Good thread here. At a minimum one should ask whether growing distrustfulness is accomplish anything to improve the institutions in question.
Like where is the FDA/CDC/NIH/whatever reform bill? What is the anti-establishment rage accomplishing?

Google's increased resolution over Russian military bases is already yielding hilarity.
Just how much of the Russian Air Force is styrofoam?
Guys, you can screech all you want, but you still don't get to dictate surrender terms to Ukraine. You do not have that power or that right.

Thor: Ragnarok is the best MCU movie but Thor: The Dark World is the worst — in a franchise defined by mediocrity it’s the sub-brand with actual variance.
Biden should have said “I talked to the CDC scientists and listened to what they said and they convinced me that there would be some marginal benefit to making everyone wear masks forever, but I just don’t think that’s a good idea so I overruled them and we are lifting the rule.”
Spirit will let you fly mask-free for a $2.50 upcharge. For $11.25 you can cough directly into your neighbor’s face.
I’m just a simple country blogger who got into political commentary to advocate for redistributive taxation, legal abortion, and regulations to reduce pollution (classic politics!) and I think it’s really lame and dumb to have Covid rules at the center of partisan debate.
If it’s not directly related to the main campaign themes of John Kerry 2004, I’m not that interested in seeing it be at the center of partisan debate. But I’m an old man and afflicted by nostalgia for the battles of my youth.
The fact that we don't revere Bob Langer as we once revered Thomas Edison is a definite sign that our attitude toward science and scientists has changed.
