A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

[…] ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine […]
I'll be honest, I don't really understand this one. I'd guess that this is likely some hold over grudge from COVID, but I don't really understand why it's still a concern to get, presumably, more open access to those drugs. Aren't we long past that conversation? Feels like beating a dead horse.
[…] raw milk […]
I'd support raw milk being legal for consumers to purchase so long as the manufacturers of said raw milk could be held to account for harm caused to a consumer who purchased it under the belief that it was safe — likely, this would also mean that, if it isn't safe, the product containing raw milk must otherwise display explicit warnings. I think a person should be allowed to take take their own risks.
[…] psychedelics […]
I'm glad that it seems like the war on drugs is showing cracks. I completely support a move to legalize psychedelics.
They're suppressing my ability to digest food?
Thoughts and prayers, America.
Stem cells? Does he know what party he's hitched his wagon to?
Oh, he knows. They took him on an airplane and made him eat food he had just called "poison" for a photo shoot.
He couldn't say no, because of the implication.
Consistency? Not even once.
Nutraceutical sounds like the most quack shit
These people are just so spectacularly unserious.
Waiting for someone to solve the problem by telling him about the dangerous food additive dihydrogen monoxide.
Dihydrogen monoxide has a 100% mortality rate for every person that has ever consumed it.
I actually met this mother fucker in Mexico in 1999, giving a talk on habitat preservation at Lagoona San Ignacio to a bunch of C list celebrities who were there to support the Natural Resource Defense Council and it's efforts to stop Mitsubishi from building a salt extraction plant in the middle of a gray whale breeding sanctuary (super good cause).
I was there with a bunch of high school students who's rich white parents paid for them to go on an expensive ass field trip to watch whales fuck (and do eco protest activist tourism). Coincidentally, the NRDC was there too and they got really excited to invite a bunch of American highschool students to their media shindig.
RFK Jr. got SUPER drunk and gave a sloppy, rambling, barely coherent speech, thanking people for their generosity. The kids were like "WTF is up with this dude? We've never seen grownups act like this!"
We did get to hear some really cool marine biologists talk about gray whales. Then one of THEM (Roger Payne, I think) got really drunk too and told us "Whales are people damn it! But you can't publish that! You can't fucking publish that!"
The biggest mistake was that we didn't nuke the whales.
This is like, one mention of "nuclear wessels" away from being a deleted scene from Star Trek IV.
Roger Payne is right.
Yes, make psychedelics legal!
As much as I want psychedelics to be legal, I think putting RFK in charge of anything important is far too high of a price to pay.
