not enough said about how, by turning the national government against states on the basis of ordinary political disagreement, trump is undermining the idea that the union is worthwhile. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

You know you can just not use AI, right? You can make a choice not to be part of this. Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it. You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

ANYWAY I became the latest person to ask "Why don't the Texas Rangers have a Pride NIght?" It would probably not surprise you that it comes from ownership. I looked at why, and talked to some fans and a long time advocate how it makes them feel. www.chron.com/culture/arti...

This sucks. Digital sewing patterns are nice but a huge pain in the ass to print out, tape together, and cut, and I find that the quality of the instructions vary WIDELY (some are really not good). Resources like this that I wrote about previously are so important: www.theverge.com/23169321/com...

New: A DOGE staffer developed an AI tool to review Veterans Affairs contracts. But there was a slight hitch. It hallucinated the size of those deals. For example, it concluded that more than a thousand contracts were each worth $34M, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

In general any history of trans medicine needs to start from the fact that, for most of its history, psychiatry believed gender conformity was itself a measure of health. This fueled a long history of institutionalization and medical violence against women, intersex people, and queer people.

When all is said and done, Azeen Ghorayshi at the New York Times will go down in history as helping to cause incalculable damage to an entire generation of trans kids. I hope advancing her career is worth dead trans kids. She's absolute scum.

Keep track of any Democrat or commentator or personality who advocates for Musk to be welcomed back into the fold. These are people you cannot trust and should be kept as far away from the levers of power as humanly possible.

I was talking about this with my students yesterday—throughout Western Europe, Nazism is treated in public spaces and memorials as a nightmare, as horror that must never be repeated. If slavery and Jim Crow received the same commemoration in the US, we'd be a very different country.

It's pretty noticeable how none of the people lamenting the (very real!) pandemic learning losses want significant investments in public schools. If we care so much about kids' life outcomes we should do all we can to help them catch up, no?

This was a great episode debunking the COVID-19 lab leak crankery. It's really disturbing how this conspiracy has gone fully mainstream, when any honest reading of the facts shows a mountain of hard evidence for the Wuhan market origin and pretty much nothing for the lab leak.

The corporate dems so badly want to be maga, to command power the way the fascists do. Corporate Democrats want you to give up on any kind of progress or better future and just give in to allowing them to destroy what’s left of the country for their corporate friends and owners.

worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news. We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.
