"Everything in the world is trying to keep us from getting lost in thought lately." My latest newsletter is about why art and culture are more important than ever, and why the world's most powerful people are trying to wreck them. This is a huge theme in my new book! buttondown.com/charliejane/...

Just saying but, a woman does not go to the ER to get an abortion. She goes to the ER because it’s a nonviable pregnancy that is endangering herself/fetus. To be denied this healthcare is killing the woman. Punishing her for a non viable pregnancy. It’s healthcare. It’s death if not treated!

The guys making these sorts of business calls are the same ones who were enthusing, in the earliest days of LLMs, how they could be used to generate synopses of the classics of literature, so that they could “read” them more efficiently without taking up too much of their gaming & shitposting time.

I feel I should point out that if one of your loved ones experiences a stroke, I think it's a really good idea to help them to be mindful of the media they consume afterwards because of this neuroplasticity.

“I would like to cure brain cancer. I think that's not particularly controversial.” Be that as it may, the NIH terminated that scientist's grant. Here's a huge survey of the 2,500 grants that NIH has killed or delayed...so far. Gift link: nyti.ms/43Jz1yJ
