@mmasnick has done the world a solid for devoting considerable time and effort transcribing Elmo's rambling comments that were indecipherable except for the repeated exhortations that people exercising their rights to free speech and association fuck themselves.
My favorite section:
ARS: I understand that, but there’s a reality too, right? I mean Linda Yaccarino’s right here and she’s gotta sell advertising.
Elon: Yes, no, no, right. Yes. No. Absolutely so. No, no, totally. So, no, no, so. Actually what this advertising boycott is going to do, it’s going to kill the company.
ARS: [realizing that Elon seems to be encouraging a boycott that will, as he just said, kill the company] And you think that the…
Elon: But, the whole world will know that the advertisers killed the company. And we will document it in great detail.
ARS: But those advertisers are going to say “we didn’t kill the company…”
Elon: Oh yeah? Tell that to Earth!

"There’s just one problem: It’s not clear how effective nudges really are. One recent analysis of a large study of nudging interventions found that, after accounting for the fact that positive results are more likely to get published, the evidence that nudges change the decisions people make in their everyday lives is not particularly strong."

"Why were there so few female scientists? Why was science considered a masculine enterprise? Reflecting on these issues, Keller embarked on two projects: her studies on gender and science, and her biography of US geneticist Barbara McClintock."
"In line with the WHO's strategy to stop the spread of this invasive species by enhancing surveillance and control measures in Africa, we incorporated morphological and molecular surveillance of An. stephensi into routine entomological surveillance of malaria vectors in the city of Accra, Ghana. Here, we report on the first detection of An. stephensi in Ghana."
"This review highlights recent advances in our understanding of how particulate adjuvants, especially polymer-based particulates, modulate immune responses and how this can be used as a guide for improved adjuvant design."

"Esta história faz parte de uma lógica que ajudou a alimentar a utilização em massa do carro, com um novo máximo nos Censos de 2021, tendo triplicado em relação a 1991. Isso aconteceu à custa do transporte público e do andar a pé e é a tendência inversa ao que deve acontecer, quando as metas estão hoje viradas para a redução de emissões de gases com efeito de estufa."

Herd immunity by infection, lack of support for isolation, lack of ppe for frontline workers, toxic culture, flip flopping decision making, hairdryers up noses, bleach, aerosol transmission ignored until late… some of things this man will try to defend next week https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/dec/02/boris-johnson-covid-inquiry-appearance?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

"If this sprawling exhibition of 170 artists is an attempt to correct that, bringing Indigenous production into the canon, then it is certainly ambitious in its geographical spread."

Conversations about what Trump might do if reelected often ignore that he did or tried to do those things first time around. He'd just be less fettered.

'Nature reported last month that China’s decoupling from the countries loosely described as the West mirrors its strengthening of science links with low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), as part of its Belt and Road Initiative (see Nature 622, 669–670; 2023).'

"Across the U.S., roughly 6 million adults 65 and over have Alzheimer’s disease. Almost two thirds of them are women — a discrepancy that researchers have long attributed to genetics and women’s longer life spans, among other reasons. But there is growing consensus that menopause may also be an important risk factor for the development of dementia later in life."
