Tangential Post | Credit, Where Credit Is... Due: Martin Shkreli At Least Gets An "A" -- For Effort, On Speaking To Philistines...

We have been pretty strident -- in our coverage critical of Mr. Shkreli's crimes and civil antitrust conspiracies. We stand by all of that. But to be fair, he tries from time to time -- to rehab his reputation. This week, it is by arguing with Neanderthals, over on X-itter, about the actual bio-science of. . . human gender. [Not some quasi-biblical mis-interpretation of the same.]

Admittedly, it is only on one topic.

But I will give him credit. . . for at least trying.

Yesterday, into today, he tried to pick a fight with a group of "Flat-Earther" people on X-itter, those who think they understand gender's bioscience. Or the Bible -- or something.

I applaud the effort, Martin -- and you are right on the DNA/genome science you offer.

But you are speaking to a social media site increasingly populated by morons and trolls -- some beholden to Russian oligarchs, and to Tangerine, of course.

That is by design, under Elon Musk. A feature, not a bug.

So -- I wish him well -- but it is a waste of. . . electrons, and breath. Just migrate to BlueSky, or Counter.Social or Mastodon, man.

Word to the wise.

I'll look for something a lil' less. . . trivial, around the noon-hour. . . as we await the snows, here.

Out.
