Your reminder that Humboldt Fog cheese, Humboldt County, CA, the Humboldt penguin (Spheniscus humboldti),and the Humboldt Current that allows wine grapes to grow in Chile are all named for an 18th C gay scientist whose love letters were all burned and who left his entire estate to his “valet.” 🏳️‍🌈

New: A DOGE staffer developed an AI tool to review Veterans Affairs contracts. But there was a slight hitch. It hallucinated the size of those deals. For example, it concluded that more than a thousand contracts were each worth $34M, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

I can tell some of you people have never watched the WWF/WWE. Elon is doing a classic “heel turn.” This builds tensions and keeps ratings high. By Electomania 2028, liberals will try to tag Elon in, but he’ll refuse. Then, when Trump is about to be pinned, he’ll bit Dems with a steel chair.

So much recent media coverage has focused on how Musk is leaving the WH & politics, how he disapproves of Trump's bill, etc. Such conflict is irresistible for mainstream news. But the story we should be hearing is how Musk has caused tremendous lasting damage. And for that he must never be forgiven.

Couldn't agree more with this. It's jaw-dropping to see the patty cake people are playing with him after what was a full constitutional assault that, oh by the way, is almost certainly going to lead to tens of thousands of people in the global south dying needlessly.

Every time I hear people argue that democrats need better messaging I come to the realization that one party is playing by old rules where facts matter and the other has gone all-in on flat out lies, and it works because the media writes more about how the facts aren't messaged well than the lies 🤷‍♂️

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like if a US exchange student in a foreign country (say, Turkey?) was imprisoned for six weeks because they wrote an op-ed in the student newspaper it would be a huge domestic story and an international incident.

The reporters' suspensions have just been lifted, which is a relief. But still, an absolute disgrace that Columbia/Barnard put reporters — who clearly identified themselves as such throughout the protest — through this.

For a little joy, check out the dress my husband made for our daughter for her birthday. They picked out the (lemon!) fabric and the pattern together, and he's spent every night since then piecing and pinning and sewing and tailoring it to get it just right. Oh, and it even has pockets ❤️

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

One of most alarming red flags to date. Not so much for the impact, but for what it says about Trumps’ footsoldiers’ devotion to his cult of personality. This is full-on dictator mythmaking.
