Banks are aiming to issue cryptocurrency. Lawmakers just put a line in the GENIUS Act saying when a bank issuing crypto goes bankrupt, crypto investors get paid before regular depositors. In other words: your savings account becomes crypto’s bailout fund. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

It says a lot about where we’re at in this country that a beloved voice actor was murdered by his homophobic neighbor and every headline is still running passive defense for his killer, doing everything not to call this hate crime what it was. These are scary times. RIP to Jonathan Joss.

This squid — transparent & beautiful — was spotted during the #SouthSandwichIslands expedition, half a mile beneath the surface. It’s been 37 days & 14 hours since our last squid post. We had an inkling that it was time for some Cranchiidae, the family that comprises abt 60 species of glass squid.

Standing up for the silent majority of voters who celebrate and treasure their right as Americans to owe $11,000 for getting rushed to the hospital on one of the worst days of their lives. It's called "being moderate" and it's how you win elections.

Yes, everything is terrible. It’s likely all the bad things that can happen will. But those videos where people push back against ICE, where they publicly boo and shame university presidents. They matter. The court of public opinion still matters. We have to create the right outrage.

I've met people who think telling fellow authors you're a fan is weird or cringe or fanboy-ish or whatever. I give zero fucks. I love books. I'm a fan of great writers. I've reached out to half a dozen just this week to say I loved something they wrote.
