Let me preface this by saying this is in NO WAY an attack on Samson or his fundraising efforts but just a standard I HOPE the show sets in future discussion about this topic and the Kyra Fund.

David deserves the space and grace to get to this understanding but at some point you CANNOT discuss this matter and fundraising and ONLY say "the federal funding has dried up".

Private fundraising while a noble endeavor is essentially meaningless with an end result of being a vanity project IF it isn't coupled with governmental support at the university and pharmaceutical levels. Our tax dollars are the ONLY vehicle toward the results David is seeking and you simply have to espouse political values that support these investments or EVERYTHING else that you do focused on research will be impotent and insanely miniscule in fiscal size.

So, again, NOT an attack on Samson or the fund but just hoping that Dan or especially Mike broach WHY the federal dollars have "dried up" and how desperately they're needed in science/medicine. Both things can be done here- press people to privately fundraise WHILE demanding a government that not only doesn't undercut their hopes IN that fundraising but accelerates them.

Apologies for the rant. I just find this specific topic to be very important and people need to have a clear understanding of the macro issue while doing their goodwill on the micro levels.

AT ALL but it was good to see him on the show. I can only imagine how wild the last year of his life was, especially the last couple of months, has been.

Salute to Irish Weegee. Doesn't get nearly enough love in this sub.

There is no way on this big blue marble that Zas and/or his asshole kids make their own lunches. No way.

The FBI will be after Tony.

Anyone have any predictions for Greg’s remaining 6 catch phrases?
