My impression is that the site has gradually shifted right, but the Overton window has shifted right faster giving the illusion that it has gone left.

Edit: There is something ironic to be said about my very benign comment triggering someone to the point that they felt compelled to create an account and call me classically right wing slurs (subhuman, animal, low-iq). I think its worth considering that the internet/social media has contributed to a growing mental health crisis. Hurt, sick and lonely people seem to congregate online.

The Hamas-tied Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), which is best known as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing case in U.S. history, appears to have access to high-ranking Facebook and Twitter executives and has communicated with these individuals about who should be allowed to stay on their platforms, according to a Wall Street Journal report published Tuesday.

Wow.. talk about subtle.

The downside of this though is that unexpected positive results sometimes get buried. For instance, clinical trials have to report all adverse effects but not positive effects. We've had drugs tested for symptom X fail to have any effect, while causing bald people to have their hair grow back. Yet the company we were testing it for wasn't interested and those results never made it into the public domain.

All white people do have some innate starting advantage due to their whiteness. That isn't to say they don't also have disadvantages too, for instance poverty, disability etc.

Having white skin though gives you an advantage in a system that prioritises whiteness over other colours. Its not racist to discuss this.

Nature should publish less articles about how to do X on the cheap and more articles about how the government needs to increase funding for primary research.

As one of the most prestigious journals around, or at least most well known generally, they should be using their clout to go in and bat for researchers, not constantly being reactive and defensive.

Elon Musk reminds me of a teenager undiagnosed with ADHD. 5 million projects in the works. Zero seen through to completion.

Maybe It's time for people to realise they don't 'deserve' sex and that they should get counselling, seek help and form constructive relationships that improve their lives rather than kill people.
