The evidence-based research on long COVID is limited and of mixed quality. From what I've seen, there are significant gaps in experimental methodology and a lot of studies based on extremely subjective surveys which don't effectiv

This history is important and relevant in the abstract, but what does it tell us about solutions for today's problems? I don't see what Dred Scott tells us about stopping rampant car thefts in Milwaukee. We are where we're at

I think a lot of people who didn't know the contours of this auto theft crime wave, or perhaps even know such a crime wave was happening, now have a better understanding of what's happening and why.

My understanding is that H2S is toxic to nearly all plants and animals. Barring some massive technical leaps, I don't see how humanity survives in the worst-case scenario. H2S on the levels of the Great Dying takes millions of years to
