Over half of the article is a polemic preamble against various theories, that usually means they don’t have a good case (not sure in this instance). Diagnostic substitution and increased diagnosis probably account for some of the increase.

Most high-quality speakers left the platform in 2021. The app has mostly degenerated into cliques. Rewarding the most click-bait titles, revenge rooms and acerbic personalities. There was no plan on sustaining growth or quality and it shows

If I were Putin (a sociopath with no regard for my own safety), I would drop a low yield bomb on Eastern Ukraine. Then ask the rest of the world to roll over give me whatever I ask for. Or Else you'll be next.

A smart man who has despised Putin for years is leveraging this crisis to push the west into full scale war. There are many people dying as a result of an unjust war, but I have yet to see evidence of "industrial scale genocide".

I wonder what the US would have done if not for other governments opening up? Now we have to worry about the millions of masks floating in the oceans.

Is there any compelling reason to limit free speech on social media by the government? There are already laws covering speech limits. Speech limits are myopic in nature, they solve a short term problem by muzzling specific people/views

The photo caption is a good example of misinformation. There is no evidence that anyone was harmed by taking prescribed (human) ivermectin: "A debunked ivermectin study was later retracted from a server, but the damage was difficult to

It feels like string theory will be a cautionary tail of being too myopic on a single promising thread of inquiry. We've probably wasted 20+ years after we should have jumped tracks (or at least stared changing course). Religions of be

PRS is a modern version. The string angles and neck are not from the 1950s. Les Pauls are made for wound G strings, those haven't been in regular use in 50 years. Watch this from Get Back... This happens when you play in a band: https
