I'm glad to hear RFK, Jr. say "sugar is poison." I agree. In 1972, Robert Choate and my mother, Joan Dye Gussow, testified about this before a US Senate subcommittee. Below: 1) RFK 2) the cover of the testimony 3) a page of Choate's w/"sugar" highlighted 4) the final page of my mother's testimony.

In general, I think it’s a good idea to avoid calling anybody “moron”on Easter morning. Spirit of the season and all that.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

It will take a while for the full magnitude of the dark dystopia Trump is orchestrating to become apparent. But it will become apparent. I’m a solvent, joyous, happily married optimist. I’m fact-based and determinedly non-ideological. So the fact that I’m posting this should give you pause.

Forget about the legal case. A man was wrongly deported and placed in a notorious prison with leaders of a gang out to get him. Anyone with an ounce of basic human decency would fix the mistake and return that man to the United States

Curtailing people’s ability to read widely and carefully, to locate, assess, and compare different sources for themselves, and to write in their own voice about what they find and what it means, is arguably more effective than censorship. It is also one of the most obvious effects of generative AI.

It’s unreal - the DOD deleted its page for Charles Calvin Rodgers, a Medal of Honor recipient who was wounded three times while defending against three assaults on his base in Vietnam. Now the URL includes “DEI Medal of Honor.” There’s something about Rodgers I don’t even have to tell you
