable AI to support national security can also generate many risks for it, including unclear attribution, better spoofing and deception, and outpacing the human control loop.
One of the top risks is the uneven nature of AI performance, which Bellingham said prompts a need for research on the science of AI and data with a particular focus on providing performance guarantees.
βWe need systems-engineering processes with good guidelines for how you construct your data sets, how you validate your data sets, and then when you construct your AI, how you validate your AI,β he said, adding that experts should consider the application domainβland, sea, air, or space, for exampleβwhen designing this process."

"In the heart of Illinois, while researching wildlife disease, I made a discovery that stunned me: More than half of the raccoons I sampled were infected with Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease. Most Americans have never heard of it. But this neglected tropical disease is no longer confined to the tropics. Itβs here, in the United States, spreading silently in wildlife." #PublicHealth #parasites #disease

I have seen multiple accounts on Bluesky posting this exact wording in the past few days: "Several times this year, Iβve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third-world countries, and we all share the same sentiment: Americans have no idea how bad things are about to get."
Two of the accounts come from allchronology dot com. I think the third one that I saw a couple of days ago was from a well known account. I suspect allchronology dot com has inauthentic accounts on it
So I looked at the site, read the about page, and it definitely looks to me like one of those inauthentic foreign influence sites or just AI slop, or both.
