Cheers to that, mate! We have a limited number of the iconic Harvard Book Store Caution: Hot & Literate mugs still available, pop in across the street from the Yard or order online: www.harvard.com/caution-hot-...

To everyone carrying the weight of this week: You may not have told anyone how heavy it felt. You might’ve smiled through it, said "I’m fine" when you weren’t and kept showing up when you just wanted to stop. That takes a kind of strength most people don’t recognize. That matters. You matter.

The top economics journal in the world nearly published an article that, to all appearances, is 100% bullshit. It claimed that AI accelerates scientific discovery. An MIT PhD student appears to have used generative AI to fabricate the whole thing, data and all.

every time I see one of those rants that include an"Ozempic is a weight loss drug" rants its like yes it is and you're simply gonna ignore that it functionally cures Type 2 diabetes and to land whatever zinger you think you've cooked up here huh

never forget kroger paid hazard pay to front line, low pay employees in the early heights of covid then demanded they pay it all back. while we were still in the early heights of covid.

I usually don't share fundraisers but a few of my friends on Twitter who report on the cases of Andrew and Tristan Tate are being sued by them for defamation. This is a blatant act to try and suppress reporters from telling the truth about the Tate Brothers and their case standings... 🧵

The Supreme Court holds that fascism is bad. Thomas and Alito dissent.

so the members of congress just stopped going to el salvador and not a single person who was illegally sent there has been returned and that’s just how it is now?

The Republican tax plan is Robin Hood in reverse. It would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich through a single law in our entire history. Stop this bill.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

I went looking through my archive to references (ca. 1970-2000) in the US press to "white genocide" in Africa. With only one exception, every single one I could find appeared in neo-Nazi publications, like this one from December 1975. CB Baker was a protege of GL Rockwell and Willis Carto.

True story: When I was a contractor at a NASA facility I kept M&Ms on my desk. A civil servant I worked with ate a few one day. The next day I came in to find a pound bag on my desk. He wanted to "reimburse" me because he didn't want the few he ate to be seen as a gift. Anyway

There is a lot in Trump's proclamation on "Establishing Project Homecoming" that is disgusting and seems illegal, but the admin saying they can take people's savings, home, and car if they fail to self deport sure seems like a Nazi thing to do. www.smithsonianmag.com/history/1938...

1/ 80 years ago yesterday, US forces liberated #Dachau concentration camp. My maternal grandfather #DavidMaxEichhorn, a Jewish Chaplain, was there. I will spend next week documenting from contemporaneous reports what he saw & did. #NeverForget #NeverAgain www.history.com/this-day-in-...

How a culture treats its prisoners is a sign of its morality, strength, and authority. We are failing.

I love that the Pulitzer site is straight up like "Yeah, she won because she's so fearless that she quit her job over censorship," and WaPo is still like "Look! We won!" and just acting oblivious to how this makes them look.

Amber Thurman Candi Miller Josseli Barnica Porsha Ngumezi Nevaeh Crain Their deaths could've been prevented. Their lives should not be forgotten.

Few lawyers are willing to speak publicly about President Trump’s actions against law firms. Fear is rippling through Washington. But, despite being a target, Marc Elias is still talking. Scott Pelley sits down with him tonight on 60 Minutes.

The entirety of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health was wiped out last night in a form letter sent by RFK Jr. NIOSH is an agency in the CDC that investigates workplace hazards and finds solutions. It protects workers, so it’s gone. Even firefighters.

and it has this excellent benefit www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/clini...

This is about all of us. Never forget that.

Today is my 52nd birthday and I'm noting the occasion by taking the risk of asking for help. gofund.me/1ce220fe

When top U.S. health officials speak, the rest of the country listens. Eye-opening story from @rosebroderick.bsky.social on unintended consequences of the Trump administration's focus on autism. www.statnews.com/2025/05/01/a...

Uh... This is legitimately frightening www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

“Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Attorney General, shall determine how military and national security assets, training, non-lethal capabilities, and personnel can most effectively be utilized to prevent crime”

Hi, @motherjones.com disabled disability reporter here, I really want to hear about how tariffs are impacting disabled, chronically ill, and aging folks. Reposts appreciated and my email is [email protected].

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 45 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Document posted by National Science Foundation program director on LinkedIn says not only that grants are being terminated by DOGE but that they're being deleted from databases. Presumably to make it difficult or even impossible to undo DOGE's illegal actions.

Good god. Meta is using their AI licensing deals with John Cena, Disney, and others to peddle sex chat bots to kids. Burn this company to the fucking ground. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta...

“Based on a massive dataset of over 50,000 houses in some 1,000 archaeological sites worldwide, the study suggests that economic inequality is not an inevitable result of societal advancement…Instead, it seems to be a consequence of political choices…” #MustRead archaeologymag.com/2025/04/stud...

Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said “on the count of three, women get the right to vote..” That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.

Hakeem Jeffries and Cory Booker are trying to “build up.” Look at the people trying to tear them down in order to build “other people” up.
