I'm one of a big bunch of journalists who got laid off from Business Insider today. This sucks! Which is to say, I wish the profession I've spent my life chasing wasn't in such chaos. BI does great work, and I hope you'll support the folks still making that happen.

Elon is always lying. Therefore, we must focus on what Elon feels the need to lie about. This "I'm so backing off" lie shows: a) the #TeslaTakedown worked b) the #TeslaTakedown must ramp up He's going to be pulling the same shit & the media will be inclined to push his lie that he's backed off.

This should absolutely be a scandal which people lose their jobs over. You'd have to assume that anyone in power actually cares though to think that would happen, which obviously would be a bold assumption in present circumstances.

I take the subway by myself multiple times literally every day and the most memorable things that have happened recently are that a very cute dog in a purple sweater was on my train car a few days ago and today a guy with a cane got on and literally four people immediately sprang up so he could sit

RFK & Dr. Oz want to relocate ostriches w/bird flu to Florida. They say it's an opportunity to study infected birds in a natural environment. Biosecurity, anyone? I remember when that was their stated reason for closing the top BSL4 lab studying dangerous pathogens. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/w...

I think this points up some of the failures of coverage of Trump's lawlessness: You could've read dozens of articles on Trump's tariff policy with no inkling of how unprecedented & legally dubious was the legal authority he claimed to impose them. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/b...

I think it is mostly DOGE but it is unclear. The lists come from "above" NIH, but that could be DOGE, HHS, or OMB.

It is wild seeing college students be like, "Damn, how did they write papers without AI?" What?! It was 4 years ago. Like you have thoughts in your brain and then you write them down and then you pad it out with some bullshit . Or pull the quotes and write around it.

Yes! I need to watch this documentary, but that’s essentially what I argued in my book. The fact that smallpox became preventable meant that government (ie. we the people) had a responsibility to protect one another from it.
