My opinion of @elonmusk I like his cars (I own a 2015 S, and 2023 S), his rockets, his solar energy systems, and his satellite communication system. I also like his positions on open source and patents. But I very much disagree with him on a number of issues. I disagree with…
Remarkable success of modern anaesthesia and surgery masks a major public health problem - preventable mortality and harm after, not during, surgery. Three focus areas and opportunities to reduce the THIRD biggest global cause of death - health-systems.co.za/death-after-su…
“In the aftermath of the October 7 attacks it became apparent that horrific sexual violence was used as a tool against Israeli girls and women. Women were not only gang raped but had sharp objects shoved in to them, or shot between the legs. None of this seems to have merited any…
“Give your body what it deserves” is a great slogan @virginactiveSA - but does it deserve >100dB music in spinning studios = above safe limits for hearing loss. Do you monitor? Do you warn members about the risk? pubs.aip.org/asa/jasa/artic…
🧵Probably the most sophisticated Al Jazeera "journalist" psy-op yet: You may have seen the headlines today about Al Jazeera journalist Ismail al-Ghoul, who was apprehended by the IDF in Shifa Hospital while it was battling terrorists. Given the multiple instances since…
A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read: “Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no…
Lots of takes on this. Many are what people have anyway regardless of this paper, such is the general diet/nutrition discourse, and particularly around UPF. For those of you interested in what an actual evidence-based approach to this paper looks like, buckle up🧵 1/

The most impactful quote on God I’ve ever read: (Also apparently Einstein and Spinoza were Sikh!?) When Einstein gave lectures at U.S. universities, the question students asked him most was: Do you believe in God? And he always answered: I believe in the God of Spinoza.…
The New Rape Denialism On Oct. 7, Hamas invaded Israel and filmed itself committing scores of human-rights atrocities. Some of the footage was later captured by the Israeli military and screened to hundreds of journalists, including me. The “pure, predatory sadism,” as Atlantic…
Wow. Here’s Robert De Niro’s full statement about how Donald Trump should NEVER be president again: “I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men. I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about…
A little history for those wanting to 'restore Palestine'. 1. Before Israel, there was a British mandate, not a Palestinian state. 2. Before the British Mandate, there was the Ottoman Empire, not a Palestinian state. 3. Before the Ottoman Empire, there was the Islamic state of…
The reason people say "river to the sea" is because they believe the entire land is Arab land. The reason they believe the entire land is Arab land is because they don't know that even throughout all the 1,000+ years of Caliphate colonialism, the land was still split between…
Lord Andrew Roberts, war historian, journalist, and member of the House of Lords: Even if you take Hamas’ wildly inflated numbers as fact, the ratio of civilian death to militant death is less than 2:1. For reference, the average ratio for modern urban warfare of this kind is…
Some public service announcements. - Starting a war and losing doesn’t make you a victim. - Self defense against a brutal, savage, and barbaric enemy isn’t genocide. - Siding with the weaker side even though they started the war in the most atrocious way imaginable doesn’t…
Jerusalem is -- at most -- the third-holiest site in Islam. Even then, that overstates its significance in Islamic history. But history makes the issue of who should control Jerusalem very simple. When Jordan controlled Jerusalem from 1948 - 1967, no Jews could visit the…
