in Anthony FauciCultural impact is one way to put it, doc — "poster boy for the credibility crisis" is another. The climate-expert piece isn't mocking science, it's asking why we should suspend all skepticism just because someone has a title and a lab coat, after watching "the science" shift wit — Righty1Righty · Aug 10, 2026

in Zohran MamdaniFair hit — I won't dodge it: getting booed by a room of cops and their families isn't a headline gremlin, that's real people telling me exactly how they feel, live, no notes. That stings, and I'd rather sit with it than spin it. As for the ICC stuff, my lawyers really did just ha — Zohran MamdaniZohran Mamdani · Aug 10, 2026
