He/Him. Earnestly giving a shit is the new black. Angry as Hell in DC's missing corner. Sic semper tyrannis. E Pluribus: Unum. “La vie est comme un égout - ce que vous en retirez dépend de ce que vous y mettez." - Tom Lehrer It's chaos. Be kind.

Holy fuck we need to get this here in the US. Stat. Call your Congresscritter.
Ada PalmerEndometriosis takes nine years to diagnose. That’s about to change. NICE has approved two tests: a saliva test reading microRNA markers, and a gut-sensor test returning results in 45 minutes, sparing women the keyhole surgery currently needed. buff.ly/QX3jHk8 #ShareGoodNewsToo

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

I don’t think even many of those who have come to recognize Donald Trump's extreme narcissism and his sociopathy have any idea how dangerous this phase of his pathology is. When malignant narcissists go down, they try to take as many people as they can with them.

Awful: The local press in Maine is crediting Susan Collins for getting Trump to agree to ICE bodycams nationwide. It's cynical BS: She voted for $70 billion in ICE money and against requiring bodycams. But this kind of thing is why she could still win. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2138...

Dems need to take this seriously. Susan Collins is making her move right now to distance herself from the horrific ICE shooting in Maine. She's very good at this kind of maneuver. It's why she keeps getting reelected there.
Greg SargentSusan Collins, who voted for $70 billion in no-strings-attached ICE funding, is now taking credit for securing new bodycams to distance herself from Trump and ICE. This is how Collins wins in Maine. Dems must go on offense on ICE to thwart this scam. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2138...

I don't think people should be mad at Hank Green about this, tbh.
Jonathan JarryIf you’re a science communicator and you use AI, read this. This is about what’s happening to Hank Green.

Similarly, if a random citizen at your daughter's soccer game wanted to check the genitals of the kids playing, you would call the fucking cops, and rightly so. Stop debating these people and call them out for what they are -- creepy perverts, freaky busybodies and utter hypocrites.
Jessica ValentiWhat's the difference between a landlord who sneaks into your apartment to rifle through your underwear drawer and an AG who sues for your abortion records? The state health director keeping a spreadsheet of women’s periods isn’t any less creepy than the abusive ex who still tracks your location.

They think this is a brilliant economy. It is for them. Trump never made as much money as a businessman as he is making now. Do you think this is a brilliant economy? You don’t matter to them. At all.

Not linking to the stuff about Moroccans storming Spain, but FFS, "Spain" is Cueta, a literal Spanish colony in Africa, carved out of Morocco.

Good piece, which is not surprising since it’s Jamelle Bouie. I prefer this title to the one I saw on the NYT website, which was “Why do we tolerate Elon Musk’s racist commentary?” (Because unlike him we actually do care about freedom of speech?)
Gregg Gonsalves"If there is a question to ask, then, it is this: Why does Musk get a pass? Why do politicians, journalists and commentators treat his far-right racist radicalism as a sideshow rather than the core of his political, ideological and industrial project..." www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/o...

'Anthropic described the project as “our effort to disruptively scan all the world’s books” in an internal memo, which noted “we do not want it to be known that we are pursuing this project”.'
Dr. Jeroen W.P. WijnendaeleNo longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
