I welcome the decision by World Boxing to introduce mandatory sex testing, which is in line with the recommendation I made in my thematic report to #UNGA79 (A/79/325) worldboxing.org/world-boxing...

Analysis from the Joint Committee on Taxation makes one thing clear: the House tax plan would be a huge win for the rich. The tax cuts in this plan would send most of the benefits to high-income households. 41% of the benefits would flow to the richest 5% of families. itep.org/house-tax-pl...

Serious question: Is this #MAGA parody, #MAGA logic or #MAGA philosophy?

Just 52 days after first the president turned his eye on the firm, Perkins is now permanently protected by just about the strongest court order conceivable. Meanwhile, the nine firms that bent the knee are trapped in servitude to the White House with no end in sight. Let this be a lesson!

* TRUMP ON ECONOMY: THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE @reuters.com

the golden girls in famous works of art: thread

“Governance should not be understood as an impediment to AI innovation but as an essential component of it.”

When the argument for the utility and benefit of a technology hinges on "if we ignore everything we know about human behavior" caution is required. In many ways, the invention of generative AI as a tool is more comparable to the gun than something like social media.

I spoke with @apnews.com about so-called woke AI: “to say that AI systems are ideologically biased is to say that you identify, recognize and are concerned about the problem of algorithmic bias, which is the problem that many of us have been worried about for a long time" apnews.com/article/arti...

I made a timeline of all the actions in Trump's (almost) first 100 days that have upended science and health. It was staggering to me to see it all in one place, even though I reported on many on these events. www.statnews.com/2025/04/24/t...

The spreadsheet “names more than 800 firms, assigning them to one of five stark categories: “Caved to Administration” “Complying in Advance” “Other Negative Action” “Stood Up Against Administration’s Attacks” .. or “No Response.” @klasfeldreports.com www.allrisenews.com/p/skadden-st...

The parallels between failings in the field of journalism lately and toxic masculinity rhetoric are important in understanding the massive social change in gender roles and expectations and how that same shift is relevant to the changing expectations of media. www.hbcompass.io/the-misogyny...

Trump tariffs will mean world uses less oil this year, IEA says

China really upping their trolling game since the tariffs.

The future sucks. No flying cars, no self drying clothes and no hoverboards. Instead we’re debating pasteurizing milk, polio vaccines and innocent until proven guilty.

I find it fascinating that dating apps are in decline and nothing seems to be replacing them. Instead incel culture is becoming mainstream fueled by misogynistic alpha male podcasts.

Pentagon celebrates snipping a whole 0.58% from defense budget in IT, DEI cuts

TurboTax and H&R Block have spent millions lobbying against the IRS' free, online filing tool. Dozens of Republicans are now trying to kill the tool. But it's still available and helping millions of taxpayers in 25 states right now. See if you qualify: directfile.irs.gov

Knowing the cause of a problem doesn’t necessarily give you the solution. If you’ve squashed someone with a steam roller the solution isn’t to reverse back over them. Even if global trade led to loss of US jobs, it doesn’t follow that ending it will bring them back. Much else has changed.

Thinking about how Fox News used to publish news stories breaking down the dollar costs of each trip Obama took to imply they were wasteful and now radio silence as Trump is golfing in the midst of stock market crashes and nationwide protests.

A 2nd child has died in Texas from #measles, the 3rd US death in 2025. Context: There have been as many measles deaths this year in the US as there were in the previous 24 years. It's only early April. 2025 is on track to be a very bad measles year. Chart is confirmed cases as of 4/3/25.

Trump is calling them “reciprocal” tariffs, but the code has been cracked — the “tariffs charged to 🇺🇸” column is not tariffs on us at all… it’s 🇺🇸 trade deficit divided by 🇺🇸 imports from that country x100 PSA TO THE MEDIA: Stop calling them “reciprocal tariffs”

Today is March 25, the twenty-fifth day of Women's History Month. Back in the day, HIV/AIDS were thought to only affect gay men. That quickly changed as it became clear that there was more than one was to pass the virus to someone else. 1/

@edzitron.com has pointed out that this headline is incorrect and the reality is so much worse: this guy has raised $2 billion in funding having made no promises to do anything at all.

Columbia Journalism Review tested eight generative AI search tools and found their answers were wrong 60% of the time, and the paid ones actually fared worse than the free ones. Meanwhile, millions of people trust the way they present total bullshit with confident language.

Wait. You want our help now? After imposing crushing tariffs and ruining international relations. You created the war - deal with the rationing. #handsoffmycountry #endtradeterrorism #proudcanadian #buycanadian #buycanadianmade #boycottusa #boycottamerica #travelcanada🇨🇦

#OtD 17 Mar 1972 the Sexton & Everard shoe factory in Fakenham, Norfolk, England, was taken over by its women workers in protest at their dismissal. They began a work-in, making and selling accessories, and later started a cooperative that lasted 5 years stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8...

That’s the point.
